And still no way to choose the obsolete icon. The app and file type icon is the only reason I’m sticking with 6.9.2.

And the award-winner for the dumbest reason ever to use an ancient version of a software program goes to…YOU.
Sorry, but that is really, really, really dumb.

@Alan-Kilborn The old version does everything I really NEED it to do, and I prefer to use a program that uses file-type icons that look like word documents, not some random green bullshit.

Then why come here to comment on it? Live on in your happy obsolescence. :-)

Seriously, though, aren’t there reasonable ways to get any icons you want using the OS instead of Notepad++ 's control?
If that aspect of the discussion is to be continued, respectfully request that you open a new discussion thread, as this one is sort of reserved for real 8.1 problems.

Themes are only installed to %APPDATA%\Notepad++\themes of the user who installed N++. Other users never get these (no themes at all in my case, see earlier post).
From my point of view this is a concept error. Default themes should be in %ProgramFiles%\Notepad++\themes and %APPDATA%\Notepad++\themes supersede these. I hope this would also fit the “settings in the cloud” approach.

This issue will be fixed in the next release:

The is a regresion with the Style Token feature (under right click). For instance: write “RECONCILE” and “UNRECONCILE”. Select RECONCILE and apply a Style Token color. Before it would hightlight both RECONCILE from both words, even on UNRECONCILE (not highlighting “UN” as expected).

No regression – check your settings here:

Thanks for the Helpful Suggestions. I think I figured out why it’s doing this, but I don’t know how to fix it. The app is installed on my OS drive, which is an SSD, but it seems Notepad++ is waiting for my other drives, which are regular HDD to spin up before it launches.
