not trying to be a douche, but if someone hasn't discovered that you can change the icon via the properties panel you should really re-evaluate your common sense, but if your a noob at programming i totally understand :)

Yes it does as my friend Hypnotick said. Follow the steps in all 3 spoilers and it will change icon in taskbar, icon u click for the program to open also.

It is a direct alternative to icon changer! Enjoy bro :D
