The taskbar icon:

and the window icon:

Are both using the default Electron icon. Given the good ui, it'd be nice to have something more battlecode-y there, as it makes it easier to identify, and looks cool.

I've had a crack at making an icon that uses the battlecode colors and font (at least from the new ui), so here it is:

I've converted that to several different formats and sizes(everything you'd need to make anything from and Android app to a modern Web App for multiple browsers), which you can download here: AssetStudio.zip

That version was made using Android Asset Studio however I have made several variations before this which were built using vector shapes in Photoshop, so you can use them if you'd like more customisability: IconVariations.zip

As well as this, I also made a small html site which lets you view what it would look like in the taskbar, as well as some premade manifest files so that all browsers know that the site is a web app and what icons to use, so perhaps you could integrate that into the client as well

(I realise I could have just committed and requested a pull, but this lets you guys decide which icon you like more, and choose how you want to implement it)

Some improvements to the HTML!!

  • Made manifest load correctly
  • If this were a "progressive" web app, the only missing thing now would be a service worker for offline
  • Told mobile phones some more info so it colors things correctly, and now opens as a native app
  • More meta tags

New download: html.zip
