VLC player icon

[windows_cannot]

It's the perfect media player, plays everything without any issues; I would junk all my other players and use VLC exclusively if the icon wasn't so ugly. Why does the icon have to be so ugly and can I change it? BTW I'm either online or working 8-10 hours a day, and after that much time looking at a desktop, and an ugly icon really starts to look ugly. I will install a media player based not on what it does, but what its icon looks like.

Assuming you're on windows, you can change the icon to anything you like. Right click on the shortcut and click the button that says "Change icon". You can browse executable files or ico files and the icon on your desktop will change to match. When you run VLC with that icon, that's the icon that is displayed on your taskbar, as well. I imagine Mac or Linux are similar.

Another solution would be good for your problem if a VLC icon editor would be available...
