[4.0] Use a Large Icon
0%
Description
Currently Dolphin executables are using the 48x48px version of the program icon (at least on Windows), that make it appear with a ugly square in Windows Vista and later on (especially if you pin it ant Windows 8 start screen). Browsing the source code, I found the bigger version of the current icon at https://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/source/browse/Source/Core/DolphinWX/resources/Dolphin.icns
Would be nice using this file to produce a 256x256px version of the icon and use it in Dolphin 4.0 and later revisions...

A new icon is being debated for 4.0. That would naturally mean the icon gets a large size version as well.

If, by hypothesis, the icon doesn't change and remains the same (like what happened when a new icon was debated for Dolphin 3.0) it would be nice using the bigger version of the current icon...
BTW, nice to know we can get something new in Dolphin 4.0..

Well this definitely should be fixed either way. Here, I'll make it a little more generic. If we make a new icon or use a bigger version of the old one this will count as fixed.
I would mark it as easy, but deciding on icons is a pain in the ass...

Yeah Dolphin needs a new icon, the current one looks dated. Maybe we should do a new icon design competition on the forums!

The old design competition didn't yield a single professional looking icon that would've even qualified as a candidate for a replacement at all, so I'd rather not waste my time creating such a thread again.

Well, if we're going to use the same icon, at least use the large version =)

Just because there isn't a public competition doesn't mean 4.0 won't get a new icon :P. We've been handling it internally.

I'll handle this before release to keep the surprise :)

Integration to the website done, integration to the windows version of Dolphin done, still needs testing for the XPM and icns. Forum and Wiki should be trivial to update, I'll do that the day of release.
