Can't change EXE icon

[Dinocanid]

I've been having trouble changing the EXE icon for my game. I've searched the forums for solutions since other people have had this issue before, but none of them work for me. Oddly enough, the icon appears just fine on the game window itself and in the taskbar/dock, except the executable file still uses the default renpy icon.
This is what I have in options.rpy:

Code: Select all

define config.window_icon = "window_icon.ico"

I've tried .png as well, but it the exe icon still doesn't change. Is this just a really weird bug? I'm still using 6.99 instead of the recently released 7.0, could that be part of it?
This isn't really a huge issue right now since my game is nowhere near being close to release, but I'd still like to fix it by then.

The window icon isn't the same as the executable icon.
See:

You need a special file format called .ico and it must meet specific criteria regarding resolution. You just need to put it in your project folder (not the game folder)

Oh ok, that wasn't clear.
What are the specifications for the icon? When I exported the ico file from gimp there were at least 5 options (like 16bit, 8bit, and so on). It's 250x250 in size if that's what you mean.

That should work, gimp is able to output the correct format.

Sorry for bringing this up also, here are my icon files. I have put them in the game and main folder both, and still the icon won't change. Is something wrong?
