DWF Icons with different Colors

DWF Icons with different Colors

Please correct the display of the DWF icons for all applications.
It is not clear why the colors of the icons in the applications differ.

On my machine there is even a difference between DWF and DWFx. So I guess it is not Vault’s fault but it depends on Windows’ settings. (The link between a file type and its application.)

DWF and DWFx are different file types, so I can imagine the Windows operating system making a difference here.
In my described case, the same DWFx file type has different colors in the icons. These have to be basically the same.

True enough. But this could be a clue: AFAIK, Vault uses the same icons as Windows. And in Inventor the icons are probably hard coded.

So, to get the same icons in both applications would mean that Inventor has to read the correct icon from the current Windows settings. Could be tricky to do. And to be honest, I can’t see the big advantage. But users can be a difficult bunch 😉

We get questions about why the green DWF in Inventor is red like the PDF and if you have PDF and DWFx files like in my example, it is visually better for the user if they can see the difference based on the color. But I also believe that there are other more important tasks.

Nevertheless, the desire for change remains.

Thank you for posting the Idea.

However, Vault does not control the icons displayed in other products.

Vault will use the OS default application for the icons.
