Take the attached zip file and extract it in your extensions directory. Replace the icon in the included "icons" directory with the one you want to use. When you want to change your icon, restart your campaign, selecting "Replace GM Token" from the extensions list in the startup screen.
GM Icon.zip

Create a folder under your extensions folder and put the xml and icons folder into it.

Rename "GM Icon.zip" to "GM Icon.ext"

Okay, now it appeared in my extensions for the campaign when I reloaded the program.
But it is still showing the default GM icon, even though I changed the one in the Icons folder to the one that I wanted.
I tried a couple of times (didn't overwrite the png image) and same result.Proud Ultimate License Holder

No, unzip the file I provided into a directory with the same name as the zip file ("GM Icon"). Then it will show up on your list of extensions. Put the icon you want in the icons subdirectory of this folder, and the next time you start FG, you will have the icon you want. In the future, changing that icon will replace it for games that are using this extension.
Having the extension out there with the ".ext" name means that it will always use the one packed in the.ext file.
Your "GM Icon" folder should contain the .xml from the zip file, plus an icons directory. The default icon for the gm is currently in the icons directory.

Skip the zip/ext entirely and just leave it a folder. It'll still be seen by FG and usable, but you'll be able to swap the img with a simple drag/drop or even setup a quick script to do so.
