If anyone is interested in changing the default WMMA3 icon so it's less low-res, take this file:

(Quotes so you can see the white.)

Then, run it through here and save the result: http://www.convertico.com/

Then right click your WMMA shortcut or .exe and look at the bottom where it says "Change Icon" and use the new one you saved.

The icon probably isn't an issue for a lot of people, that icon I posted might not be right for your resolution (I use 1440x900, it might be too large or some for some people), and my icon isn't great, but I don't know why the default icon looks like it's for Duke Nukem 3D or something and I figured since I fixed it for myself, someone else might want the same thing. :p

Note: Make sure to save the file somewhere (perhaps the WMMA3 folder is a good place). If you delete the file, it won't be able to find it and you won't have an icon.

It's because that icon is only 16x16 pixels and used for three things:

1. Icon in the top left corner of the WMMA window.
2. Icon for Windows taskbar.
3. Icon for the Programs folder shortcut.

There's a larger version in the WMMA > System folder if you want to create a desktop shortcut.

The only icon in the system folder is the 16x16 icon (with 7 .mm3 files). I still have the demo, so perhaps that explains it.
