Icon

I've been working on adding an icon here. Everything worked out, but I still don't understand how to change the icon in the Windows taskbar

We drew the icon from scratch with Lavanette

[bropines]

self.setWindowTitle("My Window") self.setWindowIcon(QtGui.QIcon('test_icon.png')) used this module

Whoa, thanks in advance!

Copy-paste following lines into ballontranslator/__main__.py

    if sys.platform == 'win32':
        import ctypes
        myappid = u'BalloonsTranslator' # arbitrary string
        ctypes.windll.shell32.SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID(myappid)

Besides, I would like to suggest using #697187 instead of pure black.
And would you kindly make it a bit less like DeepL's?

1. I think we'll edit color.
2. The reference was just taken from DeepL) I have already sent the files to the email address specified in your github profile. I'm just warning you. Now we will quickly make a redesign

Thanks again! I have made the pre-mentioned changes to master branch. You only need to modify the following line to specify the icon file path: https://github.com/dmMaze/BallonsTranslator/blob/18a65651dce7700e24de9e17496173cc3d58cdfb/ballontranslator/ui/constants.py#L3

For some reason windows refuses to show the icon in the taskbar. Maybe it's because I have the Python microsoft store?

[dmMaze]

Did you update to 18a65651dce7700e24de9e17496173cc3d58cdfb?

Run the following code, what's the output?

import sys
print(sys.platform)

hmm, it works on my set:

Python 3.8.10 (tags/v3.8.10:3d8993a, May  3 2021, 11:48:03) [MSC v.1928 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
PyQt: v 5.15.4  

try add app.setWindowIcon(QIcon(constants.ICON_PATH)) following this line: https://github.com/dmMaze/BallonsTranslator/blob/18a65651dce7700e24de9e17496173cc3d58cdfb/ballontranslator/main.py#L42

[bropines]

Failure again. I think the fact is that I have a python version downloaded from the MIcrosoft Store and windows stupidly blocks any changes

[dmMaze]

Did the program's terminal spit out any unsual message on start-up?

[bropines]

D:\ai\BallonsTranslator\ballontranslator>python __main__.py
[INFO   ] dl_manager:on_finish_setdetector:622 - Text detector set to ctd

And nothing more

Maybe we should switch to some messenger (by the type of telegram) to communicate more conveniently?

I send

I'll close the question for now. There is an updated icon in my fork, someday we will get to the icon, but not now.
