What
Use a distinct icon (
AppDev.ico) for non-Release builds so debug and release binaries can be easily told apart in the file explorer and taskbar — including when both versions are pinned to the taskbar.Changes
src/SourceGit.csproj:ApplicationIconis now conditional (App.icofor Release,AppDev.icootherwise)DEV_BUILDconstant is defined for non-Release buildsApp.icoandAppDev.icoare included asAvaloniaResourcesrc/App.axaml.cs: ApplyAppDev.icoto all windows at startup viaWindow.WindowOpenedEventclass handler whenDEV_BUILDis definedsrc/AppDev.ico: Color-adjusted version ofApp.ico(hue modified using GIMP). Feel free to replace with a custom design.The official Release build (
-c Release) is unaffected.
