Replace Mathworks icon with my own in the figure

Hi, I have designed an app which I want to sell as an exe file (which is run outside MATLAB environment). I was wondering if it's technically possible to replace the small icon on the upper left corner of the figure with my own. I have credited Mathworks in the app to address the copyright issue. Thank you.

When you build an exe with MATLAB Compiler, you can specify your own icon for the upper left corner:

Modifying it in the figure in MATLAB conflicts with the software license agreement.

But this feature is available in the newer versions of MATLAB compiler. I use MATLAB 2013a. Please advise. Thank you.

Yes that functionality was released in R2013b. You'll need to upgrade to at least this version:

IIRC, R2013b might have made it easy, but it has been possible for years if some work was put into it. Details more likely on the newsgroup than in Answers.

Thank you Walter. I did find this in the Newsgroup: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/171598

The code that they recommend works fine for GUI figures

javaFrame = get(hObject,'JavaFrame');
javaFrame.setFigureIcon(javax.swing.ImageIcon('myicon.PNG'));

But I need to change the icon in the regular figures. Any idea how to do this? Thanks again.

My trouble with this (otherwise nice) feature is that the compiler produces a very blurry icon. Do I miss something here or...?
