Hi
Could you please consider changing the color of either Adobe XD or Adobe Dreamviewer in their app icons. Working with them daily but they look to much alike that I often opens the wrong program.

Thanks.

@miac11318964,

Stop worrying about it and get back to work. 😁

Seriously, this is an Adobe BRANDING decision. App logos are color coded by category to make product recognition easier.

Video related apps are purple.
Graphics apps are blue.
UI/UX apps are pink.
Online apps are black and so on...

The next time your apps are updated, the logos will revert to Adobe's colors. So it is what it is.

Well I know it's a brand decision. But that doesn't make it right. It's difficult to navigate in.

I contacted Adobe - and they said I should put my request in the community. So I did.

This is a wish, for them to change it back - so it will be easier to navigate in and use for everyday use.

I assure you that will not change. Adobe spent a fortune on rebranding last year. They have way too much invested in it to turn back now. Besides logo colors are a high-level corporate policy. It's nothing product developers can change. Best advice, learn to live with it.

You can set DW's icons to anything you want (Paul-M's icons for example) by following these steps...

Thank you. But I don't see the options. Maybe because I'm not the administrator.

You shouldn't need Admin rights, at least in Windows.

What OS are you using?

What do you think?

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

That would make so more sense. It's like the good old days 😉

And I differently wouldn't mix the two of them all the time.

Unfortunately that's a design decision from Adobe. All related apps are now the same color. Maybe it saves money on the ink they use to print on the discs that they don't offer anymore...
