        Hi,

        See the App Icon chapter in Qt's documentation.

            @vaibs
            @SGaist has tried to help.

            You haven't explained what it is you want to do.

            If it's set the icon while an application is running, you can use QMainWindow::setWindowIcon().

            If it's set the icon for a desktop launcher, you'll have to create a .desktop file and put it on the right place. Mine happens to look like:

            [Desktop Entry]
            Version=1.0
            Type=Application
            Name=Jinn
            Icon=jinn.png
            Exec=python3 "Jinn/Code/home.py"
            Comment=Jinn Application
            Categories=Application
            Terminal=false
            

            Where that goes depends on desktop manger. Which you have not specified.

            I don't have time right now to type any more, see how you go.

                I want set icon after run application in qt

                Then if you're not trying to have the icon as a clickable link on your desktop, but simply to show up as the icon for the application once you run it, you won't need a .desktop file, you'll only need the QMainWindow::setWindowIcon().

                But i want this work on ubuntu

                That's why I gave you a working example on Ubuntu.

                      Solved it by using QMainWindow::setWindowIcon() for setting icon .
                      Thank you...

                        QMainWindow::setWindowIcon("name _of_png_file");
