New icons for the associated files (*.pb,*.pbi)

I think it would be cool that PB's associated files to have the new PB icon... The old association icons don't look that nice (seem like PB 3.94's).

Well, the 3D look does not really look good in 16x16. It just looks like a blurred *something*.
So we decided to keep the old look for the small icon display.

@InfoByte3, if you made a couple of candidates and submitted them for consideration, I'm sure they'd take a look.

I can try to do that

. Not the best artist, but I can try. Anyway 16*16 is pretty small

but workable though.

What about this one? Am I really limited to 16*16? I've seen that Acrobat Reader has 32*32 icons associated with .pdf files

.

The associated icon must contain the icon in both 16*16 and 32*32. The size is selected automatically by the file explorer depending on the view mode (list view/icons/etc).

Great! Thx for the tip... I'm on it now.

And preferably also a 48*48 icon, all of these in BOTH 256 colours and 32-bit colours. (And 16-bit.) Of course, it's probably a bit too much work, but it should at least be in 16*16 and 32*32 and in a lower bit-depth than 32 to work on older versions of Windows than XP.

Great! I'll clean up a bit the 3D one just to make it look good on both 16*16 and 32*32 versions. It's pixel-work but I like it ^^.

Et voila! I've cleaned it to assure it looks good in 16*16 and now it contains:
- 16*16 - 32 Bit
- 32*32 - 32 Bit
- 48*48 - 32 Bit
- 16*16 - 256 Colours
- 32*32 - 256 Colours
- 48*48 - 256 Colours
