We are nearing Release MM5 should be slightly different than MM4.

Assign to me if you have to much to work on.

I'd suggest using the MM8 icon, but having it appear white on a transparent background so that it appears similarly to the various Win10 default icons that are white on the default blue background.

Assigning to Jiri for feedback.

We already use Good Icon for Windows Tile, but EXE icon is still old one.

If we have SVG or AI Icon I can easily make whatever needed.

Petr, can you use the MM8 icon, so that we'll see how well it works?

Also in relation to this issue, the icon currently appears blurry in the taskbar.

Fixed. Also i've used #1010FF as background color as it cannot be 'transparent' (do not know why).

Reopen Please Triage

Using #1010FF is too bright I would use more calmer color like #0D545D (bug15061_2.jpg)

Attached Image how other apps uses it Icon colors (bug15061_3)

Also there are missing resolution and 128x128 looks bit miss aligned from center? (bug15061_3)

Changed background color for start icon. Also we've decided to revert exe icon to MM4 version as white on transaparent can be problematic in Explorer or exe properties dialog (where this kind of icon is 'invisible').

As talked offline I sent Petr and Rusty new redesigned Application icon offline.

AI, SVG, EPS, PSD, ICO uploaded to FTP under this bug for easier future edits and inclusion into SVN if accepted.

Uploaded test examples of Icon in windows environment, both explorer and task bar and comparing it to other modern icons including MM4 one and it can be easily seen even in 16x16 on white background.

New icon can be scaled to higher resolution losslessly.

I have no objections to giving it a try to see what it looks like.

Reopen:

1. Background Color doesn't look good (Created multiple sample background colors and codes using new icon)

2. Start icon Reverted to MM4 One not newest (assign to Petr for fix)

NOTE: New Icon in Explorer/Taskbar/Tray looks great (at least for me)

Verified 2250

Icon Looks nice and even white text on Tile is clear to read.
