X Icon Changer Old Version

[Yi Pressimone]

Irecently started using Xcode 4.2 and the iOS 5 simulator. When I update an older version of my app pre-installed in the simulator, it updates the app just fine but the app icon is not updated. Even with cleaning and building the app ahead of time (sometimes a couple of times) this seems to be the case. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I've had this problem for a while and cleaning the project didn't work either. I finally found a trick to do this. It works at least in iOS 6, I'm not sure in previous versions. The trick is to simply move the app to a folder. The moment you move it there it should display the new icon, and then you can move it out again.

I ran into a similar problem after renaming the app and adding the Icon files category as described in one of the other answers. No icon would show up in either simulator or device. Tried a clean build as well as restarting simulator and Xcode, no success

The solution for me was to drag the icons from my Resources to the two empty wells under App Icons located under Targets -> Summary. After that my icons showed up in both simulator and device. Im running Xcode 4.3.1

We've customized our icons to add the last two digits of the version number. This helps to tell them apart in the taskbar, desktop shortcuts, etc. (especially since 14-16 were so similar). However, it would be really helpful if we could have the version number appear in the "R" application icon also (in the top left, when Revit's running). This would be helpful when switching back and forth between versions.

Well besides the 2017 and 2018 icon looking exactly the same. Why cannot we have each version its only color? Typically I have a few versions open and would be nice to be able to know what version is what only from its color

There is no association between the icon graphics and the Revit version. They are more or less distinquishable if they sit beside each other, but it is impossible looking at an isolated icon to tell what Revit version it starts.

As an option it can be one digit only. Keep the same icon design (the R letter and the background color) for a decade. And put the version number in the top left corner for the sequential year in the decade (i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.). Next decade change the icon design and start numbers with 0.

I've just realized that numbers for icons are not acceptable. Because all Revit files in the system will appear with icon displaying the last-installed Revit version, let's say 18. But every file can be done with a various Revit version (i.e. 15) and displaying the number 18 for it will confuse users.

Could we have the application icon on new releases stamped with the year so it's easier to identify on our desktop, so we know if that R icon we about to click will start Revit 2017, Revit 2018 or what-have-you?

Not disagreeing, it would be nice. I'd just like to ensure some user support for when the inevitable "Why did you waste time on that instead of ____" arguments start flying afterwards. It may be a different department but it's all the same budget.

You're right. But, since we know Autodesk has to do MUCH more important improvements, right-click the icon, select properties, and choose yourself another icon... It might take you a search on your computer to find where you have any "*.ico" files (will tame me some time, anyway), but you can give the older versions the picture of your granny...? Or your beloved one, with a new pic every year?

I suggest adding the version number to the Revit Windows icon. With versions being put out so quickly, we have many project in each version of Revit from the past couple years and we do not always upgrade to the latest version. The icons on the Windows taskbar all look the same from Revit 2017, 2018, and 2019. This would cause less confusion in opening projects in the appropriate version of the software.

I made these a while ago (as you can tell from the years). It wasn't that hard, but it was time consuming with all of the conversions between file types and everything. I can't believe no one's made a simple pack of these to download.

I really Like this idea! We have multiple versions of ACA, Navis and Revit on our machines. My users sometimes get confused and we have to quickly cancel an upgrade. This would be helpful, but I'm sure mistakes will still happen.

I changed the cart icon I had on my website because the bag icon did not fit. Since changing it to an actual cart logo on the mobile version of my website the cart icon became miniature. Its barely visible and I do not want it to confuse my customers. Attached is pictures as well as my website information.

I recently read an article on howtogeek.com about customizing the win7 taskbar. It describes how to change the icon that a shortcut points to to make your taskbar nice and pretty. This reminded of this idea exchange post about including the LV version number in the icon to easily tell the versions apart.

But there's a problem - the shortcut icon is only used when the taskbar buttons are "combined" into one button with the label hidden. If the label is not hidden, windows 7 uses the icon from the executable. So if you use "always combine" mode, you're good to go.... except you can't tell what version a VI is loaded in from its window, and the different peek views use a 16x16 version of the executable's icon as well: here are the taskbar buttons with text (left image, bottom is "small icons") and without text (right image). LV2009 on left of each pair, LV2010 is on the right.

So what are we to do? Well I found an application that can replace an .exe's built-in icon: Resource Hacker, Please understand that this may involve unforeseen risks to your installation and computer and try it at your own peril. I took my icon and replaced it in labview.exe (after backing up!) and it works great! I was so excited I had to share.

I personally went with just using a Windows shortcut, pinning the shortcut to the taskbar will result in the new icon displayed with no loss of functionality in terms of the right click menu. For those that only use the default Windows 7 task bar (always combine, hide labels) this is more than sufficient!

Anolist has a command-line interface, so I'm thinking of making a batch script or LV exe that will do this for me. Now that I have my custom icons on one computer, I want it on all of them, and of course every time LV is installed or patched it has a fresh Labview.exe with factory icons. Stay tuned.

I know it violates the nice aesthetics of the NI LabVIEW icon, but I find putting the number on the icon in place of the + is much easier to see. Here's my Windows 7 LabVIEW 2010 icon (I use the "shortcut" trick, haven't tried putting it directly into the .exe).

Everything works perfectly. However, I just noticed that on Mobile version, on the Wishlist Page, the Cart icon still remained (please see attached). Would you please give me the necessary CSS to change the Cart icon into the Bag icon?

2) Yes, I knew about the different variations of Hover on product that exist in Theme Settings. However, my issue here is that I want for Desktop the Quick variation, but I do not like how this variation looks on Mobile (as per the attachment uploaded in my first message). For Mobile I want the Standard variation.

How can I have the Quick variation for Desktop and the Standard variation for Mobile?

Wishlist icon is shown only on responsive screens. It is not effective to add it to global CSS, you will need it in tablet or mobile or via media queries.

f120 is our theme icon from Woodmart-font.

The following are examples of the database icons in Version 16 and above as well as in previous versions:

If you hold your mouse over the new icon - the engine name will appear:

I just got a new PC for work. I installed the latest Acrobat Reader DC version. Strangely, the icon of pdf files, whether they're stored on my machine, network drive, or in an email attachment, appear as the old Acrobat Reader icon, i.e. red graphic on white background, whereas Acrobat DC has black background icon.

I have to have multiple JMP versions installed at the same time, and from time to time I get confused which version I'm currently running. I can always check it from About menu or create an addin which will tell me the version + product, but I would rather use icons for that.

I agree with making this a built-in option, but FYI my current solution is to make a custom icon file (save a 32x32 pixel .png file and change extension to .ico) and then reference that file in the dialog box you showed.

We appreciate you submitting this idea, but we do not plan to pursue this at this time. I'm changing the status to Not Planned for Now, although I will update this wish if we revisit this request in a future release.

If I have a Font Awesome icon from the component in my screen with other OutSystems icons, all outsystems icon will assume the library from the component. If the Outsystems icon content does not exist in the component library it won't render (e.g. the sign-out lcon).

You are right Clarisse, your idea is more robust than mine. This plugin should be upgraded to use only fas as default class, since the fa prefix has been deprecated in version 5. The new default is the fas solid style and the fab style for brands. The class far fal fad it's only for FAwesome5 Premium Users

Hello Pedro!

Well, I was using OutSystems icons as my main source and then the component when I wanted an extra. Not the other way around.

Could Carlos input (previous comment) be a solution for this case, allowing both widgets to co-exist?

"This plugin should be upgraded to use only fas as default class, since the fa prefix has been deprecated in version 5. The new default is the fas solid style and the fab style for brands. (...)"

Otherwise I would have to replace all my OutSystems Icons with the component... and in service studio the component does not have a preview of the icon, which outsystems has and it's nice to have (example in the image below).
