[Feature request] Ability to change tray & taskbar icon

[ghost]

vencord's icon looks pretty out of place and jarring next to windows' consistent white icons, i'd love if this was able to be changed

[Vendicated]

i don't understand this request. It does not look out of place in the slightest.

What "consistent white icons"?

[Vendicated]

it does not stand out compared to the other icons 🤷🏻‍♂️

[voytxt]

the pixelation does look a bit weird to be honest

[Vendicated]

lol why does it look so bad for you

[ghost]

probably monitor scaling, i have the same issue

[voytxt]

it looks exactly the same as the screenshot you sent

Did you see your own screenshot? @Vendicated

Anyway, the ability to change the icon would be great.

[Vendicated]

yes i saw my own screenshot. it does not stand out, it fits right in. it just scales poorly and thus looks weird

we do plan to fix the scaling issue, but it's not that easy because it's pixel art. the icon will likely have to be remade in specific dimensions for the smaller icons. feel free to contribute

no there won't be the ability to change the icon. you can build from source to change icons

Hello, I have resized the current Vesktop icon to a 64px one. Sadly, although the icon does look more minimalistic, I had to remove Oneko from it because it wouldn't fit anymore. There are 2 variants, with and without the inner shadow. Hope this might be of help!

Sad :(

What is the philosophy behind the logo being pixel art? And does it have to be pixel art, or can it be something more smooth? Also, is it just the letters VC from [V]en[c]ord? I assume cord comes from discord, and ven comes from your username Vendicated? Are you open to a drastic change, away from the letters VC, towards something symbolic?

I'm not promising anything, but if there is a good idea I like, I don't mind making a logo.

No particular reason, that's just how it was made

correct. it is named after my old name 'Ven'. Vencord was initially a running gag, the first mentions of a hypothetical 'vencord' were already made years before the project was started. then later i started the project for the meme

you should come discuss this in the development channel in our discord community! it's unlikely that the logo will be changed unless the majority agrees and most users prefer it. and we would have to discuss the exact details (cc @lewisakura)

on this note, the VC logo is also the general mod logo, so it would need to be agnostic between the desktop client and the mod itself, if a new one was to be made. but yes, please come and join our discord community, open a modmail and request access to the dev channels and we can discuss this further!
