hi, just wanted to pass along some feedback on the new 3.0.5.0 upgrade for windows pc’s. I’ve done the upgrade and things are working fine, but…when the shortcut was created on my desktop the image looks like a (old fashioned) pc window pictgure, not the cylinder with the blue swirls around it.

It works as a shortcut ought to and if I right-click on the icon, it displays correct information about the item,
including the right codebook icon–just doesn’t display correctly on my desktop (weird).

This laptop is a toshiba satellite c655, running Windows 7 Home premium (it will soon be upgraded to windows 10)
but thought I’d pass along the feedback anyway, fyi, in case others are observing similar issues with the icon display

Hello @gk_sync

Thank you for sharing the behavior you are seeing. That is certainly strange, and not something we have seen yet. Would you mind trying to reboot your PC and letting us know if the icon still displays incorrectly? Thanks!

Hi Nick, belated Happy Valentine’s Day! I couldn’t figure it out either,
however, over last night I upgraded this Toshiba to Windows 10 and now the
icon displays correctly on the desktop and task bar without any hitches. So
this can be considered closed from my end - but just it case you see other
reports you’ll have this one. I think I read somewhere on the discussion
boards about another windows 7 user who said their icon was just a blank
square (maybe it’s just a windows 7 thing!)

Cheers.
