Hello, I normally do not use Windows, but for some recent work, I needed that environment. I was surprised that the Vim Windows icon looks quite dated, so I took a few minutes to make a new one.
"vimicon.png" shows the before and after. In modern Windows, the old 32x32 4-bit icon was being stretched to 48x48, and looking a bit rough in the process. The new icon (vim4.ico) can be dropped into the source at src/vim.ico. It has the following resources: - 16x16 4bpp (from the original) - 32x32 4bpp (from the original) - 16x16 8bpp (from the Mac resource) - 32x32 8bpp (from the Mac resource) - 128x128 32bpp (from the Mac resource) - 48x48 32bpp (resampled from the 128) - 32x32 32bpp (resampled from the 128) - 16x16 32bpp (recoloured from 4bpp version) This icon looks much better in modern Windows, and simply reuses artwork already available for the Mac build. The last icon is derivative work by me, using the outlines of the original 16x16 icon and coloured to the 32bpp icon. Is there any chance of making it into the official build?
