Describe the bug
After updating to 1.53 the icon when pinned to the taskbar, and not open, uses the old green icon. It still launches vscodium and the open window uses the blue and white icon as expected. However, when opened the icon in the top left of the window is yet another, different icon.

I noticed this after an upgrade, not sure if the same behavior is present on new installations.

Start Menu icon seems to be the correct blue and white one.

Please confirm that this problem is VSCodium-specific

  • This bug doesn't happen if I use Microsoft's Visual Studio Code. It only happens in VSCodium.

Please confirm that the issue/resolution isn't already documented

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Update VSCodium to 1.53
  2. Observe pinned taskbar icon
  3. Observe running taskbar icon
  4. Observe window icon

Expected behavior
All icons are consistent

Switching back to the old icon did not fix this consistency issue.
