Separate icons for 32 bit and 64 bit version of LabVIEW

Status: Completed

Implemented in LabVIEW 2014

I like to have shortcuts to my applications on my Win7 taskbar.

 

But the icons for the 32 bit and LV 64 bit versions of LV are indistinguishable from each other (without rolling over the icon).

 

NI should provide a slightly different icons for the two different versions of the app.

As seen above ... which version of LabVIEW is running?  64 bit or 32 bit?

I have the same problem with LabVIEW 2010 and LabVIEW 2011.

Yes, it would be wonderful if there were some indication in the title bar or in the logo so that I could know what version of LabVIEW I'm in.  I support projects against multiple versions of LabVIEW 2010, 2011, 2012, etc.  and also some in 32 and some in 64 (some bridging both) and it is very confusing and time consuming trying to keep track of which window is open in each version of LabVIEW.  I also have a problem specifying which version of LabVIEW I want a VI or project to open in, although this may be more of a Microsoft problem / challenge.
