I would be satisfied with a response that just told me where the two different n++ icons really are.Ĭomparing the two methods of seeing icons I can't for the life of me figure out how windows decides which icon to put where. You can see these two overlaid in the second image. If I use IconsExtract (third party tool) on the exe I get the "n++" style icon, but if I right click on N++ in the task bar > Choose properties > Click "Change Icon" I get the chameleon on a pencil icon. In fact, as I was writing up this question I found that there is a difference between two means of getting at the icon resources in notepad++.exe. Similarly the Sql Developer icon (immediately to the right of N++) also looks different on different monitors (demonstrating that even when the app's not running this is an issue). Notice that the "notepad++" icon on the left (it's the highlighted/active icon) is the original icon with the little chameleon sitting on a pencil (you will have to zoom in) and the one on the right just shows the text "n++".
It is my task bar on my left and middle monitors.
