    Is there a way to have Rectangular Icons?


    Vertical or horizontal rectangles instead of squared ones. It's quite annoying to cut something off the poster so it fits right with the Windows icon shape.

    Something like this but not only on desktop.

    Normally, if the whole image (landscape or portrait shaped one) was converted into an icon, an annoying space on the sides or top and bottom will result.

    GPU-Z Program Icon Submission

    Suggestion to have an option to change Notification Area icon this way too.
    Suggestion to finally have proper separate Options window like most (all?) Windows programs do.

    PDF text is rectangular & unreadable

    Our Senior Center provides us with monthly pdf newsletters.
    --- At their office those newsletters are readable.

    They have a third-party company that sends them out via an email distribution list.
    --- Until June 2018 they were readable.
    --- However, starting in July 2018 something changed, the text is no longer readable as characters are in rectangular form.
    --- The graphics for events & ads were still fine.

    That's 4 months in a row now: I'd like to investigate possible causes.
    --- Advice please
    --- On those rectangular boxes, is there a technical name for them?
