Hello. I finished my gamejam game other than making art improvements, and set out a test deployment because I've never done one, and found that when I open the folder, the icon from the .exe file is not the icon in the icon folder. When I pull up the game, the correct icon displays in the corner of the screen and at my bottom toolbar, so I'm not concerned about that, but I know I've seen other games have their chosen icons instead of the nwjs icon. So I was wondering how that's done, or if it's a legacy engine feature and can't be done any longer in MZ.
