How to change TouchGFX Windows simulation icons?

How do we change the TouchGFX Windows simulation icon?

See "how" image. I want to change the icon that appears in the top-left corner of the window, as well as the icon that appears in the windows task bar.

I can see that the icon used for these is located at

C:\TouchGFX\4.13.0\designer\Skins\Dark\Logo\touchgfx_logo.png

C:\TouchGFX\4.13.0\designer\Skins\Blue\Logo\touchgfx_logo.png

But if I manually change these and run the TouchGFX Simulator, the icon does not change. Where is this hard-coded then, so that we can change this?

I also see that the "touchgfx_logo.png" file is referenced in these files

C:\TouchGFX\4.13.0\designer\Skins\Dark\skin.json

C:\TouchGFX\4.13.0\designer\Skins\Blue\skin.json

in the line:  "Image": "Logo/touchgfx_logo.png", in lines 1512 and 1513 respectfully.

We have also found this file, but this icon is completely different than these:

C:\TouchGFX\4.13.0\designer\Files\touchgfx.ico

We are using TouchGFX version 4.13.0 if this was not clear from the folder paths.

Can we change this or is this impossible to change? ��

The icon used by the simulator is taken from, e.g..

C:\TouchGFX\4.13.0\designer\Files

And once the application is created it is located in the following folder of your app:

TouchGFX\simulator

Thank you very for your reply. I was able to change how the icon appears in windows explorer.

Could you please take a look at the 2 orange circles? I am also trying to change those 2 icons. The icon of the top-left corner of the window, and the icon that appears on the windows task bar.

Could you please tell me how to change those as well?

See attached "how3"
