FAQs

Icons on Windows?

• Prepare different sizes (e.g. 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, 128x128, 256x256, etc.) of .pngs and use icotool or some other tools to create a proper .ico file.
• Set the path of .ico to package.json:build.win.icon.
• Set the path of a .png to package.json:window.icon.
• Save and build.

Windows Explorer might not reflect the changes immediately, if you have everything done and still see a default icon, check with something like Resource Hacker and restart Windows Explorer.

Building for NSIS target takes a long time, what can I do?

Please follow evshiron/nwjs-builder-phoenix#7, before that you can add --concurrent to enable concurrent building, which should reduce time when building for multiple platforms.

How can I use nwjs-builder-phoenix with Chrome Apps?

Simply add --chrome-app to the commandline arguments which enables support for Chrome Apps.

Also configurations should be set in manifest.json instead of package.json but within the same build property.

What's nsis target and what's the difference with nsis and nsis7z target?

nsis target will build NSIS installers (and updaters when package.json:build.nsis.diffUpdaters is true) for Windows.

nsis7z target will use 7za to compress and Nsis7z plug-in to extract, instead of the built-in LZMA compression, resulting in a better and faster compression. But it doesn't list installed files, onlya percentage indicating the progress of extraction when installing.
