I'm not able to set a image to be a icon

[Werner1201]

I've been trying to set a temp.jpg as the Icon on the example It always gives to me a "OS Error" on the debugger. here's my code:

#![windows_subsystem = "windows"]
//use std::path;

//#[cfg(target_os = "windows")]
fn main() -> Result<(), systray::Error> {
    let mut app;
    match systray::Application::new() {
        Ok(w) => app = w,
        Err(_) => panic!("Can't create window!"),
    }
    // w.set_icon_from_file(&"C:\\Users\\qdot\\code\\git-projects\\systray-rs\\resources\\rust.ico".to_string());
    // w.set_tooltip(&"Whatever".to_string());
    let cam = "D\\pactw\\RustProjects\\teste_sys_tray\\temp.png";
    app.set_icon_from_file(&cam.to_string())?;

    app.add_menu_item("Print a thing", |_| {
        println!("file!()");
        Ok::<_, systray::Error>(())
    })?;

    app.add_menu_item("Add Menu Item", |window| {
        window.add_menu_item("Interior item", |_| {
            println!("what");
            Ok::<_, systray::Error>(())
        })?;
        window.add_menu_separator()?;
        Ok::<_, systray::Error>(())
    })?;

    app.add_menu_separator()?;

    app.add_menu_item("Quit", |window| {
        window.quit();
        Ok::<_, systray::Error>(())
    })?;

    println!("Waiting on message!");
    app.wait_for_message()?;
    Ok(())
}

Well I discovered the problem, If I bring the image to the target/debug and make it directly from the name of the file It works. Now the question is why the library does not accept the Absolute path of the file

[rafamerlin]

I just tested on mine with the complete path of the image and it worked.

I think maybe the issue is that you're missing a : in your path: D:\\pactw\\RustProjects\\teste_sys_tray\\temp.png

Okay, it worked adding the : but I have another question. How do I set the icon from a buffer and which type of buffer ? Because I'm using the Image library to generate images but the Image buffer that it generates isn't read by this crate

I personally used the set_icon_from_buffer() function and a buffer set with the include_bytes! macro (because I embed the icon in the binary) but this function seems to work only with .ICO data.

let enabled_icon = include_bytes!("../assets/checkmark.ico");
app.set_icon_from_buffer(enabled_icon, 128, 128)?;

[Werner1201]

Okay I'll try that, but I think it'll not be as optimized as I thought. Because I'm using a request to a weather API and then creating an image with the temperature then setting this icon to the systray. What I'm seeking is to eliminate the need to create the file and only use things internally. The link to my project is here if you want to help me, I'm learning the language with this project since it uses various concepts of the language
