UltraEdit, UltraCompare, UEStudio forums

@tsmith35 Many years ago I bought a big box of Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8 with a CD and two books which is still used by me for image editing. PSP8 offers three color reduction methods: similar colors usually best for photos, ordered dither which is just for a palette with standard colors, and error dif...

I don't like the Bootstrap icons because of not containing the abbreviation of the application. A symbol with arrows, a ball pen or a pencil symbol has no relation to a specific application. I favor the round icons with UE , UES , UF , UC , UFTP with the additional black border. The black border is ...

The currently latest version of UltraEdit for Windows is 2023. 1 .0. 19 which contains in several files (uedit32.exe or uedit64.exe, ueres.dll, ue32ctmn.dll, ue64ctmn.dll) the yellow UE in a black square with rounded edges as well as the stylish UE symbol of UE for Windows version 2022 (version 29)....

For the moment, as someone suggested, I created a desktop shortcut, right-clicked on it, changed its icon to the classic golden globe, and pinned the shortcut to the taskbar.   That lets me find it easily on my dark taskbar, whereas the tiny gold UE characters on a dark background do not. The ugly b...

Hi Everyone,   On the new icon, we've heard your candid feedback. Our aim as a product team is always to be user-first in our approach to design and UI, but obviously we missed the mark here. Thankfully, you've let us know. We will restore the classic application icon in our next release, 2023.1 (ET...

I have emailed Support asking them WTF were you thinking, although not quite in that language. 😁 Hopefully, everyone who reads this thread will do the same. I have done the same as polite as possible but it was tough to write absolutely politely about such a subject.  To DigitalSorceress: We are on...

I have emailed Support asking them WTF were you thinking, although not quite in that language. 😁 Hopefully, everyone who reads this thread will do the same. I tried to be very respectful too - I know that I personally being on the Autism spectrum  - one of my quirks is that I really have a hard tim...

I cannot answer any questions posted in this topic as I am just a user of UltraEdit and UEStudio and not an employee of UltraEdit, Inc. knowing the reasons for the application icon change. I sent following email to UltraEdit support on 2023-04-24 after installation of the release candidates of UE/UE...

I hate the new icon as well. I'm with DigitalSorceress on this one, I just can't find UESudio in by Taskbar - The icon looks too similar to Adobe Illustrator. Thanks Mofi for sharing the old one and saving me the trouble to grab it myself from an old version. I really would appreciate the option to ...

Would be nice to have older UEStudio icon as well. Thank you, Hugov, for the UltraEdit icon. And shame on those from the UE team who 'invented' this new ugly icon. This is a bad sign from the new UE management. It means we can get the same 'improvements' for functionality as well.

For me the new icon is really ugly in file lists as shown by Stew. In my opinion would be best to give the user the option to choose between the old and the new icon. The effort to edit the registry for every associated file type can't be the right solution in my eyes.

File associations are registered under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes for all users of a machine and under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes for the current user. Windows combines these two registry keys with current user file associations taking precendence over the local machine file assocat...

+1 on hating the new file icon. I downloaded the .ico file that hugov  shared, but can someone suggest how I'd change the file types that default to UE to use this icon. ResourceHacker doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling, so I'm hesitant to install it, much less use it to hack uedit64.exe. TIA

Upgraded to the newer version and got disappointed about the new icon. Maybe it is just me. I will try replacing it with the ResourceHacker .

Second this.  The new icon is hard on the eyes. It doesn't work on a crowded taskbar or black background desktop.  

[April 2023] Beta testers may have seen the changed icon for UltraEdit – not a huge fan to be honest, so I extracted the Icons from the UE 2022.2 – the gold gradient circle with black border – which you can download below, you can use this for file associations for example or launchers etc.
