Hello list. I was searching a way how to change the default Taskbar icon for pidgin (windows 7), because I do not like the pidgeon at all. Just before I had a chance to ask at this mailing list, I found a solution. So I will post it here, so others could possibly use it as well.
First I thought that it will be needed to use some EXE resource editor to replace icon in exe file. This didn't work. Later I even thought that I'll have to recompile pidgin for windows, to replace the icon. Yet the solution is rather pretty simple. Go to pidgin directory, and create a shortcut of the pidgin.exe file. Then go to the shortcut properties and change the icon of the shortcut to any file you like. Finally start piding using that shortcut, instead of starting the exe file directly. You can even copy the shortcut to your startup folder so pidgin starts with windows, and has the taskbar icon of your choice! :-) I'm happy with my custom icon now. That's all.
