If you right click on your actual project that you want to change the final icon and select properties at the pop-up menu, then the main screen will change to the properties file edit, in the screen that appeared, at the botton you will see that you can select the icon to use in the application, select it and when you compile your project, at the release type you will see that the application have the icon that you selected.
Regards.
