Quite possible go to live 8 instalation folder, get the icons from the icons folder, redirect short cuts to them, fixed.

Redirect? Could you elaborate on that?

I tried to get rid of that ugly blue square with the word inside, but that does not seem to work unless you use a ressource hacker.

Dont try to change the .exe icon. Create a shortcut, then right click on it>properties>change icon and select the other one.

you need a .ico file in Windows.

it can be an executable (.exe) too... but then the icon has to be part of the executable package.

I guess that does not change the icon which sits in my taskbar - because it is so small the font looks very ugly, and I dont't like this blue colour.

Anyway, thanks for the help.

I fused the original Live 9 Suite icon with Bayleys template;

Same grey gradient and white logo as the original. Bayleys design. You can convert to Win/OSX/Linux icons at http://iconverticons.com/online/
