The file name of the icon should be the same as the executable with a \c .png extension. You also need a \c .desktop file that gives the window manager hints about the application, such as name, type and icon. \quotefile applicationicon/applicationicon.desktop The \c Icon field should also contain the name of the executable. On the device, application icons are stored in the \c /usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps directory and desktop files in the \c /usr/share/applications/hildon directory. \section1 Adding the icons to the project For Maemo, we need to add that the \c .desktop and icon file should be installed. \quotefile applicationicon/applicationicon.pro Currently, Qt Creator doesn't include the icon and desktop files in the application package for Maemo, merely the executable file is included. As a workaround for this, the files can be added manually in the Projects tab. In the "Create Package" build step for the Maemo target, the \c .desktop file and icon can be added to be a part of the package contents. Unfortunately, these additions are only stored as a part of the \c .pro.user file. This issue will be resolved in a future release of Qt Creator. \image appicon_packagecontents.png Manual addition of files to the "Create Package" build step */
