Description

Currently both QGIS and QGIS Browser share same icon, this is a bit confusing for users. It will be better to use different icon for QGIS Browser. Here is my attempt to create such icon.

P.S. not sure how to classify this — as bug or as feature. Please correct, if I'm wrong

Hi Alexander,

Here is a version I made for when we created an alias to the embedded browser within the main QGIS.app bundle for Mac OS X (3c1c229). Attached here as a PNG, exported from the Mac .icns file.

Hi Larry,
could you please commit this icon? Especially on Windows having two identical icons on the desktop is very confusing for many users.
