You can also use xoEditor to change the shape of the XO icon. By moving the cursor onto the XO icon in the center of the screen, draggable "knot-points" are revealed. By moving these points, the shape of the icon is changed. As noted above, by clicking on the XO icon in the lower left of the screen, the original shape is restored.

'''Note:''' In Version 1, there is a mismatch between the screen coordinates and the position of the knot points, so this feature is difficult to use.
