Thank you for the very fast answer; I have changed the setting and now it works. The strange matter is that prevuiosly I have uploaded several B&W photos and never I got this change from Colour to Grayscale.

I have upoaded a B/W photo in AP and I got the message that it was assigned a Grayscale D50. Therefore it is not possible to apply any colour as I wanted. I enclose a screen-shot to show as it is.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL; it appears as a dream!

Thank you for the screen-shot; the basic issue is not concerned about the icon colours (dark or milk), but an evident difference to show when is ON or OFF; now they have almost the same colour and it is rather difficult to understand.

I strongly hope so.

I do not understand; the title of this topic is File Icons on Windows 7. I also was supponing that Affinity Icons and Affinity Thumbnails have the same meaning. Therefore this should be the right forum.

I am not from Serif; I am just a user that suffers to understand which icons are ON or OFF on both AP & AD.

It has always been like that since the very beginning; I enclose the screen-shot to show as it is. I do not know anymore what to do.

Over 2 years have elapsed since this post and the problem is still unsolved; the icons are rather small due to tha lack of space and this can be reasonable, butthere is no reason at all why we must make efforts with the eyes to perceive whether the icons are active or not (take the "Snapping" icon as an example); it appears that mostly of the Affinity users are complaining by this obviuos fact.

I already installed since over a month all the files you mentioned (i.e. the same as in AD are in the Common Folder), but still I cannot see the file image (only the file name and the affinity logos appear). I have both AD & AP with the official release (no more Beta).

The biggest difficulty I have enountered since the very beginning with both AD & AP is due that it is really difficult to distinguish what it is active and what it is not. The two colours "black" and "gray black" are almost similar and require each time an effort to appreciate which icon is ON. I do not understand why it is required such affort that I believe you could solve rather easily. You should add this issue in your roadmap.

I attach a screen-shot with the list of files I have now, after the last AP 43 release. As you can see they are all there. To be sure, I have also restarted the PC, but nothing has changed at all.

Windows 7

I work with Windows 7 and I already have in affinity > Common all the files you mentioned, but still I see only the Affinity Logo and the file name.

The link you have attached seems to be for Visual Studio 2015 (I do not know what it is for); what I can do with it?
