icon issues

Windows 10 22H2 (build 19045.6033)
Hurl 0.9.3

Howdy, @U-C-S! Wow, it seems I last talked here two years ago! Hope you're doing well and I'm glad to see your progress with Hurl.
So…

I would appreciate help with two icon issues:

First, I need help setting a custom icon for some apps (with CustomIconPath, I assume). For example, Microsoft Edge Dev and Google Chrome Beta don't display their correct icons (shown in the two Properties windows on each side of the main Hurl dialog). How can I configure each of them to point to the correct icon resource embedded in the .EXE file? (I remember issue #65 from before version 0.8 where using an ICO would result in a poor resolution; has that been solved?)

Second, a feature I'd love to request is allowing the user to choose their own icon for .URL shortcuts when Hurl is set as the default browser, allowing choice from a local .ICO file. Could you pretty-please make that a feature? (That would also greatly help in terms of ensuring I know I'm not accessing a browser application, but just a shortcut really.)

And as bonus… Third, have you ever revisited issue #71 and hopefully enabling Acrylic for Windows 10? I see version 0.9.x doesn't have an Acrylic effect -- and, with the OS reaching EOL soon, my hopes are not too high, but still… I doesn't hurt to ask.
As an additional aesthetic effect, I'd like to suggest make the × Close button red when hovered over with the cursor.

Again, wish you all the best! Thanks!!

Hi lucas, Thanks for opening an issue here.

I am doing another small rewrite of the app in #195 (well it's progressing slowly), but icon fetching is the next thing I am working on. I will keep all this in mind.

hopefully enabling Acrylic for Windows 10?

I will try once again to get that working

suggest make the × Close button red when hovered over with the cursor.

Thank you very much, I'll greatly appreciate those improvements!

How about my second suggestion, allowing the user to set a custom icon (from a ICO file, perhaps also DLL or EXE files, etc.) for .URL shortcuts handled by Hurl when it is set as the default "browser"?

Hi,

I've been using the custom icon setting and noticed that the .ico image with a resolution of 512x512 is a bit pixelated. Additionally, when I use a 64x64 icon (measured from the app), it appears quite blurry. Could you please confirm the best resolution I should use for optimal clarity?

Thank you!
