If possible, can you mark the VST independent version, such as VST, or change the color icon. I often make mistakes
I don't want to change it to another icon myself
See if the official can change it

If you were willing to do some work, use Paint and change the background color of a copy of one of these.

The PG Music development team should, instead of improving the fundamentals of the program, such as microchords or step-by-step solos, waste its time modifying an icon (!!!), which takes 10 seconds?

If you really are unable to change the icon, you can put one up and one down, or one on the left and one on the right, not complicated. grin

I have a related but different nitpick, actually.

On the Mac, there's an application named "BBM4" that has a different icon (blue instead of gold, and with an electrical plug). Apparently this is invoked invisibly in the background when you use the plugin, which I don't. If you double-click it for chuckles and yucks, nothing happens.

The solution to my problem is, don't do that. Don't double click that icon, try not to look at it, try not to even think about it ever again.

("Doctor, doctor, it hurts when I go like THIS!" / "So, don't go like THIS!")

My nitpick is, it would be more user-friendly if this were tucked away somewhere out of sight, as opposed to side by side with the application. As it is, it looks like something important that I should probably learn about.

If you look at them in just the right light, they switch colors.

If you do, it's in the BB folder for several executable that are called "under the surface", though I imagine you know that.

I actually use "Big Blue" as a desktop folder icon, for my BIAB projects, to distinguish it from the application icon.

I just have to remember to forget I ever saw it somewhere before...

In the taskbar, I often confuse some mistakes, so I hope to make some color adjustments. It doesn't matter on the desktop, the desktop will be replaced, or the name will be returned. But the taskbar is not visible.

I have both the Band-in-a-Box Standalone Plugin and the Band-in-a-Box 64 bit program pinned to the taskbar. The normal icon (to the left) is the plugin and the blue background icon (to the right) is the 64 bit program.

When I open the Band-in-a-Box program both the desktop shortcut icon and the taskbar icon revert to the standard icon. Close the program and both revert to the optional icon.
