Update the default app icons

[mahozad]

Please update the default icons used for app executables if no icon is provided by the developer.

The current icons contain Kotlin logo (its old version).

I can create a pull request if you'd like (have not tested the .icns file).

Old	New

We will change the icon to the new Kotlin icon.

@igordmn Wouldn't it be better to use the Compose Multiplatform logo?

And how about removing the background white container (and also the transparent padding)? I think this is something done more for Android apps. Doing it for Windows icon makes it so small:

I should also mention that the existing .ICO file contains 128x128 size which may not be needed and makes the file unnecessarily large. The standard sizes for an exe icon can be found here.

And while we are at it, how about Compose Gradle plugin taking only a vector (SVG) image and automatically generating the proper icons for different platforms?

Wouldn't it be better to use the Compose Multiplatform logo?

There are more obstacles for that - discussing with Google, and deciding which icon should be used. There is the separate blue icon for other Compose's than Jetpack Compose (you can see it on this page), which can be not look good in small scale and on different backgrounds (but I am not sure).

taking only a vector (SVG) image

That will be great :). But I am not sure that we find resources to implement that in the near future. If you or someone else implements that, we'll gladly review it, and merge if everything is okay.

How can we replace the default icon with custom icon in desktop? I am on windows and .exe file has kotlin logo as shown in image.
