icons in filelight on windows

[Julius Künzel]

Hi,

it sounds as if reading this article would be the answer to your problem: https://cullmann.io/posts/kde-applications-and-icons/ at the end of the article there are some code examples.

See also eg. https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kate/-/commit/a74a2657c7fb642c4062afb50a2c7920da315eca

I hope this helps!
