Sigil icon - contrast issue on Windows 10 taskbar
For the dev group:

The Sigil icon displays well on desktops but poorly on the applist and the standard taskbar. I've attached an image from the taskbar on my laptop - Sigil is the fifth icon from the right. Instantly recognizable as the one icon that is difficult to actually see !

Could the Sigil icon be re-contrasted or re-colored ?

Just change the icon attached to the short-cut to something that is more visible.
I use one like this - https://simplissimo.com.br/wp-conten...sigil-icon.png
You might have to resize the image to make it fit, but you can use Windows Paint to do that.

1. Drag the icon to the desktop
2. Right-click and select Properties
3. Click the Shortcut tab
4. Click the Change Icon button and select the new icon.
5. Re-attach the shortcut to the taskbar.

This is what my taskbar looks like -

Personally, I use the contrast version, which looks IMHO more clearly in the dark mode.
The background color of the attached icon refers to the original color of the Sigil icon.
