So this is probably a stupid question with a simple answer, but how do I make an icon for my game for Linux?
I'm getting the standard ? icon and in the documentation it mentions how to create icons for Windows and Mac, but not Linux.

Try config.window_icon and config.windows_icon.

I have those two plus the windows and mac icons set, and I'm getting icons for linux.

Alright it worked, thank you, I knew it was some silly mistake from my part.
Funny enough I had config.window_icon defined, but not config.windows_icon. This was kinda confusing because in the documentation it says the first one is for Linux and Mac while the second for Windows, but it seems it was the opposite? Oh well, now it works at least. Thanks again.
