Each and every one of the applications that we install on our computer is associated with an icon, an icon that allows us to recognize the application in question. All the applications that we install only offer us an icon, an icon that is used by default. If the app icon leads us to confusion, we can change it.
Most of us recognize the application by the color of the icon, without stopping to read if it really is the application we need at that moment when clicking on it. The problem is found when two or more applications show us the same color of the logo, and repeatedly we get confused when executing the application.
Windows 10, like previous versions, offers us a large number of options when it comes to customizing our equipment, options that include the possibility of being able to change the icon of the applications. But in addition, it also allows us create icons to use in applications, but this is a process that we will cover in another article, since it is a long, but simple process.
Change an app icon
- First of all, we must place the mouse over the icon of the application, or its shortcut, for which we want to change the icon.
- Next, we click with the right mouse button and access its properties.
- In the window that is displayed, click on the Shortcut tab.
- Next, at the bottom of that window, click on Change icon.
- At that time, all the icons that the Windows 10 version makes available to us will be displayed natively. We just have to select which is the one that best suits our tastes or needs and click OK, Apply and finally OK again.
