Make Google Chrome "Application" Windows Use High-Quality Icons in Windows 7
- by The How-To Geek
Whenever I use Google Chrome's "Create Application" shortcut (which I heavily use, and recommend), the icons shown on the Windows 7 taskbar are really blurry, probably the result of the 16x16 favicon being stretched out.
I'd like to be able to replace these with another, high-quality icon, but even when I replace the cached file, it doesn't update for some reason.
For reference, here's the path to the icon, for Gmail, at least. I'm also using the latest Dev channel version of Chrome.
