Traffic Cone Christmas Hat! (It's funny)

[Sonic Angel Knight]

I'm kinda new to VLC player, so I was just curious, is this normal? I didn't notice this until now when i saw it in my taskbar but does this happen normally? I was curious if i missed a update but I haven't gotten any in a few months. Is just a easter egg right? Almost like some games have holiday theme stuff based on the clock of the system.

This is something VLC has done this time of year for forever.

For most of December and January, VLC's icon changes to that. It has always been like this for as long as the program has been out, a nice touch!
