As you can see in the attached screenshot, the installer icons look pretty jagged next to the IE7 installer's as well as those for FF and Bon Echo.
OS: Windows XP → Windows Vista
Attached image New icon to use
The reason the icon looks jagged is because the icon included in the installer only has 16-color and 256-color images.  The smoothness seen in Vista (and in XP) comes from the use of 32-bit-color images (16M colors + alpha channel).  This attached icon is identical to the one currently in use except that it has the 32-bit-color images restored and should thus look smooth on XP/Vista.

fyi: iirc the current icon had the 32 bit images removed to decrease the installer size and the size increase is approximately 10K

I'm not sure if this is a blocking bug, tbh, since the installer is a pretty transient thing, but 10k seems like a small price to pay for professionalism.

Icon looks good to me on trunk using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9a2pre) Gecko/20070130 Minefield/3.0a2pre. Will verify on branch when I launch that build.
i can confirm #11 looks good on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US;

verifying fixed on the 1.8 branch, using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2pre) Gecko/2007020604 BonEcho/2.0.0.2pre. The icon looks very crisp, in comparison to the Seamonkey installer icon which is quite jagged (hint to Seamonkey folks to fix their icon on Vista). Adding verified keyword.
