Notepad3: Another new icon for upcoming Notepad3?

[Hexaae]

I've found this https://www.freepik.com/free-vector/blue-notepad-icon-illustration_721994.htm which seems copyright free.
Here is how it looks (after conversion and replacing the icons with a resource editor, for testing):

Nice icon, but I vote against the change of the current icon of Notepad3. ! 😉

[Hexaae]

Current is identical to std Notepad with a different color. It's own icon would be better IMHO.
Minimized on toolbar is hard to distinguish.

Nice icon - design decisions are done by @rizonesoft - thanx for the suggestion and offering your icon design :+1:

[RaiKoHoff]

Feel free to get a visual impression of the alternate icon : _5.19.927.2655_BETA_newico
(For beta channel access, see: #1129)

[Hexaae]

Was it implemented or discarded?

[RaiKoHoff]

The version _5.19.927.2655_BETA_newico is only an experimental version, just to get a visual impression of the change - decision is in discussion ...

Sure, no prob

I'm fairly neutral towards the new icon. Both the old and the new are good.

One thing I'd like however is a little more whitespace around the new icon in the 'About' dialogue, more like how the old icon is placed.

This is probably already on the to-do list, but if the new icon is to be implemented, it also needs to appear on the application's taskbar button.

I can modify the icon image, but I think it would be a better idea to set xy coords for the image in the About code....

Feel free to review dev beta version _5.19.930.2656_BETA

Build 2565: placement of icon in 'About' dialogue looks good.

All right then! :)
