Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

When you open your mail client from the Mozilla browser you'll notice one small
thing that occurs (or doesn't occur) on the taskbar. The little icon on that
appears on the buttons for each window on the Taskbar for both your mail client
and browser are the same. If you look at Netscape 6 or 4.x or IE they all use a
different icon for their mail, browser and whatever other clients they use. It
just makes things easier to read, and several people in my office find this a
small peeve about your client.The icons in the TaskBar *not* the system tray. It
should be easy to distinguish between a mail window and a browser window.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open your mail client from the Mozilla browser
2.
3.

Actual Results:  The little icon on that appears on the buttons for each window
on the Taskbar for both your mail client and browser are the same. If you look
at Netscape 6 or 4.x or IE they all use a different icon for their mail, browser
and whatever other clients they use. It just makes things easier to read, and
several people in my office find this a small peeve about your client.

Expected Results:  If you look at Netscape 6 or 4.x or IE they all use a
different icon for their mail, browser and whatever other clients they use.

The icons in the TaskBar *not* the system tray. It should be easy to distinguish
between a mail window and a browser window.

This has been reported several times. I'm going to take advantage of the fact
that the Preferences component is just so obviously wrong and close this as
INVALID rather than look up the duplicate.

Use http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/quicksearch.html to look up "window icon" and
you'll probably find it easily. If that fails try "DUP window icon".
