I am using just basic CEFPython library:

cef.Initialize()
browser = cef.CreateBrowserSync()
cef.MessageLoop()

I am building it using PyInstaller, and I have set icon parameter to the EXE function

However, I get the following result:

The icon is set correctly in Windows Explorer and in the taskbar, however in the top-left corner of the window itself the icon is not set.

Is it possible to solver the issue? Or is it necessary to use additional libraries such as PyQT?

Thank you

On Windows you can use ctypes and call Win32 API. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54578853/how-to-set-a-cef-window-icon-in-python
Set both ICON_BIG and ICON_SMALL.
