Vorkosigan-inspired one, do like this:
- Download the file mz1extra.zip and "unzip" it to
a temporary folder. There should be 2 files, you will be using only one of them:
- "vkcc3.ico", a Vorkosigan ComConsole icon (image).
- Move the file "vkcc3.ico" from the temporary folder to the Mozilla Firefox
program folder, usually "C:\Program files\Mozilla Firefox\".
- Now you can change the Mozilla icons in the Start menu
and on the desktop to "vkcc3.ico".
