Thanks for the info! And I cannot believe that this topic is somewhat alive even after three years.

I’ve been looking everywhere for the simplest way possible to make a task bar icon. A big and fat THANK YOU!

Old post but it works like a charm. I don’t know why Hasani have said the code doesn’t work in linux, because I’m running ubuntu and it works ok.

On linux, this doesnt work, so after digging a little I found documentation of Icon at http://docs.wxwidgets.org/stable/wx_wxbitmapoverview.html , according to information on this page, BITMAP_TYPE_ICO i.e. .ico files are not cross plateform and only work on windows, the only icon type which has full compatability is wxBITMAP_TYPE_XPM i.e. .xpm files, so if we use something like
icon = wx.Icon(“favicon.xpm”, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_XPM)
then it will become cross plateform
