I don't know how the IBar works, so I don't know what it has to do with desktop files. But yes, it sounds like you are right. >> Why are so many apps missing icons? Terminal is the most obvious... >> > you havent selected an icon theme? I'm not clear what relevance a theme has here. There is only one theme, the default, it seems to be called "Dark". The problem I describe occurs in a freshly-installed system (Ubuntu 14.4) immediately after installing e17 (and logging out and back in with e). No configuration has taken place yet. There is no choice of themes (that I am aware of). > the one selected is invalid or not there? > configure an icon theme. I can't see where to do this: there is nothing about icon themes in Settings > Settings Panel. In any case, I'm not clear why should I configure a theme in order to make an application in the IBar have an icon. The icons should be present by default but many are missing. 1. right-click on an icon in the IBar 2. pick IBar 3. pick Contents Look at the list of applications: many icons are missing. This is the problem. If you add one of those applications to the IBar, it appears with no icon. ///Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
