Preview Releases (and builds?) to have a different icon to help distinguish from production version #6317

Closed

Description

As agreed in PR 6301, preview releases should have a different icon to distinguish it from the production version and avoid people accidentally using the preview version.
For the daily builds I already changed it using the code here to use the Powershell_av_colors.ico icon:

The only remaining icon is Powershell_avatar.ico:
image

Therefore I suggest that the preview should use the Powershell_av_colors.ico icon instead now and the daily builds should start using the Powershell_avatar.ico icon instead.

I think, preview builds (produced e.g. by AppVeyor) should also have a different icon and I will leave it up to the maintainers which of the 2 icons to choose or if a new icon should be used for those.

    Just a quick question how can I get an installer of the nightly version of powershell 6.1 I have been looking everywhere on the site cannot seem to locate. I am a 16 year old high school student whom is looking at and wanting to code programs and apps. Please help

    Lachlan Kent (@Lachlan125) You can e.g. use the following command (on any OS) to get an unzipped installation of the daily build

    iex "& { $(irm https://aka.ms/install-pscore ) } -Daily"

    Otherwise you can click also e.g. on the AppVeyor builds of any commit and download the msi as an artefact for a proper installation.
