[shaswat94]

Not able to test my fix, any leads? @crutkas

[crutkas]

I need more information on what you tried. I'd suggest building the entire solution and setting runner as the start up project. Debug from there.

[shaswat94]

The .ico file is missing for AlwaysOnTop. Need to figure out a way to add the main app icon for AlwaysOnTop.

[shaswat94]

Tried adding .ico file to the .vcxproj. The icon is now being displayed on the output application directory but still doesn't show up in the TaskManger. Any help?
