That also happens to me, aswell the Rayman 2 icon turning from Rayman's face into the RAY2 logo in white.

Switching resolutions and colors (which DOSBox does in fullscreen) could cause the Windows icon cache to mess up for a bit. In most cases, the scheduled cache refreshes will do (those reload all icon images, you'll remember that when booting up or installing/uninstalling software) but in extreme cases, you could update your icon cache manually.

It's just how Windows recovers after you get out of the custom color mode for Rayman. Just refresh it (right click and select, or again, hit F5).

Refreshing won't always work, as it just refreshes all icons from cache back to memory, rebuilding the cache requires you to detete a hidden file in your user folder, or wait for Windows to do so by itself. Forgot all the details..

Strange.... never ever happened to me>

Rayman 2 logo was always just a face of rayman.
and as well as rayman 3, but just not with those fucked up colors. I'm sure it's not that big of a deal, in fact it's actually quite funny :wink:
