Icons and cosmetics for applications
During the Create Application Wizard on Application Catalog step there is possibility to add some beautiful icon. BUT! The icon (.ico) size is limited to 250x250. Could you make it possible to add an icon file with picture size at least 256x256 (which is quite common size for pictures in .ico files)? Another thing as well, the icons in SCCM Applications/Packages list (Software Library-Overview-Application Management-Applications). They look all the same! Could you make them more attractive, say, the way they look in Application Catalog? Otherwise, whats the point in Icon column (which appears, by the way, as a default columns set: Icon, Name, Deployment Types, Deployment, etc)

Marking as complete since this capability is now available in 1710 release.

Lenny Poppenhagen,
As workaround I'm using this command:
function New-CMApplicationIcon {
[OutputType([Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.ApplicationManagement.Icon])]
param(
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[System.IO.FileInfo]$File
)
if ($File -ne $null -and $File.Exists) {
$Image = [System.Drawing.Image]::FromFile($File.FullName)
$Icon = New-Object Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.ApplicationManagement.Icon($Image)
return $Icon
}
}
$DisplayInfo = New-CMApplicationDisplayInfo -LanguageId 9 -Title "App Title" -Description "App Description."
$DisplayInfo.Icon = New-CMApplicationIcon -File "\\PathToTheFile"
$Application = New-CMApplication -AppCatalog $DisplayInfo -

Can you please fix the powershell commandlet that for setting the icon file to be whatever the new max is? I use powershell to add my software to sccm and when using the commandlet New-CMApplication -IconLocationFile I receive:
WARNING: The maximum size of an icon is 250px X 250px.
Thanks -
