WMP Icon- Open call

Well,
I'm putting out a DISTRESS call.
Can anyone who knows how,
PLEASE make a substitute for that abomination of an icon for WMP.
And FAST
Don't know if that was a joke;(on the world of computing); or if the people
responsible are color blind,
but OMG, that is the most disgusting icon I've EVER seen. That color scheme
is gross.
Seriously; it's gross and whoever did it should be either promoted; for
making the most UGLY icon in Vista, or fired; for their complete lack of
color sense.
Makes me want to vomit.
So please; anyone who knows how; please please please make a new icon
package(that'll replace that one), and quick.
Maybe we could start a contest?
or a simple how to guide to replacing it;would be cool too.

Jeff

Well, I agree that it is not a good icon. There was no reason to change the
old one. This one is not nearly as easy to identify visually and quickly in
start menus or on the task bar.

But, in the end, it's an icon. I guess we'll get used to it, huh? I'd
rather they change WMP than just change the icon .

You can make a new icon, just a small bmp, but why don't you just change to
the old one. Right click on properties, select change icon and you have two
choices, the new blue one and one that looks like the old one.

John,
SWEEEEEETTT
Thanks SOOO much,
but alas; it shows 2;but both that disgusting new one
(that's the shortcut I tried)
So I went to the icon folder; and couldn't find that one.
Found the green play arrow though.
That'll do for now, I guess.
Might havta vpc an older build and grab it from there.
