Changing the monogame icon in .Net Core. [SOLVED]

I have had this problem for a year, but thought I should probably get it fixed. How do you changed the icon in the menu bar to something other than the Monogame icon? I am using visual studio and .Net Core. I have changed the icon in Application under Project Properties, but that did not help.

I think you change these not 100% on that been a while since i did it.

And also clean your build once in a while too.

Ahhh Figured it out. In accordance with willmotils answer, I had the Icon updated in the project, but you must set the file to CopyAlways or CopyIfNewer and the content type must be ‘Resource’.

That gets us all to be honest

Thank you for this!

For future developers who find this thread: In order to get mine to work, in addition to setting the file to CopyAlways, I had to set the content type / build action to “EmbeddedResource” (not Resource).

It did not work for me.
But this was helpful (The logical name must be set in the project file):
