Why is the Live 12 icon the same color as Live 11 ?

I still like to use L 11, it can get confusing. Thoughts ?

honestly, it’s the same way with almost every other piece of software, so I guess I’m used to not relying on the icons themselves. I have both installed, and they’re both pinned to my taskbar. I just put 12 where 11 used to be and dragged 11 over to the other side so I don’t get them mixed up.

Changing the icon is a valid option.

Mostly other pieces of software are backwards compatible... Else I woulnd't keep Live 11 on my computer

My Live 11 shortcut is in the taskbar and 12 shortcut is on the desktop.

The icons are different colors for me. 11 is a pale blue, while 12 has a lilac tinge to it.
