might be nice to have a real icon for ruby.exe instead of the default "white box" application icon.

Thanks!

Something like the RubyInstaller icon?

Heh. I hadn't noticed that one since I usually use it built from source.
So that would work, but applied default [and for 1.9], etc.

Something like http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/de/Ruby-(programming-language)-logo-2008.png
might also be a good choice.
Cheers!

Oops that's a feature request not a bug-my bad. And a pretty low priority at that :)

My first try: http://www.cyann.net/2009/03/12/ruby-icon/
I'm thinking of creating other icons for the .rb and .rbw files based on http://rubyidentity.org/

Hi Luis,

I like this one you use very much:
http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/installer-win/local/ruby.ico

It looks very professional, IMO. :)

You can close this ticket, as well. Distributors can come up with their own icons I suppose :)

The end distributors can specify their own icons for now.
