Is there a way to get icons on the tabs in conemu? I would like the tab to have a PowerShell icon for my PowerShell tab for example. I have got it to work for the taskbar/jump list by specifying a task parameter, but I haven't figured out how to get icon on the tabs.

Tab icons are available from the box for most of shells (if shell executable has icon in its resource).

If your shell does not have icon, or you want to use custom icon, look below for examples:

  • use /icon "C:\cygwin\Cygwin.ico" in your task parameters
  • use -new_console:C:"C:\cygwin\Cygwin.ico" in the shell arguments

What does the :C: part means in -new_console:C:"C:\cygwin...? – Nikos Baxevanis – 2018-08-09T06:43:08.297

All switches are explained in docs: https://conemu.github.io/en/NewConsole.html

This would be a great feature. – Justin Dearing – 2013-06-19T17:01:45.450

Maybe @Maximus could know :) Task parameter /icon "C:\cygwin64\Cygwin.ico" doesn't work for me. I have to use command parameter -cur_console:C:"C:\cygwin64\Cygwin.ico". I'm using ConEmu 140416 64 bit. – Dawid Ferenczy Rogožan – 2014-05-15T12:20:30.637

"/icon ..." is working on my side. You know how to report bugs... – Maximus – 2014-05-15T12:38:30.723

Yes, in the Settings menu, specify the following in the Task parameters:

/icon "C:\PathToYour\TaskIcon.ico"

2This does not work for me (ConEmu 140416 64bit). Should it work? I have to use -cur_console:C:"C:\cygwin64\Cygwin.ico" as command parameter instead. Task parameter /icon "C:\cygwin64\Cygwin.ico" does nothing. – Dawid Ferenczy Rogožan – 2014-05-14T13:39:56.067

1The Task parameters value of /icon "C:\cygwin\Cygwin.ico" works for me, although the "Run as Administrator" shield is overlayed above it to the point where it's difficult to see. – JackAce – 2014-05-14T18:49:21.300

You can create a bug report on ConEmu's Google Code project page.
