It may be possible to change it as per your OS's standard practice (Properties for Windows or Linux; Get Info for OS X).

Just in case you need it, our full size Gears icon is here: http://www.rememberthemilk.com/img/gears/desktop_128x128.png

Is it possible to actually provide us with the icon file?

Windows 7 will not accept the png as an icon and I don't want to have to download a utility to turn into a icon.


Many thanks

hey!

i've just this website to convert that image in an icon file. Now it looks nice on my desktop and taskbar

The problem is it changes itself back every so often when you launch the program, and you have to go through this whole process again. It's a bummer. I've been fighting with it for a year.

I have also been fighting this for the longest time. It's pretty annoying when every other icon on my desktop is clean and crisp and the RTM icon is pixelated...especially when I use it all the time. Not what I expected from a subscription service.

Unfortunately this icon is provided via the Gears service, whose kinks won't be ironed out.

In the meantime, using the Gears icon, it may be best to use your OS' file management tools to write-protect the shortcut if you don't want Gears changing the icon.
