Changelog:

• Fixed support for multiple steam libraries when creating a custom shortcut.

Firstly, sorry for the lack of updates. Honestly, I never expected this to get so much usage, as it was only ever released as a response to a question over on Superuser to show the source code didn't have anything malicious within. I certainly never expected quite as many stars as it currently has. When I wrote this originally I had a lot of spare time as I was mid travelling and didn't have any full time employment, and since then, personal and work life have got a lot busier.

I know however that the 20H2 Windows update broke some functionality, as it attempts to display translucency behind the icon. This is a feature a number of users actually wanted for a while (although stronger transparency would be ideal, and currently has no level of customisation I can tap into). However, this also broke a lot of colour schemes that users had set up.

This latest update builds the icon images differently to incorporate the background colour with the icon. This is switched based on whether you have the latest update or not to retain compatibility with older versions. A number of users have found a work around using a registry key to disable this functionality. You can of course retain it using this, however Microsoft could update and remove this functionality (in fact, I have concerns they may remove the functionality I use to create these icons in the first place).

Any old icons will need to be re-iconified to work with the new version. Either visit them all individually, or use Utilities -> Batch Shortcut Options to update all your background colours in one pass.

If you are on 20H2 with the new Start Menu enabled, you will have a new 'colour' in the dropdown named 'Default'. This will be the Windows default behaviour, which may or may not be translucent and based on your accent colour, depending on your personalisation settings. It is effectively how icons behaved before this update.

Changelog:

• Support 20H2 changes
• Bugfix by @DavidIQ - pull in arguments when quick building shortcuts.
• Updated to Net 4.7.2
• Updated Octokit to reenable auto checking for updates

Changelog:

• Folder browsing now a little more feature-full, allowing typing of paths as well as navigation.
• Custom colors now persist between runs

Bug fixes:

• A small chance an error message box could be called across threads resulting in a messy death... Should be okay now.
• Misaligned checkbox in a dropdown menu should now be okay,
• Higher quality image rendering.
• Start menu paths are no longer hardcoded, hopefully fixing some issues with non-standard path setups.

Changelog:

• Fixed an issue where icons weren't correctly being pulled from an EXE/DLL file (May need revisiting further down the line with more test cases)

Changelog:

• Huge backend overhaul of the UI by @mcdenis - should work well with all DPI's now, big thanks!
• Old visualmanifests for applications that come with them should now back up (only if they have never been run before). For example, Office applications come pre-manifested, these will now restore when the TileIconifier manifest is removed.
• A more intuitive warning is provided when trying to iconify something that won't allow it (primarily antivirus software)

Changelog

• Eyedropper should now work correctly on high resolution monitors
• Skinning has been vastly improved across all forms (Many many thanks to @mcdenis for this!)
• Align panel now allows small changes as well as click and hold for more precision (Thanks to @mcdenis again)
• Fixed a crash with some Windows Store app issues

Changelog

• Fixed the latest release to correctly work with new tiles

Previous Changelog:

• Added 'batch shortcut operations' to utilities. This allows you to change the background colours and foreground text settings of multiple shortcuts at once (Shortcut must have already been iconified previously). Backup/restore functionality will come soon...ish. (Reasonably tested, feedback greatly appreciated!)
• A warning is now displayed for items with known incompatibility (currently known - Office, Chrome and Firefox).
• Various speed improvements, less refreshing going on
• Various bug fixes, hopefully a few less crashes going on for some odd use case
• .jpeg extension now allowed as well as .jpg

Changelog:

• Fix: Should no longer crash if a Chrome installation isn't detected

Changelog:

• Feature: New Custom Shortcut lists now only refresh the first time it's opened or when manually instigated, should be a lot faster to open after first opening the New Custom Shortcut form now.
• Feature/Fix: Shouldn't crash if the default Segoe UI font has been replaced in the registry. Will attempt to use Segoe UI, if that fails it'll attempt to use the replacement.
• Fix: Some missing Windows Store Apps (Such as Hulu) should now be listed correctly. Certain Windows Store Apps may also show that are not be intended to be executed.
• Fix: Quotes are now trimmed out from Other Custom Shortcuts as they error in execution.
