Changing the icon

Two ways to use your own icon:

Option A — drop the icon into your workspace (easiest)

1. Copy your icon (.ico or .png) into the workspace (the directory where you run dsh web, e.g. D:\DeepseekHarness);
2. Re-run the command:

/desktop-shortcut

The plugin picks up the first .ico/.png found in the workspace. If several icons exist, remove the old ones or make sure yours sorts first.

Option B — pin an exact path with iconPath

Set iconPath in the plugin config:

- id: desktop-shortcut
  config:
    iconPath: 'D:\my-icons\my-custom.ico'

Then restart dsh web and re-run /desktop-shortcut.

If the desktop still shows the old icon after changing it, refresh the desktop (press F5) or right-click the desktop → Refresh — Windows caches icons. .ico is recommended for crisp rendering at all sizes.
