Can't see new icon on Windows 7 Quick Menu

[ltrain23]

It's white, so I can't see it using the Windows 7 Aero theme. Needs some color, or an outline.

@eivindveg We have something smiliar for OSX implemented in #52, maybe we can check for the Windows themes as well?

[eivindveg]

Agreed.

Agree, the icon is barely visible on my LInux too

~~Solution similar to #52 needs to be added for Windows. Solution should attempt to read the task bar colour of the currently active theme and select the icon closest to inverse of that colour.~~

EDIT: This actually applies to #84. To solve this issue, we should simply add a thin outline.

What do you think of something like this? http://imgur.com/a/eFYxj

Could you experiment a bit with the same effects on the logo used for the application window as well? If you can get that looking neat(and maybe with another colour than Cyan, I'm not sure), we can think about targetting that for 2.1

@eivindveg do you mean something like this - http://i.imgur.com/IPPNufd.png (in app it could look like this - http://i.imgur.com/Woskj9l.png , requires a little polishing though)

What color then if not cyan? I see overall color palette used by application consists mainly if gray and cyan...

This is done easily in Gimp, create a layer copy, where you use bucket fill tool with any color you like, fill all the letters in that color, then do Filters -> Blur with decent radius, and move this layer below original, so that white letters are above blurred, effect done
