Icon issue
I'm having problems displaying the icon set in the front-end, when I launch the app it is displayed in a common Chrome window.
What OS is this, and what file format are your icons in?
Linux Mint, the format is ico. What is the right procedure to set icon? Maybe I'm wrong.
Chrome / Chromium on Linux does not support showing a web-app's favicon in the launcher as far as I know, so that's one limitation Eel can't do much about. You may be able to get around this by creating a custom .desktop file for a launcher entry and making e.g. Gnome or Cinnamon use that (whatever your shell of choice is). Chrome will still launch as a separate window with the Chrome/Chromium icon showing, unless your grab and link the window manager's ID for the window in the launcher, which is complicated and I cannot help with much.
For the Chrome/Chromium window itself (depending on whether the window manager / the window decorations it draws support this) you might have better luck getting your favicon displayed if you use a PNG instead of an ICO file.
Sorry I can't be of much more help, the issue is more to do with Chrome/Chromium than Eel, and they won't do much about it I'd imagine as they're not officially supporting their app mode anymore.
I have created .desktop file for my program but chromium icon appears when it launches .
