XYplorer Beta Club

the latest logo is, I think, perfect - I was starting to think some of the previous versions were aimed at kids! This new one has an air of immediate interest and identity unlike other logos and shows XYplorer to be a modern product - unfortunately these things are important to the success of product sales.

How about XY bean?

Would it be hard work to support ICL too?
Like
IconFile=XYplorer_CTB_Resource.icl /18

    * New app icon, the "Black Orange" (sorry, no better idea).
    + New tweak to load app icon from a stand-alone icon file:
        IconFile=[Filename]
      [Filename] supports full paths, relative (to app path) and
      portable paths. If [Filename] is empty or points to a non-existing
      or invalid icon resource, then the internal default icon is used.
      Note that the icon file should at least contain a 32x32 and a
      16x16 pixels icon, preferably in 32-bit (but 8-bit will work as
      well).
    - Removed tweak IconResource.

Yes (hard).

Or the "BOWIE" = Black-Orange-White Icon Enhancement?

Yes, not bad...

... but please, to whom it may concern: NO discussion about the name of the icon!

Just updated and discovered the customizable icon. Great feature! I always had a little trouble distinguishing XYPlorers running with and without admin priviliges in the taskbar.

Problem solved now. The admin-plorer gets the old icon, the user-plorer the new one.

I think the "BOWIE" looks great, thanks!

does anyone know where i can get the old orange xyplorer icon? i downloaded the new version with the black icon and extracted it over the old version ... but i cannot find a place to download an old version to extract the icon from it :-(

See if my attachment will help.

BTW I search for the old "xyplorer-32bit-256.png" found in the past on the XYplorer - License Lounge.

And I would like to have the old icon in the XYplorer.exe too.

thank you very much Stefan, but i got the old icons from a rather dubious source somewhere on the internet. i attached them to this post. they are in 48x48, 32x32 and 16x16 pixels, but 32x32 looks best in all situations for me.
aahhh, XYplorer looks a lot friendlier again

Exactly, and the old orange icon is included in the package.
