New/Custom App icons

[unitycoder]

TODO

• Customizable icon (loads from file)
• OR few icons to select from (builtin)
• settings field to toggle this feature or to select builtin icon

There's pull request for app icon:
#126

https://github.com/LTMX/UnityLauncherPro/blob/master/UnityLauncherPro/Images/icon.png

I wont easily merge icon changes (due to already being used to that simple box icon, which was just a temporary icon),
use this issue to collect icon ideas and comment on them.

And if there are many different ideas,
Probably it should be customizable at runtime (if thats possible in wpf app),
or app could include few icons to choose from in settings (easier, since icon file is the inside app).

current icon file is at

I can also make svg files if needed ;)

thanks! lets collect those ideas here, personally i'd prefer something that looks similar to unity style,
without breaking any TM of course.

Consider also that the task bar icon should look sharp,

Not sure if there is also different look or size in Win11 icons?

(For anyone who would like to create custom icons)
Here is a good tutorial so .ico files support different sizes : https://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Windows-Icon

You can also convert your .png file to an .ico using this website : https://redketchup.io/icon-converter
Just make sure to change the format from BMP to PNG, and select all sizes from 16x to 256x (512x is never used by Windows)

also to add as a workaround for now, can set custom icon to exe (from exe properties)

I'm personally using an color-inverted version of the unity hub icon.

Just a few more ULP Icons I just made

[unitycoder]

that last one looks pretty nice for me at least!

once i have customizable icon feature (or something where user can pick icon from few included ones),
then definitely can add those.

unity china hub icon is much worse : )

Wow, I had no idea they changed their logos depending on the location ^^
Yeah, pretty strange Logo

I'm also voting for the last one!

in that commit, added check for icon.ico file in the same folder as exe,
if icon file exists, its used as app/window and tray icon.
