Block Icon for Launcher

Hello, I have an idea for the new launcher:

 

In the 2.0 launcher, there was a cool thing: block icon for versions.

You let it on the latest version of the launcher ( 06/14/2019 ) while we were creating a new version but you've forgotten to add something there was before. 

These icons were so great! I always used to use them. Optifine with an emerald block, forge with a diamond one[...]

Now, in the new launcher,

the icons are not visibles.

Please, can you add them in order to be quickier when choosing the version?

 

Thank you!

    This is my main problem with the new launcher. The number one rule for upgrading something is don't remove something useful you already have. If you look at the screenshots above you can see it was much easier to tell the profiles apart with the formatting. They are profiles, btw, not necessarily different installations.

    Please also change the 'Latest Snapshot' icon back to a Crafting table or allow us to change it. A larger Play button would be nice too.

    Yes please, I'd love to see that reimplemented. I mean it still is in there, just in a far weaker and more useless state as it only appears on the currently selected profile and not in the list itself.

    Now you can change the icon for the installation. I have April fools snapshots and their block is a cake, because the cake is a lie.

    Additional request:

    You can change the icon for any installation with an exception for:

    • Latest Release
    • Latest Snapshot

    Which is a shame in my opinion. They both have a fixed icon.

    My suggestion:

    Allow changing the icon for these versions as well.
