Please confirm these before moving forward.

• I have searched for my feature proposal and have not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved/discarded issue.
• This proposal is a completely new feature. If you want to suggest an improvement or an enhancement, please use this template.

Describe the new feature

I do not dislike the icon change, but Uniget' old icon with the grey gradient backdrop just fits with my theme so much better. Can we have a choice to which icon we use? At least for the taskbar icon?

Describe how this new feature could help users

I have to chime in, the new icon is awful. Maybe they had to change the icon because of the acquisition or someone decided they have to stand out for branding or something, but still the new icon is an eyesore. Mono color icons always fit better in modern taskbars. Looks like they also want to support other operating system and on those platforms too, mono color icons are even more of a 'standard'.

Csaba (@mihalycsaba) Oh wow. I don't tune in often and did no even realize that it was acquired by a new entity.

For the taskbar icon, one small adjustment we're looking into is removing the white border, and make it larger. Here's what it looks like on my machine with the white border, and I agree there's something that can be done to improve it:

The new tray icon doesn't have that white border and looks much better:

For the tray icon specifically, we'll look into adding an option to use the old icon for those that preferred it. However, for the taskbar, it's more difficult to add a runtime option.

yeah, to look more like the tray icon

• with resource hacker the icon can be changed but then unigetui throws a corrupt or missing files error

Here's an example of what this looks like in a dark theme with small taskbar icons. The icon in both the taskbar and the app itself now looks much worse.

we won?

I thought the old icon was MUCH better. The new 1 reminds me of disk partitioning software or a DB client app.
Please allow us an option.

Thank you.

For the taskbar, many apps (Discord, Beeper, etc) can use whichever icon is set for the start menu shortcut as its taskbar icon. Can you look into supporting that behaviour and let user customize the icons themselves? And yes, I agree that removing the white border across your product lineup might be the way to go.

Bring back the old icons; the new design is heinous. The old system tray icon being all-white had that native Windows system tray icon feel to it. And the older icon taskbar icon was much cleaner and modern-looking. This is actively a step back for the app.
