Sir Buvex Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 The current icons of the programs have those strange green - like they were made for green screen and someone missed to key them out to get rounded XD This looks very strange. I hope it get's fixed with the next update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus, I presume that if you have some that you created them somehow.

I scrolled through my app list behind the windows icon and simply dragged the program on my desktop. But I'm not really sure what this has to do with the strange icons... Edit: Ok, maybe it has something to do with the method... In the start menu everything looks ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 You could try the method documented in the FAQ. Perhaps it will work better for you: Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am attaching the files below. You have to store them anywhere on the hard drive (create an icon directory for example). On the desktop, right click on the old icon, property and change icon. Point to the place where you have stored them. (Sorry for my english) AD2.ico APh2.ico APub2.ico pruus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

entitycat Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I just purchased version 2.2 and ran into the same problem when making desktop shortcuts. Tried multiple methods of creating them and they all still had the corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted September 25, 2023 Staff Share Posted September 25, 2023 Hi @entitycat, Welcome to the Affinity Forums Can you please confirm for me, have you installed the MSIX or EXE versions of the Affinity V2 apps? Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

Staff Dan C Posted October 3, 2023 Staff Share Posted October 3, 2023 Thanks for confirming that for me! Unfortunately this is a consequence of the Affinity apps using the MSIX format and is something that Windows needs to resolve. This issue applies to any MSIX / Windows Store installed application, such as the 'Calculator' app provided with Windows. As shown below, there is no padded Colour around the app icon in Explorer, until it is added as a desktop shortcut and the blue highlighting around the icon is then added by Windows - Unfortunately Windows will need to address this for MSIX, as it is out of our control at Affinity. I hope this clears things up Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.
