ConEmu icon rebranding

Hi, ConEmu users! Happy New Year!

My followers (Twitter, G+, FaceBook) likely know already that I'm searching for new ConEmu icon...
The main reason - the current one looks very much like Far Manager one.
New icon must be memorable, associative, simple and ascribable to PC/IT.... read more

Tasks, Icons and tabs

Realized some inconsistency in the "/icon" task parameter.
When it was created, the idea was to set the icon in the ConEmu window TITLE BAR. In other words, when you run ConEmu with exact Task on its startup (any shell, long running script, and so on) uses has an option to change the icon, which will be visible on task bar and in the ConEmu title bar.
Now, the problem. If you have already started ConEmu and you run that task, ConEmu title bar icon will be changed. And never will be changed back.
What do you think? Need to ignore "/icon" switch in the task parameters when it is running in the existing ConEmu instance?

  • If you set up and press selection modifier - mouse selection will start even if ‘Intelligent selection’ is disabled with exceptions.
  • New mode may be disabled ‘totally’ or for specified processes only. For example, Vim knows about text selection and can process mouse internally, and Far Manager can use mouse for dragging files or text selection in Editors.
  • When "far" specified in the exceptions without extension, you can use new mode in the ‘User screen’ (panels are off) and in Viewers.... read more
