Description

It would be nice to set a Window Icon which shows both in the title bar and in the taskbar.

For the exe itself https://github.com/mxre/winres does work fine. For the Window itself this is not yet clear.

Research direction

Start by investigating how druid creates and manages a Windows window, then compare the needed behavior with the winres approach linked in the issue. The work is done when a window icon appears in both the title bar and the Windows taskbar, rather than only setting the executable icon.
