Program icon, and especially - taskbar icon both seems to be designed for Windows XP only (hi colors + transparency). That makes them look sinfully ugly in Windows 2000, which only supports 16-color icons for taskbar and no transparency for any icons.
I understand that changing icons is less important than fixing other bugs and adding new features. :) So, trying to help, I spent some time and fixed the icons:
- Here is icon set modified to look nice in every other Win, besides XP: icons.zip
- Here is a sample: sample.png
zip contains:
- feedreader_main.ico - main program file icons. All original icons, plus, correct downsampled 16x16-256, 32x32-256 and 16x16-16 icons, fixed by hand pixel-by-pixel, so they look really nice now.
- feedreader_taskbar_w2k.ico, feedreader_taskbar_highlight.ico - default/"new items" versions of icon to be used for taskbar area.
Let me know if you need any further help with those icons.
