How do I change Thunderbird's icon back to the older version? The new version looks a lot like Signal's icon. When I have a taskbar full of icons, I have to look carefully to make sure I'm selecting the correct icon for the app I want to switch to. It's annoying. Thanks

Thanks David! Yes, Windows. Sorry for not mentioning that. I'm also running the portable version of Thunderbird, if that matters. I tired just making a shortcut of Thunderbird and changing it's icon, which worked for the link on the taskbar, but not for the running executable. Thanks again!

I am assuming windows: I also assume you have created a desired ico file

  1. click to the locate of the exe file, thunderbird.exe
  2. in that folder is a folder named chrome and in that is a folder named icons and in that folder is a folder named default
  3. RENAME the messengerWindow.ico to something else
  4. place your icon there, rename to messengerWindow.ico, AND rightclick and make sure that it is UNBLOCKED
  5. next, on windows desktop, rightclick the thunderbird icon, select properties and click 'rename'
  6. select that icon and click 'apply'
  7. done
