for cmd window -- the easiest way would be to change your *.bat or *.cmd to *.exe -- write a few-lines C/C++ that has a line
system("java MyApplication [params]"); -- that would eliminate cmd prompt.
for the icon - you definitely have to use exe or dll - the icons are Win-dependent packaging and *.cmd won't do it.
Look into packaging tools, ie WinInstall, InstallAnywhere.

Change application's icons in Openbox

Hi,
I'm trying to change the icons of some common applications since three hours now. I set the icon-theme using lxappearance. It works for system icons like folders or different filetypes. But I remember, that the icons of applications like firefox or thunderbird changed too when i used one of the nuoveXT icon themes.
Is there a way to tell openbox and tint2 to use the themes icons?

lxappearance controls the GTK settings. You just set the gtk icon-theme. Openbox does not have any bindings to GTK. I'm not sure which icons you are refering to, do you mean the icons in the menu you get when middle-clicking on the desktop? Or do you mean the icons in the applications themselves?
Applications get to set their own icon. Many programs will use a function call that makes sure it gets the icon from the users icon-theme, or a default icon in case it doesn't exist. However, the Mozilla programs don't use this function, they just select a fixed icon.
Then there is WM-specific menus. Openbox does not support icons in the "right-click" menu, but in the "middle-click" menu it will just grab whatever icon the program set for itself. Other WMs do it differnetly, GNOME for example: Its menus display .desktop files located at /usr/share/applications, and those .desktop files can specify an icon name that will be looked up in the users icon-theme. That explains how your icon theme affected the icon shown in the GNOME menu (assuming that's what you used to use) but not the icon in the panel or in the window title.

Set Window & Panel Icons For Terminal Programs in Openbox

Hello
Arch Linux 64
openbox
tint2
ranger fm (example)
Perhaps I have not discovered the correct search terms to google this question & I may be just missing the obvious here. My Wife likes to have openbox with a tint2-vertical setup on her laptop. Is there a non-temporary way to set panel icons (and maybe window icons) for terminal based programs such as ranger, htop, ncmpcpp etc. After seaching I was able to set a icon I made for any terminal in the .xdefaults file. This does not allow the ability to distinguish between various terminal programs from the tint2 panel at a glance.
xterm*iconPixmap:/usr/share/pixmaps/xterm.xbm
xterm*iconMask: /usr/share/pixmaps/xterm-mask.xbm
i noticed in the /usr/share/pixmaps folder there are already xpm/png icons for htop and xterm, however It appears to set the xterm icon in .xdefaults it has to be a xbm file. xbm files are not as visually elegant as xpm imo and so far I was only able to set the same icon it for all open xterms.
so
1. can i set separate panel icons that appear in tint2's panel for different terminal based programs?
2. is it possible to use xpm or even png files for such icons?
I would appreciate any help or a link to a webpage.
Thank you.

I set up iCloud on my iMac with OS version 10.6.8 but I'm not able to have the icon show on my Dock with the other application icons. What do I do?

I set up iCloud on my iMac with OS version 10.6.8 but I'm not able to have the iCloud icon show in my Dock with the other application icons. What can I do? Is it because iCloud is not part of the 10.6.8 version? I clicked System Preferences and I saw MobileMe and no iCloud.

Thanks for your reply! Would my IMac be able to support the Mavericks (10.9) considering that I bought it in June 2011? Not sure if that even matters.

How can my application icons draw slowly?

I'm trying to trouble shoot how it's possible that my new MP 5,1 is slow to draw simple application icons when first opening the Applications folder, I see generic icons until they resolve to the actual ones.
My previous MP1,1 with dual 8-Core upgrade never did this and this machine, Apple assures me that my new MP while only a single Quad core is a faster processor, with faster RAM and a faster Graphics Card (Radeon HD 5770).
I’m running 10.7.5 Lion but when I boot off my Snow Leopard drive (kept for needed legacy non-Lion apps), this redraw issue doesn’t happen, which I assume implies this is a software vs. hardware issue?
AppleCare suggests I do a clean install on my Lion drive, which I haven’t done over several OS upgrades, which I really should do regardless as my system software is quite the Frankenstein conglomeration by now.
But I’m still wondering, if part of the issue might be my graphics card is inadequate in the Lion environment plus running 2 monitors and should I either get a 2nd 5770 card to have a separate card for each monitor, or maybe get a 5870 for the HP 30″ monitor and use the 5770 for my Cinema Display (which is more for holding extra Desktop files and tools windows from various apps both of which are low level use).
Or is the Radeon card I’ll conceived and to do it “right” I need to swap out to a higher faster card(s).
SPECS: 3.2 Quad Core, stock Radeon HD 5770 – running a 30″ HP LP3065 & good old 22″ Cinema Display, Lion 10.7.5
I’m also wondering if I goofed not getting the 3.3 GHz 6-Core processor instead of going with stock 3.2 Quad Core?
Or since the Snow Leopard drive draws fine with no lag time, that this is in fact probably a problem with my Lion drive and a clean install should speed things up?

Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.” While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem? After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

[Plasma-Next] Docky doesn't display application icons

Hello,
I have a fresh Arch + Plasma 5 install running on my machine. I have followed the arch-wiki to get it up and running. However I have installed Docky and it's shooting errors at me. The main issue is that it doesn't display most of the applications icons. Screenshot here. The order of the apllications is Docky Settings, Firefox, Konsole, Separator, Trashcan, Weather. I am using the default Breeze icon theme and switching to a different one didin't help.

Applications Icon in Dock looks like Address Book

Hi -
I'm suspicious about why my Applcations icon in the dock doesnt look like the Applications icon in the Finder window. Instead it looks like the Address Book with something hiding behind it. Really!
Is this correct?
If not, how do I remedy this?
Thanks,
J2
Message was edited by: Josh2000

I believe you have the folder set to "Display as Stack". In this display mode the dock icon tries to show you the icon representing the topmost object in the folder, which is usually Address Book in the case of the Applications folder. You can have the dock display the Applications folder as just a folder by clicking and holding the button down on the Applications dock icon (or control clicking on it) and selecting that option in the list of options that appears.

Application icon does not show up in iTunes - AdHoc distribution.

I set an icon of size 57 x 57 as the application icon. The icon shows up in the applications list of the iphone. When I bundle it for an adhoc distribution and add it to iTunes, the icon does not show up in the iTunes Application list. But it shows up on the iphone device that I copy to.
Am I missing something?

iTunes does not use the icon for display (the icon is only used on the phone itself). In order for iTunes to display the artwork as well, you need to create a 512x512 JPEG file named "iTunesArtwork" (no extension) and copy it into the application bundle (note that you will have to build the application again after this so that the code signature will sign the additional file as well).
This file should be same (other than the name) you load up to iTunesConnect as the 512x512 artwork.

Application Icon are not displayed during Clickonce installation in WPF Application

During Clickonce installation of WPF application, Icon File(ico) is not displayed in the start Menu and installed applications list in control panel..
Default icon only gets displayed.
In my project
Already added ico file in the "Icon and Manifest" in Application Properties.
Please answer me how to show Application Icon in the Start Menu as well as in installed applications in control panel

Did you do this:
http://learnwpf.com/post/2012/07/09/Adding-an-Icon-and-File-Association-to-WPF-Clickonce-Applications.aspx
You also set the ico file as the project icon.
Since that's under the Icon and Manifest I guess you did that.
Also
The main window ought to have it's icon set to thee icon.
The main window is the first window you open - which of course may or may not be called MainWindow.
Hope that helps.

Multiple Instances of Same Application Icons in iTunes App Folder

I recently sync'ed my iPhone to iTunes on my MBP. After doing so I noticed that in the iTunes application folder there was 2 icons for each of my application that I have. Only one icon though on my iPhone. Running a sync a third time I got 3 icons in the applications folder for each application, but again only one instance of the application icon on my iPhone.
I am not sure why this is occuring, but need some help to ensure that iTunes is reflecting the applications correctly.
Why this is importance, is I can now no longer update my paid applications, via the iPhone and the Apps Store shows I need the same update 3 times, but will not download, as it claims the update was already performed.
Something is messed up and need some guidance and help. PLEASE
Thanks

Yes, I migrated my iTunes directory, and after the migration, everything looked fine. Only one set of icons. It was not until I started to sync the itunes on my new MBP that the duplicating of icons started.
I try to delete the duplicate icons, but in doing so it will delete the application on the iPhone.
It there a registry that stores the icon to file associations?
If I look in the music/iTunes/Mobile Applications folder there is only 1 instance of the *.ipa for each application. So why does iTunes have 3 copies of the icons pointing to the one *.ipa file. There must be an internal itunes registry that has made the icon associations. That is what needs cleaning out. I just do not know where that would be, given there is only one *.ipa file under the iTunes file structure.
Can anyone help determine how to clean up the multiple icons?
Thanks

App-V 5.0 SP1 application icons not showing up

Hi,
I've set up clean App-V 5.0 SP1 environment (Server, Sequencer and Clients). Published applications works when accessing them from %Localappdata%\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Integration\... folder, but for some reason the application shortcut icons are not showing
up correctly either in start menu or in desktop (defined desktop folder for shortcuts in App-V Server settings just for test).
So, there is this shortut on start menu, but it's not showing application icon and when opening shortcut properties it does not show application, it only shows "start in" folder (which is %localappdata%\etc..).
I've tried this now on Windows 7, Windows 8 and on 2008R2 server (rds client). Same "error" appears on all machines, and application icon is not showing up correctly.
Matti

That sounds very strange. Have you checked out the event viewer logs? You should enable the Advanced view and check them out. Also may be worth while making a copy of the .appv file and renaming it to zip, opening up and looking for the shortcuts in the
AppXManifest.XML file...see if you notice anything a miss there. Also the most obvious would be to take a copy of the package, open it for upgrade and ensure the shortcuts appear under Shortcuts and FTAs.

Application Icons appear in Album application. Please provide folder management!!!

Application icons are appearing in the Album Gallery view. This makes it difficult to find pictures when application icons make up the majority of the pictures.
The .nomedia file method has been attempted which removes the picture from Folder view but the pictures still remain in the Gallery (Home) View.
The Album application would greatly benefit (as well as its users) from have a folder management function that allowed a folder to be manually ignored (or included) and for that setting to be instantly reflected in the Gallery View.
Re-installing the Album app to remove unwanted pictures every time another new application is added to the phone is not an acceptable solution.
Also as the Album application currently stands there is no explanation as to why the Folder list contains the list of folders that it does. There is no explanation of the mechanism for how Folders arrive on the folder list and why certain applications when installed create a new folder while other applications do not!
I.e: My folder list is full of folders I have no want of and some folders not even an understanding of.
Basic rule of programming is the AA principal if you cant make it Accurate make it Adjustable.

Are application icons embedded objects?

I'm using Access 2010 with an .accdb format file. I tried to add a custom icon as the application icon in options. This works fine on my machine but does not appear to transfer to other machines, i.e., the .accdb when opened on another machine
displays the default Access icon. I had assumed that the icon was embedded once it was set in options. Must the actual icon file be present and accessible at the path specified for it in options for all users? That would seem rather silly.
As per usual with Access 2010 I can't find any good documentation on this.

That icon is indeed not embedded. I always put my application icon in a shared folder on a server...usually the same folder as the back end. I'm talking about a split database with the users having a local front end and linked tables to the back end.
If you haven't got to that step yet make sure you have the icon in the same folder as the database and give the icon's path the full path.

The color of applications icon changed to dark color, what does it mean

it happened twice, applications icon changed from red to dark red for a while?

Hello Omar,
Maybe you've found out by now but I believe it's because the apps are 'refreshing'. I think this is new to iOS 7 because I don't remember it happening before...
If you go into your settings-->general--> and about halfway down the list is BACKGROUND APP REFRESH.
I wish I could include a picture to make it easier but if you go into this setting you will see a list of all the apps that will refresh and also the master switch that turns them all off.. I'm not sure what it's doing when it's refreshing tho, maybe checking for updates or location?
Hope this helps,
Mister

Unable to replace the default icon with the application icon for SIS files on packaging

Hi,
I got hold of the earlier (now removed from Adobe) available Adobe Mobile Packager (the free version). Now the problem is that I see the default packager icon on my phone for my Flash Lite application. Also, the packager does not allow me to select my application icon. I have placed the desired icon in the output folder along with its svg; doesn't help either.

You mentioned that you implemented loopback merge mode. It's possible some of the settings being included in the merge are interfering with your new file associations. Have you checked to see if there are any conflicting file
associations in other GPOs that may be applying? If so, you may want to experiment with loopback
replace mode.
Also check to see if any file associations are being set in the computer configuration settings, since you are attempting to set associations in the user configuration. In a merge scenario the computer policy is processed after the user policy, and
has precedence if any of the settings conflict.
