It looks very out of place in general. I loved the old icon because it was realistic, and went on well with the rest of Vista/7/Mac OSX icons.

I love minimalism but to an extent, especially when it begins not to match the whole rest of the environment (N)

I know everyone loves it, and while I love Chrome, I hate the new icon! Noticed it this morning and thought I was going crazy because I couldn't stop staring at it wondering why it bothered me so much.

So there, I said it. Looks nice with Chromium and Canary, but not Chrome in my opinion. Sorry to be the downer but... (N)

I like it. The old one was way too glossy like something rendered with the unreal engine with bloom on full blast.

Yeah but they went to the other extreme with this one, it looks like someone threw it together in 3 minutes using the custom shape tool, and it looks horrific at smaller sizes, they didn't even try and make it look good at the win7 superbar size, as you go smaller you need a sharper looking icon. This looks like they did nothing but resize it. The old Icon was a little over glossed/beveled, but this is just awful lol.

I like the new logo after seeing it for the first time a few seconds ago on my own install. Before the icon popped up onto my Superbar I had no idea they were going to overhaul the logo until I found this thread. Like I said, I do like the new logo but I do not like the smaller version of it in the Superbar. The white circle around the blue ball needs more anti-aliasing IMO.

It's neat that the hover colour for the Superbar item has changed from yellow/orange into red.

For whatever reason, the icon on the taskbar is not updating for me even though I have the latest dev build installed and the install files show the new icon.

Edit: I give up...even reinstalling it still puts the old icon in the taskbar.

^Lol. Yeah, it does share similarities :p

Are you sure that you're using the dev-builds? The regular version of Chrome doesn't have the icon yet as far as I know.

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I'm not happy with myself for it, but I've gone and got hold of it. Just another 45 minutes and I'll be Bond, James Bond. In my defence, IO's Hitman series is awesome, and I'm a sucker for 007. So while it might seem a bit simplified compared to Hitman, I'm sure I'll be right at home.
