OpenVPN-GUI Replace Windows System Tray Icons

As of this writing, the OpenVPN-GUI system tray icon is very similar to the Windows 10 wired network icon, making it difficult to distinguish the two at a glance. This gist provides color swapped versions of the default OpenVPN icon to match the three (3) connection states, i.e., disconnected, connecting, and connected.

Icons

Using a resource editor, the user can modify their copy of the openvpn-gui.exe binary file to use the new icons. This gist includes a sample Resource Hacker script for this purpose, see "replace-tray-icons.txt".

Usage: ResourceHacker.exe -script replace-tray-icons.txt

The sample script assumes the openvpn-gui.exe file is in the same directory. Modify the Open and Save parameters to change this as needed.
