I’ve created a standalone Windows application using RingNotepad. Is there an option to embed an icon directly into the application as its icon?

Currently, I'm using rcedit from the Electron repository to set the icon.

Thank you for your help.

Hello Riko

For windows applications when using Ring2EXE
We can add (*.rc) file in the application folder to set the icon

Example: GoldMagic800 Level Editor

cd ring\applications\goldmagic800\editor
ring2exe leveleditor.ring -gui -dist -allruntime
copy gold.ico target\windows

Another related info is the use of qrc files for Qt projects

Thanks for sharing this tool :D

Greetings,
