Sticking Windows 10 icons into a Program that uses Windows XP design stylings isn't going to make it look modern, it's going to make it look stupid.© Microsoft Corporation. If it looks like it's 20 years old they will look into it more and probably stumble upon the SHGetStockIconInfo function that we are supposed to use to get those icons, or extract it from imageres.dll itself.Īdditionally, older applications using newer icons isn't actually a great thing, since those older applications are usually using an older design language anyway.
One reason that many icons remained unchanged is probably to discourage developers from doing this- if somebody writes code to extract the icon from shell32.dll and it looks correct they will move on to the next problem. The main benefit to updating these icons is that older applications which extract icons from shell32.dll, will get updated icons. I'm surprised how much attention it is getting. Updating these icons affects very little.
