in the last ver 0.21.4 old nwjs icon - not alright.

I also noticed this, shows nw js icon until the window is fully loaded.

I can reproduce this issue on Windows 7 with nwjs-sdk-v0.21.4. But it doesn't occur on Windows 10/8. It doesn't show old nwjs icon or custom icon, it just shows load icon before the window is fully loaded.
