1) LateralGM can be re-branded, but there's a certain value in being able to differentiate between LGM, Enigma, and The Plugin, especially for hunting down bugs. 2) Don't care, although the paper might make sense on Debian Linux because that's kinda the de-facto standard (looking at torrent, they have a down arrow on a paper). The package icon usually indicates to me that it is a zip-like structure that can probably be renamed to zip and extracted. This is not the case with GM. It will be the case with the new Enigma Format - of which we haven't defined a solid extension. 3) This *should* be defined by the IDE, and I mean fully LGM-side (not plugin). Currently LGM handles the icon, with a default (except for GM's default) set to LGM's Red Ball without the "LGM" letters inside. That was essentially a placeholder, and can be changed, but more importantly right now, whatever it is, it should be displayed in the running game. It is not because the backend was never coded to support it.

@IsmAvatar: I understand the concerns. The fact is LGM != LGM+ENIGMA. Maybe a combined icon for the application? I guess the branding issue also propagates to GMK files(since they are only used by ENIGMA indirectly). Maybe a LGM paper for GMK, and an ENIGMA paper for ENI files(or whatever they are called)? This could end up looking inconsistent, though... 3) This *should* be defined by the IDE, and I mean fully LGM-side (not plugin). Currently LGM handles the icon Oh. I forgot that detail.

I suppose that a paper would work for GM projects, but the box for ENIGMA? The box indicates some kind of package, and never, ever, does it mean "rename to .zip and extract." Although, usually, it means extract - and ENIGMA's format will do this. Maybe a red icon for GM projects and a blue one for ENIGMA, to indicate the difference?
