Why isn't .ico file defined when setting window's icon?

Question

When I tried to change the window icon in the top left corner from the ugly red \"TK\" to my own favicon using the code below, Python threw an error:

from tk         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

from tkinter import *
import os
import sys

root = Tk()
root.iconbitmap(os.path.join(sys.path[0], ''))

root.mainloop()

Note: replace with the name of the ico file you are using otherwise it won't work.

I have tried this in Python 3. It worked.
