Alternative larger number icon for LabVIEW (toolbar)

Status: New

Related to Darren's (implemented in 2014) idea here, Include LabVIEW Version Number in Application Icon, I'd like to ask if the number could be a bit bigger, perhaps as an alternative icon found in the LabVIEW.exe.

 

If I browse for possible icons (without providing my own file), I see these options:

The first (default) icon is great, but on a 4k monitor without DPI scaling, it can be a bit tricky to read on the taskbar (that 19 is pretty small).

 

Could an alternative icon (not the default) be provided with a larger number, taking up more of the total space?

Its a shame NI took the version number away somewhere between 2016 and 2019 (I don't remember which version they did it with) for the task bar.

Ok, I stand corrected in my previous comment.  It is the fact I use the small icons in the taskbar.  When I enable the large icons, I see the version number in the icon for 2019 and 2020.  I was given an example of the icon in 2016 using the Create Project window.  Here is a screenshot of it overlayed with what I see in 2019.  It could be another Windows setting, but this is what I see.
