What idea do you have?

Before all, this addition seems like issue #576, but it isn't. Instead of replacing the taskbar icon with the user's chosen icon, without a way to disable it, this suggestion instead proposes something different:

A toggle. It would go under the selection for the icon. Enabling this would replace the Bloxstrapper icon with whatever icon has been selected from the drop-down menu (or with any custom *.icos which have been provided). It could look something like this incorporated into the UI: taskbaricontoggle Like this in the Desktop: desktopicontoggle Like this in the Start Menu: startmenuicontoggle And like this in the taskbar: taskbariconchange

Why should this be added?

Consistency. If someone selects an icon to use in the bootstrapper, it should also match the icon in the Desktop, Start Menu and taskbar. And, if the user wants to keep the default Bloxstrapper icon in those locations, they can choose to do so using the toggle.

Reasonable idea, I can take a look into this being a possibility. I won't change it for the Bloxstrap Menu shortcut though, only the Play Roblox shortcut.

@pizzaboxer I observed other software that has more than 1 icon inside their exe. For example, Brave has lots of icons inside their exe.

With how Bloxstrap is planned to work, I'm going to make it so people can have more control over the created shortcuts.

I can't embed the icons as native Win32 resources (which would've allowed you to easily pick it out from the Windows icon picker) without some serious downsides, so I'll just make it that you can choose to export the icons from a folder, where you can then edit the shortcut icon to use.
