### Format
> `'*file*'`

### Default value
> *empty*

Custom icon used for the window. If no icon is specified, the Dream Seeker icon is used by windows by default.

If this control is a pane, its icon will appear on the tab if the pane is inside a tab control. Lack of an icon will mean no icon appears in the tab.

> The Windows `.ico` format is not used. Only image formats BYOND can already use are supported.
