      Hi,

      See the App Icon chapter in Qt's documentation.

          @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");
