Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Both the operator and pilot GUIs get the same default app icons in the taskbar/dock. It's annoying to not be able to tell which GUI you're opening (on the competition laptop at least).

Describe the solution you'd like

Set custom icons so we can tell them apart.

Additional context

This might help?.

Contributor guide

Research direction
In the PyQt5 GUI files (likely operator.py and pilot.py), import QIcon and set a custom icon using setWindowIcon(QIcon('path/to/icon.png')). Use the StackOverflow link provided for reference. Ensure the icon file is included in the repository.
