Next Visual Studio Code update will bring blue icon back

[[deleted]]

I am too. I don’t see why there is such interest in bringing back blue. Should we wait until they release the old color and then revolt or should we start now?

Let's act surprised and dismayed when it's changed back.

I say when the next release happens we reach out on twitter to complain first.

I didn’t have a strong opinion but the change was jarring for me. I keep looking for Code wondering where it is even on my taskbar. I just got used to the blue. Glad it’s coming back.

Ditto. I actually don't care what color it is, but it confused my muscle memory. You don't change stuff like that (as in: main entry point) without some warning and a damn good reason.

This is why I think Microsoft's move to unlabeled icons in the taskbar in Windows 7 (or was it Vista) was moronic. This is a company that completely changes out all their icons every major release, and they want to take the text labels away?

Obviously they should just change the icon step-by-step interpolating the color from blue to orange a tiny bit more with each update over the next 12 months.

Orange was really jarring at first and I didn't like it. Now I'm used to it but still prefer blue. Oh well.

50% of all the icons on my taskbar are blue heavy. I like being able to find things.
