    I don't see anything wrong here. Icons on the right side have less space so they need different icon. As for the different Hub and Editor icons, this way you can quickly tell apart if it's editor or hub on the taskbar...

    I personally like the black editor icon a lot :)

    I feel like the package manager should retain the same icon(but bigger) when in the task bar. I also think that something other than a negative color swap would be more appropriate for it for separating it from the editor icon
     
    transat and richardkettlewell like this.

    here is what's wrong:
    1. They're inconsistent: white on black in the dock, black on white in the taskbar
    2. black on white and white on black register the same to the brain so a more differentiated icon look is better
    3. progress bar no longer shows up in the icon, big deal when you're running multiple instances, building and baking
