Just add one for explorer.exe, and in the rule, enable the "Use process file icon..." option ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/behavioral-difference-icon-change-when-cycling-explorer-windows/?ID=667e15f7-3c0f-450d-84b0-154f96542f0f#3 Mon, 07 Sep 2015 13:31:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/behavioral-difference-icon-change-when-cycling-explorer-windows/?ID=667e15f7-3c0f-450d-84b0-154f96542f0f#3 DisplayFusion I hate to necropost this 4 year old thread, but I made an account just to say that Windows Explorer is still showing the wrong icon. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/behavioral-difference-icon-change-when-cycling-explorer-windows/?ID=667e15f7-3c0f-450d-84b0-154f96542f0f#2 Fri, 15 Jul 2011 16:53:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/behavioral-difference-icon-change-when-cycling-explorer-windows/?ID=667e15f7-3c0f-450d-84b0-154f96542f0f#2 DisplayFusion This one's on our list to fix. However, we'll likely just make it behave the same as the Windows taskbar without adding an option to toggle the behaviour.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/behavioral-difference-icon-change-when-cycling-explorer-windows/?ID=667e15f7-3c0f-450d-84b0-154f96542f0f Fri, 15 Jul 2011 15:54:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/behavioral-difference-icon-change-when-cycling-explorer-windows/?ID=667e15f7-3c0f-450d-84b0-154f96542f0f DisplayFusion This is just a behavioral difference between windows taskbar and display fusion taskbar. When clicking through a group of Explorer Windows the icon in the taskbar changes for the group to reflect the currently selected window's icon. (See attachment for capture). I would not consider this a problem, because in some ways it can be considered beneficial. However, for myself, I have become accustomed to look for the Windows Explorer Icon in the tray when looking for the group of windows. Therefore, if an option could be added to let the icon switch or stay constant with the parent program, that would be great. ]]>
