When you have Pro Tools 10.3.6+ and Pro Tools 11 co-installed, you will notice that the icons are exactly the same. So why not change one of them to give us a quick visual cue as to which version we are clicking on!
Watch the video to see exactly how we do this on Windows 8.
Use any icon that is already on your system or make your own. To make your own you can use a paid program like Photoshop or Photoshop Elements or a free program like GIMP.
To use an image as an Icon on Windows, the file needs to be converted to an .ico file. There are several free and paid programs available on Cnet.com that will convert an image file to an icon file. Or just search online and you will find several free online options to upload and convert an image to an icon.
For the Windows 8 Start screen tile, you need a program like OblyTile, there are free and paid options for this too, in the Windows Store.
