Application Icons

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Regarding the application icons in the suite, I really find it a shame that they are all black. Whether for Maschine 2, Maschine 3, Native Access, Traktor Pro, Komplete Kontrol, and many others, all the icons are black. As a result, this makes it difficult to distinguish them quickly.

I just change them back to the old ones - if you are on Mac this is as easy as right clicking on the app icon, going to 'Get Info' and dragging the desired icon onto the thumbnail of the current one

I haven't tried, but it should be possible to change the icon also on Win. I also belong to the group of people who think that new icons are real, real bad. It looks like CEO's baby has created them, not profesional designer…. I cannot imagine anyone would be willing to pay to profesional designer for such a ******.

If NI wanted make a new look, they could update look of old icons. It would be 'acceptable' to make them blacke and white, if desired and with more morern look, but still recognizable at the first sight.

The designer absolutely overlooked, that most of population on earth does not use latin alphabet. Imagine, NI would be chineese company and decided to use chineese symbols on icons….

Icon is graphical label and should be understandable without knowing alphabet.

I agree, the previous icons with their separate shapes and colours made it easy to tell them apart, which is helpful for the end user, especially if visually impaired.

The same thing was mentioned when they first started introducing the new ones, but I guess because presumably they'd paid to have them done, they remained the same.

Yes they are dreadful, so many times I’ve clicked on the wrong one by mistake because they are almost indistinguishable
