Last update changed my icons for URL's

[Steinawitz]

That update that my browser processed today updated all of my desktop icons for Vivaldi.

I enjoy the old icon that fills the space of the icon. The new icon is a thumbnail of the old icon. I 've been struggling to find a way to reset the URL link icons back to what the previously looked like, shown below.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

My Desktop url icons and .htm / .html files have gotten a smaller vivaldi logo in them, more white then the whole vivaldi icon like before.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VivaldiHTM.FVSLOID77ZH7F22ZT6MJODTIIA\DefaultIcon] @="D:\\Program Files\\Vivaldi_64\\Application\\vivaldi.exe,3"
used to be:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VivaldiHTM.FVSLOID77ZH7F22ZT6MJODTIIA\DefaultIcon] @="D:\\Program Files\\Vivaldi_64\\Application\\vivaldi.exe,0"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\VivaldiHTM.FVSLOID77ZH7F22ZT6MJODTIIA\DefaultIcon] @="D:\\Program Files\\Vivaldi_64\\Application\\vivaldi.exe,3"
Same story,

I dont use AutoUpdate but update with the the whole installer I download every time with updates.
My question is the behavior intended or is it because I update manually ?
Easy to fix but if every update takes icon "3" I am just wondering ... ?

I was finally able to resolve this by editing the registry. The value of this icon within the executable somehow updated to ,3 where the old was ,0

I had posted a few days ago about the newest Vivaldi update changing my desktop icons to a different icon set embedded in the Vivaldi executable.
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/102272/last-update-changed-my-icons-for-url-s

All was well but this morning my icons again reverted to the smaller Vivaldi icon that is a thumbnail of the Vivaldi logo.

I'm not sure what is triggering this and I don't see logging in Vivaldi of when an update took place. I did go and disable automatic updates in Vivaldi. Does anyone know how to see when Vivaldi pushed a new update?

This seems to be a new issue with the recent update to Vivaldi. I'd prefer not to have to edit my registry every time that I update this app.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to resolve this in a more permanent fashion?

@Steinawitz Seems wrong icon is assigned.
I will ask internally if this is intended.

[Steinawitz]

@DoctorG Thank you much! Any help or information is appreciated.

Hi @DoctorG, I was wondering if you had any update or thoughts about this issue.

Thanks

@Steinawitz As i know the Chromium core causes this, no fix yet.

@Steinawitz I too want a fix. Not a fan of the new one. I was going to make a post, but saw this thread. I look into doing it from Windows, but that mainly works on shortcuts.

[Steinawitz]

@twisted8000 Yea, it's one of those minor things that kinda drives me nuts. I'm able to change the icon one at a time by going to properties/ change icon, but that's just an endless process.

I've been able to restore them back to normal through a regedit but it doesn't seem to last longer than a few days.

I'm hoping the Vivaldi team can work to correct this behavior in the next few patches.

@Steinawitz Yep I did what you mentioned above and mine are all back to the white back ground. It would be nice if they just fixed this.
