On Windows the only way I can get File Explorer to display anything in the taskbar other than the .ico file embedded in the calibre.exe, is to replace the .ico in the .exe. Or if I have a shortcut pinned to the taskbar then replace .ico in the .lnk file in %appdata%\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar.

If I override the lt.png in resources/images/, or set a library specific icon that will change what's in the title bar (and calibre's toolbar of course), but it won't change what's shown in the task bar… even if I refresh it with ie4uinit -show.

But once again - None of that helps with MacOS.

Added: on reflection, maybe MacOS reflects title bar icon changes in the dock display.
