Trevor, You're right and there's not much you can do about it. You can't change a 16-color icon to a 256 color one inside of the executable, and Rev doesn't support anything other than 16 colors for icons. You can create a shortcut to the app that has 256 color icons, but that only changes what the user may see *on disk*; it doesn't have anything to do with the alt-tab display. The only thing I can suggest is perhaps to go with a very simple icon that uses the 16 colors to their best and not to dither down a 256 color image (if you have the luxury of creating a new icon). I know you've already voted for this on Bugzilla; anyone else want to add their votes? (Bug #730).
