[strongant]

var iconPath = __dirname + '/app/assets/img/appledisk.png';

function createWindow() {
mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
width: 1000,
height: 1000,
icon: iconPath
});

See #90 (comment) and reply here.

According to the BrowserWindow documentation, the icon argument needs to be a NativeImage, not a path string.

Since this question isn't related to electron-packager, I'm marking it as invalid and closing it.

Use electron-builder to build deb/rpm/etc for Linux — icons will be installed according to https://developer.gnome.org/integration-guide/stable/desktop-files.html.en

Creating a .desktop file shouldn't be necessary for setting an icon - it certainly doesn't for GNOME3. If it's required for Unity, I would be surprised.
