I was sharing a desktop with someone today, and I saw the Autohotkey icon in the system tray. I asked about it and found out that it was the icon for Bellsouth DSL Help Center.

Check out this page... (sorry about the long link)
http://help.bellsouth.net/bellsouth/asp/contentview.asp?isbrowse=true&sprt_cid=20beb439%2D829a%2D4a28%2Daf08%2Dbaaa75932c09

Note that the color of the icon may look a bit dark on the web page, but when I looked at it on the person's desktop it looked *exactly* the same as Autohotkey's (same color).

Well, a shared desktop needs to be (image) captured. Otherwise the link you provided will give you (and me, and others) a new session of the BS Online Support page which indeed shows no H-icon at all as its a standard webpage and no shared desktop. Prove me wrong. Cool

Bobo, I have no idea what you are talking about. Requires an image? Shared desktop?

Are you trying to say that you can't access the URL that I posted?

If you get a page that says something about not being able to determine your service, just click on the FastAccess DSL link, then enter in the URL I posted. You will find the image there.

You can also use this shorter URL just to get into the site:
http://help.bellsouth.net/bellsouth/asp/home.asp - Then use the long one to see the image.

When you get to the first page (using the first posted link) click on Fast Access DSL, and you will see. It is actually very similar.



A screenshot of the application posted on the same page...



Wierd.

I see. Well, there is not much ways to put a capital H in a 16x16 icon with gradient background.
Classical gradients simulating natural lighting put light on (above) top left corner, so they are the same here. This one is blue, with white letter, which provides a good contrast.
Beside that, AHK's H is less squared, and Bell's icon is outlined.
I must admit it is striking on first look, but that's just an amusing coincidence.

As I tried to say in my first post, the web page did not, IMO, show the icon correctly. When I saw this on a users desktop it really looked like the ahk icon to me. If someone could install the software and check it out that would be great. I may try to install it on a VM, if I get the time.
