Hey all, So I'm giving my application an icon for the first time ever, and am having a damn difficult time with this.
I've installed both the png and svg icons into the correct place in the system: $ locate gottengeography|grep icon /usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/gottengeography.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/gottengeography.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/192x192/apps/gottengeography.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/gottengeography.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/gottengeography.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/gottengeography.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/gottengeography.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/36x36/apps/gottengeography.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/gottengeography.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/gottengeography.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/72x72/apps/gottengeography.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/96x96/apps/gottengeography.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/gottengeography.svg This part was easy to verify as it's the same place all the other icons are. Then I edit my .desktop file: $ cat gottengeography.desktop [Desktop Entry] Version=1.2.1 Name=GottenGeography GenericName=GottenGeography Comment=Tag your photographs with geolocation data easily. Exec=gottengeography Icon=gottengeography MimeType=x-content/image-dcf; Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Graphics;Photography; But the icon does not show up in in Gnome Shell at all. If I set the Icon= line to some other program's name, then that program's icon shows up in the Activities window, and the icons are in the same bloody folder that my icons are in. I checked the file permissions and ownership, they're identical. What gives? Are my icons invalid or something? I have been scouring the internet for literally *hours* and I cannot find any documentation about how to set an icon for an application in Gnome Shell. I feel like I've overlooked something incredibly obvious. Please help. -- http://exolucere.ca _______________________________________________ gnome-love mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-love
