Using Tkinter command “iconbitmap” to set window icon

Question

I have a program with Tkinter window and I want to set an icon for the window. I coded this:okno.iconbitmap(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))+\"/icon.png\")

Answer 1

Assuming this error is thrown in Windows OS, problem is that iconbitmap does not seem to support png filetype in Windows. Use .ico filetype instead. This webtool works superb for me - https://iconverticons.com/online/. For Linux OS, use xbm filetype.

PS- Please provide relevant details when asking questions next time. For example: name and version of OS where you got this error.

Answer 2

in PyCharm before mainloop add

app.iconbitmap(r'C:\Users\User\PycharmProjects\HelloWorld\my.ico')

in console input

pyinstaller --onefile -w -F -i "my.ico" my.py

Answer 3

Code to turn files into ico format with pillow library. Available formats: https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/handbook/image-file-formats.html

from PIL import Image
filen = r'icon.png'
img = Image.open(filen)
img.save('icon.ico',format = 'ICO', sizes=[(32,32)])
