All of my 2.1 and 2.2 builds (windows and linux) show the cZ icon.


Must be only for the active users of ChatZilla. I don't use Chatzilla
and the bottom Component-Bar's Cz icon shows fine in the same build as
Tony's, in both Default Classic and Modern Theme:-
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:7.0a1) Gecko/20110701 Firefox/7.0a1
SeaMonkey/2.4a1 ID:20110701003111


Barry I use cZ so being an active user probably isn't an issue. So I'm
still confused&  reckon only Tony can clarify.


Recent builds of SeaMonkey, but I don't know how recent, maybe only 2.4a1, will install the built-in ChatZilla (and the built-in DOM Inspector and the built-in Javascript Debugger) in your profile, but:

- only if there was a change in the SeaMonkey version, AND
- only if there isn't already an equal or newer version of the same extension in the profile.

This implies that if you're using nightlies, and some bug is fixed in ChatZilla between one nightly and the next, you won't get the fix until the next SeaMonkey version unless you forcibly reinstall the fixed version. OTOH if you have installed ChatZilla from AMO, that profile copy will be overridden by the copy built into the _next_ version of SeaMonkey if it's newer: you won't be stranded forever with an obsolete version in your profile.

There is no usable ChatZilla anymore under the application installation directory: you get the following:

<installdir>/extensions/
        only the default and Modern themes
<installdir>/distribution/extensions/
        the built-in extensions. They cannot be used directly from here.
<profile>/extensions/
        your extensions and themes, including any built-in extensions

This install into the profile is made while checking for extensions' compatibility, and it will install ChatZilla in "packed" mode, leaving the unpacked XPI in your profile, even though ChatZilla requests unpack-at-install.

The "packed" ChatZilla works, maybe even faster since there aren't many files to be fetched at different places on your HD, but its icon on the OS taskbar (NOT the icon on the SeaMonkey statusbar) is the "default" SeaMonkey icon (same blue icon as for the browser), not the grey cZ icon specific of ChatZilla.

If you install ChatZilla yourself from AMO, or from "somewhere on your HD", it will install in "unpacked" mode (a directory and a number of files and directory inside), and the image passed to the OS for display on the taskbar is a separate "image" file, not something inside an XPI, so the OS can display it.


Best regards,
Tony.
