Vista icon problem still resides in 0.3.2

[klontje]

Hi,

Just upgraded to 0.3.2 and in the changelog it tells that the Vista icon is fixed. This in fact is not entirely true. There is still a difference between the icon in sabnzbd.exe and sabnzbd-console.exe. I personally think the console version is the best one. It hasn't got any rough edges like the sabnzbd.exe does.

Not on my Vista64 system. The icons look fine to me.
No difference between sabnzbd.exe and sabnzbd-console.exe either.

Could you send a screenshot to [email protected] ?

Hi,

I'm also running x64 Vista and icons differ. send you an email with 2 screenshots and a comparison jpg.

Must be an Aqua thing. I don't see the difference on my VMWare-ed Vista64.
The exe files are generated with exactly the same Icon file, so I cannot think of a single reason why they would be different.
So it's either a quirk of Vista or of the program generator PY2EXE we use.

Our GUI man will have a look at it, but don't expect us to lose much sleep over it

So it's either a quirk of Vista or of the program generator PY2EXE we use.

As I've said elsewhere, it might be both. I've heard reports that if you look at the actual icon we're using right now it scales properly, and if you manually associate that icon with the exe in Vista it scales properly, but if you let py2exe do it it breaks.

I have no idea how to fix this unless we start manually associating the icon for builds.

Alright, I've uploaded yet another icon, this time courtesy of FactorMystic of Something Awful.

Try manually associating it with the exe in Vista and tell me what you see. If it works, then we at least know Vista likes it for real. Then it's just an issue of running it through py2exe and seeing if it gets mangled.
