Are you going to do a different Icon. The one that comes with the game must be one of the worst looking icons I have ever seen. I had to change it last night, it was making my desktop look crap!

I agree, I can honestly say that I don't even know what that icon is supposed to be !! Maybee Firaxis should have a contest for naming it - and like give out prizes for the best idea. A good prize structure could be 1st place - nothing
2nd place - a free patch
3rd place - 2 free patches....etc.

And all this time I though my computer had done somthing funkey to the icon. They made that icon on purpose? ough.. Well there's one that got by quality control.

You won't have that problem when you have installed "Windows Plus". Then you have the option to display icons with higher resolutions. But you're right. Without 'Plus' it looks crappy. But hey, it's the game that counts, not the icon.

I don't know what you guys are talking about.. the Icon looks pristine in full color mode...
I think your problem is your not displaying icons will all available colors..
Try getting a demo of Microangelo 98 and change that setting using its engineering program.. It makes almost any icon look better..
