High-res icon in notifier

[willi.am]

It's not a big deal, but the icon in the (default) Windows new-mail-popup is kind of low-res.

Is it possible to alter this image or embed a sharper icon?

See screenshot, the icon on the left of the text is kinda blurry.

I like the icon very much, but a sharper version would be nice.



- edit - When I enlarge the .exe in my Windows File Explorer, I do see a sharp / big icon, so it is "somewhere" present!

I believe that this problem is specific to Win11 (it looks fine in Win10). In fact, I only very recently noticed this myself even though I've been using win11 for about 1.5 years, but I had been using ExplorerPatcher to use the Win10 taskbar, and it looked fine to me.

I don't know why the Win11 taskbar changes the behavior but the good news is that PPv6 will take care of this by using the more modern Windows Notifier:

Cool. I forgot to mention that I do use Win11, indeed. Than I will wait and update to Pop Peeper 6 when it's available.

In addition, when using the new Windows notify object, for me a "delete" function should be nice.

I receive a lot of notify-messages which are only sometimes important.

Based on the subject (which is visible in the popup screen) I decide to "delete" or "view" the message at once.

9 out of 10 I delete those incoming status / notify-messages.

Not sure what the difference is between "dismiss" (cancel) and "ignore" (cancel).

See mockup (not sure this is possible).

POP Peeper is nothing if not highly customizable

Is this something for Pop Peeper version 6?

Or am I missing a bonus pack?

It's v6; the buttons shown in the first screenshot will be in v6.
