Hi,

    I would like to change the VSTA IDE icon for my application . Is there any  way to achive this ?

    thank's

Digvijay,

No, icon has to be the MS VSTA icon.  What are you trying to accomplish by changing this? The title of the IDE is customizable.  Here is some links and info from the SDK on how to customize the IDE if you are interested. 

Hope this helps, please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,

You can configure thedevelopment environment for the host application by modifying the settings forthe Visual Studio Tools for Applications integrated development environment(IDE), creating an in-process host, and adding registry entries.

IDE Settings

You can modify the generalsettings of the Visual Studio Tools for Applications development environment byusing option settings that are available in the IDE. For more information, seeVisual Studio Settings. To make these settings the default initial settings foradd-in developers:

1.     ExportVisual Studio Tools for Applications settings to a file. For moreinformation, see Import and Export Settings Wizard.

2.     DuringSetup

In-Process Host

To make advanced customizationsto the IDE, you need to create an in-process host. Use an in-process host togenerate code in response to user events. You can also modify the appearanceand behavior of the project creation wizard, the visual designer, IDE menus, andwindows such as Project Explorer. For more information,see Creating In-Process Hosts.

File Paths

Visual Studio Tools forApplications uses registry settings to locate and save files throughout theadd-in development process. You can use these settings to provide paths forproject and item templates, default settings files, and default file storagelocations. For more information, see Registering the HostApplication.
