Relayer: it looks more pixelated than the Duke Nukem 3D icon right below it, so that would - at least on this machine - be a measure of how old/bad it is.

Slime, no they're not, they're just not commonly displayed at high-res.

What can I say. The icon is fine, it's the way your comp handles it that seems to be the problem.

Looks right at home here and compliments the others very nicely.

woah, that is strange... mine doesn't look like that at all, no pixellation. As far as the design of the icon... please, please don't change it! It's become just that: an icon.

We have a higher-res version of the same icon that's in full color for winXP. The mac version is already full color, so that's why the mac version looks fine.
The new windows icon will be in the next updater update, which may be at the end of this week or next week.
The icon is the same, just higher res, higher bit-depth, and full alpha so the outline of it doesn't look so jagged.

Is this the old one or the new one?

looks like the new one but without a full alpha channel, hence the jagged edge. (or my browser didn't render it properly)

I made an absolutely awesome transparent aqua style VO icon a while back, but yeah it would get replaced every time I ran the updater anyway. Its on my iMac in Australia though. Maybe i'll put it up when I get home so you can all see what you are all missing out on...

If the devs are actually considering design submissions for a more modern icon, i'll be happy to lend my efforts. Haha.

Which I fully support by the way... At least stop the uploader replacing it, so we can include it in our skins etc.

ah, thanks for clearing that up, Ray. I look forward to the higher-res version =)

It looks like you'll need to force Windows to show the new icon instead of the old one, though. Right-click on the shortcut and select 'Properties'. In the 'Shortcut' tab, press the 'Change Icon...' button and just press 'OK' in the dialog that pops up.
You'll need to do that for all your shortcuts (including in the Start menu and in the quick launch button in the taskbar.

I think that it looks fine!

Maybe you need a mac.. :p
