Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Seamonkey 1.1.18 has different icons installed in the quick launch bar and the start menu for the browser and mail.

Seamonkey 2.0pre, 2.0RC1 and 2.1a1pre have the same icon installed for the browser and the browser in safe mode (this is logical, like in Firefox) but also for mail and the profile manager. This is not logical and unlike other installed Windows programs.

I don't know whether this is intentional or an error.

The start menu icon for the mail I copy always to the quick launch bar. The seamonkey icon for the browser is already there and having two same icons in the quick launch bar next to each other looks weird.

Can the same Mail icon that is used in Seamonkey 1.1.18 be used again for 2.0pre, 2.0RC1 and 2.1a1pre? And a different profile manager icon?

Reproducible: Always

Here is a patch that changes the mailnews shortcut icon to the same one as 1.1.x and changes the profile manager icon to a more specific one.  Since we don't have an icon for the profile manager, I reused one of the address book icons.

r+ on the messengerWindow.ico part. The Profile Manager part still needs to be discussed with the rest of the SeaMonkey team.

The mail icon has returned in Seamonkey2.0RC2 (bug 521616)! Thanks! When I now
copy the mail icon from the start menu to the quick launch bar, I have two
different icons there instead of the same. Great!

I have filed a bug (523344) to ask whether the installation process of Seamonkey2.0 can do this, like when installing Firefox and Thunderbird together.

I can remember this from earlier times and don't know whether it is left out
intentionally or it is a bug.

It would look great. Can the same people who did this job so fast, do that?

Nothing else to do here.
