I have 2 MLO files: one for work and one for everything I do outside of work.

The one for everything outside of work, has colour icons for Goals, Inbox etc.  It looks great.

The work file only has black and while icons for the same things.  I tried changing these to colour, but the colour icons aren't there.

I'm using Windows 10.

What gives?

hi
the grey icons are the default for mlo v5.
the color icons come from mlo v4.

Here is a solution. Before trying please make a backup of your ML files.
The idea is to copy the tasks from the black-icons-profile to the profile with color icons.

step 1. Run MLO. Go to Tools/Options/Behaviour --> Check Allow Multiple Instances.
thus you'll be able to run 2 mlo instances at the same time.
step 2. Open the ML file with color icons and save it to "new Work profile with color icons.ml".
step 3. Delete all tasks from it.
step 4. Open the ML file with gray icons. Ctrl+A to select all tasks. Copy them.
step. 5. Paste the task to "new Work profile with color icons.ml".

That's it. Continue to use "new Work profile with color icons.ml" instead of the old work profile with grey icons.

I've just looked and it's not possible to extract the icons from the MLO.exe file I can't find them stored anywhere separately.  It would be really good if Andrey could make the old icons available in a zip file on the MLO website (or on the icons thread on the MyLifeOrganized forum), so people could load them in if they want them.

How about it Andrey?
