The new installers for Windows and Linux has no icon issues or noticeable changes.
Note: Windows Defender SmartScreen did came up because the new installer is not signed.
There was an issue with the Mac icons not updating on the toolbar. After further investigating, Dr. Freese found another spot in the code base where IGB images are being stored and we've confirmed that these are the images that need to be updated for the toolbar icon to appear correctly as a squircle. The PR has been updated to incorporate those changes. Please re-build the installers and re-test the Mac installer for any issues.
New installers are built and ready for re-testing.

Next step:
- Let's push the branch to the main repository for safekeeping
- Revisit later when closer to making a new release
To-do:
- Push branch IGBF-4390 to lorainelab team repo
Apple has mandated that app icons must fit their "squircle" shape guidelines as of the latest MacOS update. I've used Apple's free app Squircle: Resize App Icons to convert our logo to the required squircle format.
I have tested the look of this new logo locally. To do this, I followed instructions I found online which said to right-click the IGB app in Finder, select "Get Info," and drag the new squircle icon file onto the small app icon in the top-left corner of the Info window. See attached for the results.
