Found a solution:
! warning might say “Your cursor installation is corrupted” afterward

Go to

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\cursor\resources\app\out\vs\workbench

(for me it’s in c drive, but if you installed cursor in some other drive, it’d be there, “cursor\resources\app\out\vs\workbench” this part won’t change regardless) // can use something like everything search and just search up the static path.

Open “workbench.desktop.main.css”

If you wanna hide the icon completely:
Search for “.window-appicon”
then just set the first one’s (from search) CSS “width: 0px” instead of “width:35px”. reopen Cursor after saving the file to see the change.

If you change the icon:
search “.window-appicon:not(.codicon)” and change the “background-image:url(“data:image/svg+xml,…”)” with your own url encoded svg. reopen Cursor after saving the file to see the change.

I originally found this here but it was for vscode not for Cursor. Had to improvise to make it work with Cursor.

Note : If someone want exact Vscode Icon then that is also present in VS_code area

Path : C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\out\vs\workbench\workbench.desktop.main.css

window-appicon:not(.codicon){background-image:url(…/…/media/code-icon.svg)

Just replace the exact url( ) and copy the image to cursor directory.
