If you right click on your actual project to change the final icon and select properties from the popup menu, then the main screen changes to edit the properties file on the screen that appears in the botton, you will see that you can select the icon to be used in the application. select it and when you compile your project, in the release type you will see that the application has the icon you selected.

On the project settings page for the Console application, go to the application page.

Under Icon and Manifest, click the [...] button next to where it says (default icon) and select an icon. Rebuild your application.



This will give your console app a custom icon.
