Different icons for Blender nightly/2.8
Here's a quick idea that I'm sure has crossed the minds of many people. Would it be possible to have a "different" icon for nightly builds, and/or a different icon for 2.8 while it's under development? The reason I ask is because I have two Blenders on my taskbar, 2.79 and 2.8, but the icons both look the same and I think it would be cool if whatever is still unstable or under development had a different icon, something like this:
I'm only making a suggestion. A color could be used like chrome vs chromium. The mainidea is to bring an icon that is different from the stable version so we who have multiple versions can tell more easily which icon launches which version of Blender!

Yes, really useful. it can get confusing, especially if you are relying on the "official" release for work and the nightly build to play.
I did this for a while, back when I had time to compile blender 2.8 myself. Unfortunately, I don't have this time now, and I lost my custom icon since then. :(
But it was damn useful, having both daily 2.8 and stable 2.79 in my taskbar, I couldn't confuse them together.
on one of our last shows I made a black, white and yellow logo for our internal rnd builds. looked like a frying pan with an egg....y'know, for the "what's cooking" build.
haha this is a super useful idea. As of now I have my 2 Blender icons seperated on my taskbar to avoid confusion.
But is this not possible these days?
See the preset themes

@Craig Jones: Make it bright red, so you know you're using bleeding edge ;)
or create your own icon, and add it to the shortcut?
