Description Peter Sampson 2017-11-24 11:24:05 UTC

The Windows exe installer is still using the old Audacity Logo

We updated the Logo for 2.2.0

The installer should be upgraded to use the new logo

This is caused by file win/audacity.ico which hasn't changed since 2010

I look in GIMP and see it's actually many image layers, each showing the old
icon with various magnifications, and some sub-pixel half-toning going on in each.

(In reply to James Crook from comment #2)
Testing with macOS 10.13.2 with  audacity-macos-nightly-2.2.2-f4c8920.dmg - 26.32 MB | version: 2.2.2--23Jan18

Shows that the Mac installation suffers from this too in the Installation dialog that enables you to drag the app from the DMG to the Applications folder

Testing on macOS 10.13.2 High Sierra with  audacity-macos-nightly-2.2.2-f5737be.dmg - 26.32 MB | version: 2.2.2--25Jan18 

The new Audacity logo with text shows nicely now as the header in the Mac installation dialog.

But the logo for the Audacity app (to be dragged over to the applications folder) is still the older darker mini-log - and the same is true of the Audacity icons in the installation folder for 2.2.2 (qnd 2.2.1).  Do we want to deal with this as part of this bug - or log a new separate bug for this.

Comment 5 Peter Sampson 2018-01-25 09:09:08 UTC

Testing on W10 with 2.2.2 JC008 25Jan18 f5737be02ce24e78e0c7d843d8df57d919aef72b

The various mini-windows in the Windows installation all show the new logo

Unlike Mac the icons for the audacity app (and download) show the new style logo.

So marking as OK on Windows

Testing on macOS 10.13.2 High Sierra with  audacity-macos-nightly-2.2.2-60ea8a6.dmg - 27.48 MB | version: 2.2.2--26Jan18

The mac Audacity icons now correctly show the new logo
