from time to time I switch between 3 different versions of vvvv and when I do that I usually have each of them tied to the task bar, then I can quickly access the most recently accessed patches.
it is however a bit difficult to keep track of which is which, so I would like to suggest that the taskbar icons had a little text, like beta33.7 x64 in it somehow so it was possible to distinguish between the different versions.
that would be really really really helpfull
rightclick->properties on the taskbar you can change the icon of any app. wouldn’t that help already?
yes, that’s what i do (sometimes).
why not integrate it (or at least ship such a icon)?
that’s how it looks here:

https://vvvv.org/sites/default/files/imagecache/large/images/icon_big.png
yes, it is possible, but it would be sooo much nicer if vvvv, came with such icons…
until that happens, @sebl, would you mind sharing the icons you already have.
Perhaps alpha versions could have another color/shade of grey than beta, that is pretty common with other software when the versions are in alpha/beta.
i don’t hav an automatic routine for the icons, so you can just download the images above.
i just used a simple pixelfont like this Wendy Schriftart | dafont.com
