You might not realize this, but there’s actually another icon hidden inside the Google Chrome executable file—and it’s a high-quality version of the same logo, but golden. Here’s how to use it.


Enabling the Hidden Gold Icon
All you have to do is open up the shortcut Properties screen and head to Change Icon.


You must login or register to view this content.


Inside the Change Icon dialog you’ll find a bunch of icons—sadly, the other 3 are low-resolution icons, but you can switch to the gold one from here.

RIP PICHU.
Ehh, I don't like messing with my icons as I usually turn them into a vagina by the end of the day, but nice find. Happy

I use Canary build because I feel it is better. The golden chrome is already defaulted. xD
