Changing the the Icon into a box thing with dots on the side ... may work for the generic nerd ... but maybe not for everyone out there.

i would suggest a simple text in the same way over the button like its for Build type and Version.
like this:

calani closed this task as Closed.

While I sort of agree, two things:

  1. the text will not fit. Click Dedicated Server and watch that space get eaten.
  2. and more importantly: I'm planning on consolidating all of the launcher settings into a single settings window, which will make this ticket irrelevant anyway.

That said, the icon is apparent enough for now, so I'm closing this.

Also: I may re-use this icon in the consolidated settings window, but likely not as it will have plenty of room for text.
