I use the --icon option when creating the app image, but that is the icon for the application launcher.  There could be multiple icons in the image on Windows, one for each launcher. (I haven’t checked yet if that works.. trying multiple launchers is something that I will need to do soon.)

There are other needs for an icon when making the package.  For Windows the "Add or remove programs" has an icon (ARP_ICON property in the MSI).  For macOS the DMG has an icon - currently this is showing up as the Java coffee cup logo.  I want an image that identifies my company or application.
