Problem Description
I currently have two versions of FreeTube installed - Stable and Nightly. However, there is a problem with distinguishing between the versions when both are, for example, pinned to the dock on Mac or the taskbar on Windows.
Proposed Solution
The problem can be solved by changing the icon of the Nightly version of the application, for example, by slightly changing the colors in the logo (example below). This will make it straightforward to distinguish which version of the application is running.
The only difference between the nightlies and the release versions are the version numbers, they install to the same location, use the same storage location, same app name and URL scheme. To have both installed at the same time, you the user have to go out of your way to install them into two separate locations and pass a commadline argument every time you launch them to make them use different storage locations.
So no we won't be adding a different icon, because they are only different if you the user pretend they are and you are only supposed to have one version installed at a time.
