Hi all, Harold,

The current icon in XWin.exe doesn't look very well against a dark
background.  That's because Windows doesn't have a real alpha-channel
for icons, but just a binary transparency mask, so the antialiasing
effect that the icon has doesn't work very well.

I made a different variant of the icon inspired by the Apples MacOS
version, see attachment.  This works well for me, so I thought you
might be interested.
