I don't want a shortcut, I want the binary with a different icon. Programs compiled "from scratch" don't have an icon and a shortcut is useless when a separate person downloads the binary in "the wrong folder".
As someone that wrote Windows applications for a living, that's wrong. You just have to add a resource file and your icon.
You add the icon to resource file when compiling don't you?
I don't remember it being much of a chore. But it's been a while since I created a desktop app.
I'm fairly sure Linux requires a separate file to specify the icon as well doesn't it?
