How I can change the Electron app icon without electron-packager?

Question

I want to change default electron icon without electron-packager?

Many sites describe the way that using electron-packager. But I don't want to use electron-packager to learn feature of electron.

How I can do it?

My platform is darwin. (OS X 10.10.5)

Answer 1

You didn't specify a platform, but for OS X (darwin) you just need to replace the name_here.icns file at the path <approot>/Contents/Resources/name_here.icns with your own .icns file and when you reload the app it will have a then new icon.

That being said, Electron packager is cool because it be platform agnostic and it can automate this.
