How do you add an icon to your Stellaris mod?

I tried adding the following line:

picture = "apolloicon.png"

And I put the file inside of the mod's folder, at the same level as my common and localisation folders and the descriptor.mod file.

When I upload, the icon doesn't show up in the workshop. Does anyone know what I should be doing to get this to work?
 
Make sure the image is actually a png and not apolloicon.png.jpeg or something. I had that problem. May not be whats happening here though. It has to be the exact name in your .mod file and in the root directory of the mod. Also the descriptor file is actually redundant. It isn't really needed.
 
Alright, something you said definitely helped. The descriptor.mod file is the only file I had the line that adds an icon. I still needed to add that line to the .mod file that's beside the mod's folder.

Thanks for the help!
 
Try renaming the picture to Thumbnail.png
And have that in your discriptor as well;
picture="Thumbnail.png"
