[SOLVED] Set icons for applications in XFCE

Hi,
I was wondering if I can specify the icons for applications. Currently my gVim is using a "general" icon when in the panel but has the right icon when I create a launcher. This is how it looks like. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi,
Yep, I have a gvim.desktop in /usr/share/applications. What it contains is:
Type=Application
TryExec=gvim
Exec=gvim
Icon=gvim
Terminal=false
Type=Application
TryExec=gvim
Exec=gvim
Icon=gvim
Terminal=false
There is also gvim.png in /usr/share/pixmaps.

Custom Icon for application file

I can make director allow me to have a custom icon for appliacation file.
In director I have attempted this several times where I have tried to have my appliaction file have an icon. I have purchased two icon program Candy Bar and Fastincs trying to remedy this problem.
As you see here I am using an ins file created in Fastincs. Now here is an image to the path and the icon itself Applipcations/ Adobe Director 11/3 HorseLogo.mac.ins
So there is the setup now when I complile for my program file I get this.
See the grey Director icon I don't want that I want the three horse logo.
I also tried to assign the logo after publishing the file.
then I drag my icon file in
The program created in director still wont see the icon file.
If I use Candy bar (icon application) I get a different result. The icon works
in both finder and on the task bar
This is exactly what I want.
I works until I try to move the entire package into an installer program I am using BitRock. When I compile the installation program then try to run the application I get the following message
If I choose ignore the install continues. But I have no icon.
I am desperate , weeping , screaming , and almost a lost cause, any help any help at all I could really use.
Thanks

Hi Robin,
I'm more of a PC person rather than Mac. I would recommend you look at the Resource and Icon Editor page at:
http://collab.directorforum.com/Resource_and_Icon_Editor
It may fix your icon issue from Director.

Getting icons for application

Hi all,
I'm adding new features to the application I'm working on, and am looking for Icons for the new features. I can't design icons, never had any experience, but they are very common icons (a phone and an email icon). Just wondering is there any free repository of icons that I could use on the web? I persume it wouldn't be legal to screen grab from MS word/outlook or thunderbird or something like that?
thanks,
Justin

thanks for that. But is there an extended set of java icons? The icons I need wern't there unfortunately.
thanks,

Does Lion OS come with new icons for applications?

I accidentally deleted the default icons for System Preferences and some other apps on my Macbook Pro and was going to reinstall Leopard to get the default icons back. After they announced Lion OS, I wonder, would installing Lion come with new default icons?

You must be running Snow Leopard in order to install Lion regardless of the icon issue.
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
Apple - OS X Lion - Get Lion in July. Only from the Mac App Store.
You can reinstall Leopard without erasing the startup disk but as with any installation, backup all important files first.

Icons for applications now showing up in itunes

For some reason when I add a new application to my iTunes applications for my iphone the display icon does not show up in iTunes. It just gives a generic icon. Is there any way to fix this? I have tried several things with no positive results.
Any one else have this issue or had it and resolved it?

Again, I have fixed the problem myself with NO SUPPORT from ANYONE HERE! AGAIN THANKS FOR NOTHING!!
But I will share my solution. I had moved my iTunes folder with all my artwork to another drive but that drive is no longer connected and left in the shortcut to that folder. However for some reason my iTunes was able to see artwork for my songs but not for the apps. I repointed it to another folder and the icons started returning to the apps I had downloaded.
Once again I am my own best tech support! Hands DOWN!

Icons for Applications corrupted

When Adobe reader 8.1 installed on a Vista operating system, the Adobe icons take over other application's icons and render them non-functional. Must uninstall the application so as to access MS Word, MS Excell, and Explorer. Have done this several times, and the same result occurs.

Generic document icons for applications in Simple Finder

I have an account setup with Parental Controls and using the Simple Finder. In the My Applications folder of the simple finder, all of the apps show up with the default blank document icon instead of the correct application icon. How do I fix this?

Hi Warren -
I imagine you already tried this, but just to be sure, did you change the default .tiff app in Finder? Does that change the icon? If so, what happens when you then change the default back to your app?
If the above doesn't help, what happens when you change the Bundle Name and Executable File name of your app, then set the default .tiff app to the "new" app? Not saying this is practical if you've already distributed your app, but it might help to know the result.
Here's some misc info that may give you more ideas: [http://ask.metafilter.com/67832/Changing-filetypes-icons-in-OS-X].
Btw, we have at least two or three experts around here who will probably know exactly what to do. I'm only filling in until one of them shows up. So if none of the above is useful, stay tuned.

I need to create dock icons for application install using packagemaker

Hi all,
I am using Packagemarker to create an install for our corporate MS Office 2011 software but I need to be able to add the apps to the dock as well. Could use applescript if packagemaker is not the right app for that!
Anyone know how to accomplish this pls.
Thanks

AIR File Icon (For Native Installer)

Hi,
I am generating AIR application as native installer (.exe). I want to have a custom icon for my .exe file.
I have specified the icons in application descriptor file as
<icon>
                    <image16x16>icon...</image16x16>
                    <image32x32>icon...</image32x32>
                    <image48x48>icon...</image48x48>
                    <image57x57>icon...</image57x57>
                    <image72x72>icon...</image72x72>
                    <image114x114>icon...</image114x114>
                    <image128x128>icon...</image128x128>
          </icon>
But this icon does not appear to be .exe file icon, It appears as application installed file icon. I want to have different icons for application installed icon (Application Icon) and separate icon for application installer (.air or .exe file custom icon)
Kindly suggest any solution

In this case you need to update installer icon manually via third-party app like freeware "ResourceHacker" http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/

Custom icon in application builder

I am trying to create an executable with custom icon using Application Builder in LabVIEW.
I converted a .png image to .ico for the icon, but when I select that .ico file as a custom icon, I get the following message:
"The selected file doesn't contain all of the needed icons. Without them, your application will show an incorrect icon in some views.
Missing icons:
32X32, 16 color
16X16, 16 color."
Any comments\suggestions on how to get custom icon would be appreciated.
Thanks.

It's possible that you don't have both 16x16 and 32x32 icons in 16 bit color. When you convert the .png to an .ico, see if there is an option to convert into necessary ico images that you need.
As a way to double check this without using application builder, load the VI : <vi.lib>\Platform\icon.llb\Read Icons for Application.vi
It will show you the different icons that are read from the .ico file.

How to set the icon for the entire application with JFrame.setIconImage

I set the icon on the main frame using JFrame.setIconImage(). The icon is shown properly in the main frame.
If more JFrames are opened from the main frame, the newly opened JFrames also show the icon.
However if JDialogs are opended, in some cases the icon set on the main frame is shown and in other cases the coffee cup.
What is JFrame.setIconImage() expected to do? Setting the icon for a single JFrame or the entire application?
How can I set the icon for the entire application?
How can I set the icon for JDialogs?
Thank you

In order for your dialogs to use the same icon as the frame, you must parent the dialogs to the frame which has the custom icon.

Why are so many app icons either pixelated or missing? No photo thumbnails in Photoshop CS6 and missing icons for newly installed applications.

Even after a clean install of new applications and permission fixes and disk repairs, this problem persists. Apple must have changed some specifications for thumbnail icons in Mountain Lion. This is a particularly frustrating problem with Adobe Photoshop CS6. If you attempt to save a CS6 file in any format, the thumbnail image icon just disappears or appears dark, with no image visible. I have spoken with both Adobe and Apple about this and no one seems to want to accept responsibility, but I'm beginning to believe the issue is with Mountain Lion, as I did a clean install of a Mountain Lion friendly and compatible app today and the end result was that there is no icon for the application. The application will run, but you cannot see an icon for it in the dock, only the name. This is absurd! Seems like paid "upgrades" are now becoming downgrades. At least that's how I feel when I actually lose rather than gain functionality.

this is happening to me too. if i create a photoshop jpeg file it has no thumbnail icon. the file seems to be there by name only?
