<xy> - use CFI (with an old version of XY as icon source)

Doesn't work here on Win 10 Pro. I haven't done (another) restart yet, though.

- <xy> would anyone just have the old icon to place somewhere and use w/o the need to reference an old xy.exe?

- taskbar didn't work with that sequence (or was the <xy> step a prerequisite?
I must have jinxed this with my earlier post, after a windows update and restart the taskbar icon was suddenly the new one :roll:

The taskbar is a bit stubborn sometimes. It will eventually behave.

Old icon attached.

Indeed, I can confirm that. Had to play with pin/unpin first really.

Sorry if it's obvious, but I can't seem to find the "new dialog" referenced in the release notes for choosing the app icon... where is this new dialog?

Oh, I forgot to explain that to the world. Wait... (or look into the change log).

+++ App Icon. Old. In case you feel an unbearably strong emotional attachment to the old
icon, you can either go to your shrink or switch back to the old icon through a
handy little dialogue.
Seriously ? These remarks are completely uncalled for. Sorry, final straw for me. XY uninstalled and moved over to Directory Opus for good now. If you designed this new look yourself, stop. If you paid for it, get a refund and possibly use it for counseling on how to treat and work with paying customers.

Alright, bye. I removed you. I don't want anyone on the forum going nuts again and delete all his posts. :whistle:

Just to voice another opinion I much prefer the old icon and appreciate the option to revert it :)

It's good to have a refresh occasionally but the new icon kind of made me think of a tabloid news site or something! The program itself though is as essential as always :tup: :appl:

So I decided to bite the bullet and update to 23.70 so I could see the new logo in action. My original comment stands. I don't like it.

I see in the release notes that by typing "appicon;" in the address bar and pressing "enter" XY will bring up a dialog to reinstate the old logo. However, when I do as told, XY throws this error:
Image

So obviously I'm missing something. Do I need to invoke "appicon;" from a particular directory? Do I need to have the old logo (which Don provided a few posts ago) somewhere?
I'm using the no-install version should that make any difference.

Thanks.

Instead of D:\Utilities\XYplorer\appicon; try just appicon; or, even better, ::appicon;.

Hi phred, I get the same error message when I don't have a semi colon,";" after "appicon", but it works when it's there.

All I'm typing in is "appicon;" with the semicolon and with no path. However, if I try your second suggestion, "::appicon;" it works.
Thank you.
