The icon doesn't display properly if you're running with 16-bit color (it shows as mostly black) so I think it is inappropriate to use it as the default. Ah, ok. Lacking any graphic design skills or any suitable icon editing programs, I'll leave well alone. If anyone wants to make an icon file including suitable formats for both high and low sizes and colour depths, I'll seriously consider adding it to setup.

IIRC, Rob rejected a similar but less-artistic icon submission of mine on exe-size grounds, but then as now that seemed to me to be a false economy. -- Gary R.

Do you mean for the batch file?

At the very least this needs to be packaged with the lower-resolution and lower-color icons before we can use it. Personally, I'm not even sure I like the icon, but that's very subjective.
