# DesktopBeast™ Icon Polish Green

## Source

- Supplied PNG: Stormcrow-provided shared TechBeast™ beast-monitor source image.
- Project source copy: `src\Assets\DesktopBeast-source.png`
- Generated ICO: `src\Assets\DesktopBeast.ico`

## Generated Icon Sizes

The `.ico` contains seven 32-bit PNG-compressed entries:

- 16x16
- 24x24
- 32x32
- 48x48
- 64x64
- 128x128
- 256x256

For 16/24/32, the generated image uses a tighter center crop around the beast-monitor face so the icon reads better at small taskbar and titlebar sizes. Larger sizes keep the full framed DTB monitor icon.

## Applied To

- Executable/app icon via `ApplicationIcon`
- Main Window icon
- Capture Screen icon
- ArchiveBeast™ Library icon
- Settings window icon
- About window icon
- Taskbar / Alt+Tab through the WPF window icon and executable icon
- System tray icon
- Package icon asset at `Assets\DesktopBeast.ico`
- Optional package shortcuts via `Create Shortcuts.ps1`

## Package

- ZIP: `release\DesktopBeast-EA-Beta-Package-Candidate.zip`
- SHA256: `87E01AD993F30B6C5C2F88559E2049334F12BCFB692CE57D452715D5DA63CC65`

## Verified

- Build succeeded.
- Publish succeeded.
- ZIP rebuilt.
- SHA256 generated.
- Package inspected and includes `Assets/DesktopBeast.ico`.
- Package scan found no blocked public-release language or debug PDB file.

## Validation Note

Windows may cache executable, taskbar, Alt+Tab, and pinned shortcut icons. If the old default icon still appears during live testing:

- fully Exit DesktopBeast™
- unpin old taskbar shortcuts
- use the freshly rebuilt package folder
- recreate shortcuts with `Create Shortcuts.ps1`
- restart Explorer or sign out/in if Windows icon cache remains stale

The packaged executable and app windows have been rebuilt with the DTB icon.
