Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/issues/315

First of all I want to say that ScreenToGif is an amazing and really useful lignt-weight recording app, I just love it! That being said, I found a little inconvenience. When I search for ScreenToGif in the Start menu, it has a tiny little cutie icon with a smiling screen. But when I pin the app to Start, an ugly icon with S>G in a weird font, different background color and almost no padding appears. I mean I want to have ScreenToGif pinned to my Start, but this really breaks all the work I've put into making my Start a nice place.

Would it be possible to change this icon to the cute one and add some padding so that it would look consistent with the rest of Windows UI? Thanks! 🙂

Well, I don't think that this is ugly. But to each their own..

Edit:
Except maybe for the font in use in "S>G".. 😄

The font selection could be I think objectively better. After all the curvy letters don't fit the whole "edgy"/"boxy" feel of the rest of the application 🙂

I would need help to design a new icon. I'm thinking of getting a new one.

Did you consider using the application's default icon, just giving it transparent background and bigger padding? I don't find anything bad about it.

I'm considering keeping the same base idea (a screen), but using fluent design concepts (shadow, depth).
