Since I don't like the workbench as the minecraft icon, I tried to use a resource pack to change it. I made a folder in the resource packs folder named "Icon Fix". Inside it contained the pack.png and pack.mcmeta from the 1.6.1.jar. Also, there was an "assets" folder that contained a "minecraft" folder that contained the "icons" folder. In the "icons" folder, I added an "icon_16x16.png" and "icon_32x32.png" to change the icons used in the window and on the taskbar. The "icon_16x16.png" was 16x16 and the "icon_32x32" was 32x32. I do not understand why it did not work. The resource pack I made is attached in a zipped folder.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Yep. As are most issues, because 90% of open bugs (99% of smaller, less noticeable bugs) are still present if they are not noted as fixed by Mojang. Heck, transition hearts still don't work and unknown pack icons were broken AGAIN (despite them adding more things with transition hearts, and fixing unknown pack icons once before). I have made an issue about the reticle texture not being centered and I don't think anybody on this site has even seen it (of course it will probably never get fixed...).
Why ask if an issue still occurs and then close it "works as intended"?
If someone at Mojang has said something about it, fine, but Dinnerbone's readme file in .minecraft/assets where the icon folder is says "If you wish to modify assets/resources in any way, use Resource Packs.". ANY way, and the icons are in the assets folder. That seems to me like it is intended that you are, like currently EVERY other file in the assets folder, able change them with a resource pack. If this is not intended, then they should move the game icons into a separate location (like inside the the launcher jar/exe or minecraft jars' root) that will not suggest it is a possibility to replace.
Same exact issue here too (on Ubuntu, though). I'm in the same boat as you with not liking the texture, but it also does not display properly, the middle of the workbench is transparent (like someone erased a line out of it).
I'd like to see this fixed so I don't have to look at the buggy workbench icon.
EDIT: The launcher shouldn't use the grassblock as an icon, though. It should use a chest or something (because you can have multiple .JARs sort of like managing an inventory), and the workbench is already the "icon" for MCAPI at least here on Mojira.
