IMO, there's no need for the "C" icon 'branding'. Currently, the Hippo icon is used with run2's "To X or Not To X" demo (that is, urxvt if X is running, mintty otherwise): /usr/bin/config-run2-example.sh contains this: mkshortcut --desc="Cygwin Terminal" \ --icon="/usr/bin/cygicons-0.dll" \ --iconoffset=10 \ --arguments="--display 127.0.0.1:0.0 ${XMLFILE}" \ --name="CygShell" \ /usr/bin/run2.exe If people really want the big green C, it's in cygicons-0.dll with the others. -- Chuck
