I want to change the ico of exe file at desktop, too. but i don't know how to do it.

"copy /b nw.exe+abc.zip abc.exe" ,then abc.exe's ico is the compass that from nw.exe, i hope change the compass ico to other.

cannot change the icon in package.json? yes I mean the compass icon but not the icon after I clicked the exe.

If you are talking about nw.exe's icon here is executable without compass
icon on it. Removed by Microsoft Visual Studio.​

I use Resource Hacker to customize app icon.Now ,my app.exe's icon is custom icon.But when I execute it,the icon of title bar is still the compass icon.

[kamesh-a]

In package.json

"window": {
"title": "Title icon change ",
"icon": "customIcon.png"
}

128x128 png.

This will change the title icon from node webkit icon to custom one.

Can somebody tell me how to change the nwjs.app icon in mac?
I have replaced nw.icns inside /Contents/Resources directory with new nw.icns but it still not changing the package's icon.

Apparently, you can do that in either the siftware Web2Executable, or using one of the following answers:
Changing node webkit app icon on windows from cli
how do I programmatically change icon of a Windows executable and Mac application?

[ghostoy]

On Mac, icon is cached by the system. You have to move your app to a new
folder to see icon changed.
