Hi, as far as i know it's not possible to change the icon reliably without restarting Windows explorer. So this might just be a limitation of the Windows 11 launcher.

chungchungdev commented 1 year ago

If coding cannot solve the problem at the moment, changing the design could do the trick. e.g.

select a color that is readable in both light and dark theme (like the Everything icon)
add complementary color border or background to the icon (like Logitech g hub icon)

Thanks for the suggestions. I took them into account in the 1.0.0 release. You can now select out of three icon choices (dark, light and a blue search icon).
