Orange systray icon is ugly

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install version 1.1 of PeerBlock.
2. The systray icon which used to be blue, now is orange-ish
3.

I liked it when it was blue.

this is not quite a bug  :))

The orange (supposed to be "yellow"...) icon is meant to warn you that you 
currently have HTTP Allowed.  This is essentially a slight security hole you've 
opened in your defenses, and was asked for by many people who'd try to 
temporarily Allow HTTP and then forget to Block HTTP again later.

There IS a way to bring back the blue icon though, even if you prefer to leave 
HTTP Allowed all the time:

1.  Exit PeerBlock
2.  Edit C:\Program Files\PeerBlock\peerblock.conf with notepad
3.  Find the line that says 
<WarningIconForHttpAllow>yes</WarningIconForHttpAllow>
4.  Change the "yes" to a "no"
5.  Save the file
6.  Start PeerBlock

Will mark this bug as "invalid" in order to close it, once the initial rush of 
PeerBlock 1.1 downloads subsides.  That way hopefully anyone else who searches 
for the issue will come across this one since it'll still be open.
