Perhaps a very minor thing but here's the ugly P-R 3.6 icon.

Maybe this has long since been ignored. Either that or I'm the only person 
seeing this. Anyway, posting this because I think there needs to be a 
changed icon when 3.7 is finalized since there could be confusion about 
which is which if both are installed.

Leaving this ugly 3.6 icon as-is helps me know which to click on but maybe 
it shouldn't have the gray and black jaggy encircling it, should it...? I 
never paid much attention to it until all my other icons were getting clean 
appearances.

Note that this is more about the old 3.6 icon, not the beta... well, maybe 
it is about the similarity of the two also.

Thanks for looking.

Bob

Now that you mention this... I had not really noticed. However, I agree with 
you that 3.7 should have a different icon. Only a color difference would be 
enough.

Oh thank you !!!
Now I know why I wasn't sleeping well for the 6 or 7 past years.
I was an innocent victim of TUPRYLS (The Ugly PovRaY Logo Syndrom) ;-).

P.S. BTW I agree with  TdG : a different color would be enough together with 
an enhanced transparency mask

Heh-heh. Sleep well.

Don't know why it wasn't changed already, but then maybe this was discussed 
before and the majority of people thought the new 3.7 would be replacing 3.6 
so no need for different icons. 3.7 not being done yet could be a reason, 
too.

I was thinking this might stir up some renewed discussion of it. Still only 
a very minor concern to me, but I know others keep more than one version 
installed at any one time and running POV from the icons as they are now 
could prove hit and miss. Esp. about the soon ready version 3.6.2 with 
identical icon to 3.7 beta.

I think that changing the icon is very secondary, even terciary, in the 
devlopment cycle.

Very easy to change the colour. 64x64 in green.
