Hi
I recently switched from Chrome to Edge. I liked Chromes colorful icon because it stands out from mostly bluish icons pinned to taskbar. Now I have hard time to find Edge amongst a lot of small blue icons. :)
I would like to have an option to chose different colors of Edge icon in red, orange or other, more vivid colors.
Regards

Sorry i forgot the last part :)
after you do that, unpin the old icon from taskbar and drag the new one over the taskbar to pin it.
you can do the same to Start menu shortcuts:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
btw, can you please attach a screenshot of your taskbar? I want to see the old icons you're referring to.

it appears that the trick works on Edge canary but on Edge stable, it reverts back to the original state like you said.
so i used resource hacker to change it and keep it that way.

Edge stable executable is here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application
if you get an error saying Edge is open, one reason could be the startup boost: edge://settings/system
btw, these icons are new, like a year old. is it possible that you are seeing internet explorer or Edge legacy icons on your taskbar?

Tak Edge umożliwia zmianę ikony - dodam zrzut ekranu ekranu.
Ale ja uważam że to jest tak jak znak towarowy i nie powinien być zmieniany !
dziękuję

Well, it's not working for me :(
I have changed icon in resource hacker. On taskbar there is colored icon, when I run Edge there is same old blue icon. I tried with release and dev version.

Did you ever find a solution for this? I just switched to Edge and, like you mentioned, there's too much blue in my taskbar at times.
