Description of the new feature / enhancement

You can change the icon next to the clock in settings, changing between some pre-defined options, or loading .ico files.
The idea is to make this icon less flashy and more similar to the identity of the original Windows icons.

Maybe even with the option of not having any icon there, and opening the options with just some command.

Scenario when this would be used?

An option in General Settings.

I think it looks very much like the windows style. But I also think that's a way of perspective.

But how important is that really? We don't have infinite resources. How much does this icon disturb you?

@victorgneves is the ask to have a non-colorized icon? Basically make the PT icon look like it is an OS systray icon?

@victorgneves is the ask to have a non-colorized icon? Basically make the PT icon look like it is an OS systray icon?

Exactly.
I thought about being able to change the .ico file, just because maybe it's simpler and myself draw an icon that looks like a native system resource.
I know it's not the most important thing in the world, but it's something that catches my attention.
Although I like the original PowerTools icon, just on the system bar I don't think it's cool.

(Sorry for the english, google translator.)
