kivy: Window Application icon doesn't work
on windows platform with kivy 1.8.0 ‘portable package’, App.icon doesn’t set the window icon, tested with the following code:
from kivy.app in App
class MyApp(App):
def build(self):
self.icon = 'myicon.png'
if __name__ == '__main__':
MyApp().run()
example from the kivy.App documentation

Bug still present on Ubuntu 16.04 and Kivy 1.9.2.
One reason is because the icon doesn’t appear on Ubuntu Unity is because that OS relies on .desktop files. On my blog, I describe a handy workaround:

@maltfield Hm, it appears it wasn’t archived, however, I DID republish it on DEV a while back! (I’d forgotten).

@yukkidev I was able to get this working in my project, you may be able to use it for a reference: https://github.com/n2qzshce/ham-radio-sync/blob/1819c70019f9e42140b056b76b082bb0208454af/src/ui/app_window.py#L135
Ah, yes it is. I’ll have to run it through internet archive later.
Is there a fix for this?
