Add an icon to the title bar of a panda3d window

Scripting Issues

Hi, I’d like to know if I can add an icon to the panda3d window in the title bar instead of having the basic icon.

First, place the icon file into your game folder. Then create a configuration file for your game in your game folder (if you haven’t already). Add a line such as this to the configuration file:

icon-filename game.ico

Then load the configuration file in your code before creating the main window. This can be done in the constructor of your showbase class, but must be done before calling the base constructor. Here’s an example:

from direct.showbase.ShowBase import ShowBase
from panda3d.core import load_prc_file


class Game(ShowBase):
    def __init__(self):
        load_prc_file("settings.prc")
        ShowBase.__init__(self)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    Game().run()

This will work too.

from panda3d.core import WindowProperties
from direct.showbase.ShowBase import ShowBase

class Game(ShowBase):
    def __init__(self):
        ShowBase.__init__(self)

        properties = WindowProperties()
        properties.set_title('Half-Life 3')
        properties.set_size(800, 600)
        properties.set_icon_filename("pandaIcon.ico")

        base.win.request_properties(properties)

game = Game()
game.run()
