Description
This is crazy, and probably only me, but I always have `MacDown` and `Mailbox` open. They both have electric blue icons with white insignias in them surrounded by white rings, and both start with the letter "M". I always have difficulty when `cmd`+`tab`ing remembering which is which.
Maybe nobody else has this problem. It's obscure. It only happens with these two apps together. It involves a failure of all the mnemonic devices particular to my brain. It's such a corner case and so ridiculous, but it drives me crazy every day.
I'm willing to do the different icon color options and add a little `blue/green/orange` option to preferences.
Maybe other folks would think it's cool to have different colored icons.
Would you be open to a PR for this?
