Assuming you are using electron-packager make sure to read this, https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-packager/blob/master/docs/api.md#icon. It states that the linux platform needs to set the icon within the BrowserWindow options. This is also stated in the electron-vue docs, https://simulatedgreg.gitbooks.io/electron-vue/content/en/using-electron-packager.html#default-building-configurations.

I'm using electron-builder
I have tried with BrowserWindow, But Nothing ??
and the path is correct because after build terminates I see this:

and I have changed the icons in the app/icons folder to the icon in the picture, to make sure that the icons loaded correctly in the path:

  mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
    height: 728,
    minHeight: 728,
    minWidth: 1024,
    width: 1024,
    icon: path.join(__dirname, 'app/icons/icon.png')
  })

and i have in app/icons

• icon.icns
• icon.ico
• icon.png (1024px x 1024px)

Any other ideas ... !!, and thanks for the comment ,

I think I found the problem
I have changed to electron-packager then npm run build but nothing changed,
in folder build/app-linux-x64/resources
I use asar e app.asar dist to extract the dist folder , and i do not found the icons at all !!!

i changed in config.js the
ignore: /^\/(src|index\.ejs|icons)/,
to
ignore: /^\/(src|index\.ejs)/,
and the icons folder appear after extract , i think that path not working with app.asar file ??

can you change the paths to load icons from app root directly not from sub-folders ??
