THAT is actually the solution ;) The *.ico file you specify in the RC file is ONLY used for the desktop icon (that is the one you see in file explorer, the one you double-click upon).

The icon in the application switcher however is the one FROM THE APPLICATION WINDOW, and that one is set with above method setWindowIcon()!

So provide a large enough *.png (is SVG supported here as well?) and your icon in the task switcher should be fine :)

Cheers, Oliver
