Odd why they are not using the product icon that comes with SU - and the one that's been familiar to SU for years.

I have both SketchUp 7 and SketchUp 8 on my Windows toolbar - but they have the same icon.

Has anyone created a good icon I could use for SU 8, to differentiate it from SU 7?

I could easily change the icon on the toolbar, but do they still have programs which change the icon in the .EXE?

i made a simple mod to the regular icon for version 7.. it's easy to change on macs but i'm not sure how to do it on windows..

Any change to the EXE would be lost at the next maintanance release. In addition some firewalls or anti-virus programs will detect a change in the executable file's checksum.

It is easy to change a shortcut (.lnk file,) to use any icon you choose. Right click the shortcut, choose "Properties" from the context menu, and click the "Change Icon..." button. Then browse to an custom .ico file, or a .dll file (that has internel icons.)
