Openbox task icons

Where does openbox get its icon information from? I'm using URxvt, but I get the ugly default box as an icon. I have an icon I downloaded that I put in /usr/share/pixmaps. It's set up correctly in my pypanel, but openbox doesn't display the icon.

I'm pretty sure the icon is compiled into urxvt... but that doesn't have to stop you. You can grab the source from ABS, replace the icon with whatever you like and build a custom PKG with it.

I no longer have a calender or task icon. How do I get it back?

When an employee logged into his account this morning, he could not view his calender. We looked in every location that it would normally be in and its not there, neither is the task icon. How can we retrieve his calender and task icon?

Hi Petria,
Firefox is a web browser. It displays the content of existing sites. Things like email or page contents come from the content provider. Who is the calendar provider? It sounds like this might even be a desktop application and not a web based calendar? You'll probably have better luck consulting their help documentation.
Hopefully this helps!

Task Icon

I was trying to move my Task icon when it suddenly disappeared and I can not get it back. It seems my tasks have disappeared, even when I select show tasks in the Calendar. Any ideas?
Cheers
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Welcme to the Frums!
Go to your main screen and press your menu button > SHOW ALL and see if it shows up.
if you do not see it there, then look behind your other icons and see if it got moved.
it is there somethere hiding.
its a game.... hide and seek!

HOWTO: Openbox Menu Icon in PyPanel

Using Openbox and PyPanel (or similar) and are tired of either having to minimize windows or adjust maximum window size to leave space for right-clicking on the desktop? Do you have a keyboard shortcut set up to open the menu, but also want to be able to use the mouse to open the menu easier? I have a solution!
Create an icon to launch the Openbox application menu on PyPanel.
This will allow you to click on an icon on PyPanel which opens the OpenBox menu, similar to Gnome's application menu.
Example:
Requirements:
Openbox Window Manager
PyPanel (dock/panel application)
xdotool
obkey - to edit key shortcuts to OpenBox's rc.xml (not required, but used in this howto)
Recommendations:
archlinux-artwork
Procedure:
1) If you don't already have PyPanel installed, install it now (as root).
pacman -S pypanel
2) Launch pypanel in an application launcher, or the terminal (as normal user):
pypanel &&
3) Install xdotool (allows for launching keyboard shortcuts via command line) (as root)
pacman -S xdotool
4) If you do not have obkey installed, install it with yaourt (recommended) or download the tar.gz and run the python script:
yaourt -S obkey-git
OR
Go to the obkey site or download the .tar.gz by clicking here
Extract the .tar.gz:
tar -xvf ./obkey-dev-abf0bb12.tar.gz
Enter the obkey-dev directory:
cd ./obkey-dev
Run obkey and point it to the openbox rc.xml (as normal user!):
./obkey ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml
5) In obkey, find an existing key or create a new key binding by clicking "Insert sibling key" at the top. Note: Ctrl+alt combinations did not seem to work for me to create this menu launcher.
- If it's an existing key, select it, then click on the action in the bottom right-hand pane. A window should pop up. Find and select "ShowMenu"
- If it's a new key, select it, enter in the key combination you want to use in the key (text) box (for example, C-M for Ctrl+M), then click the green "Insert Action" button at the bottom. Click on the new "Focus" action. A window should pop up. Find and select "ShowMenu"
In the ShowMenu action, at the top there should be a box for "menu:" Enter in "root-menu" in this box.
Now save by clicking the green arrow + hard drive in the top left corner of obkey. Now you should be able to use that key combination to open the root-menu. If not, try restarting the X Server.
Example:
6) This is optional, but if you want a nice Arch icon for your new menu launcher, you can grab mine. If you want to use your own image, it cannot be .svg, so I converted a .svg icon to .png from the the official Arch Artwork package (archlinux-artwork in the repos). If you want to just use mine:
Enter the following commands to get the image and set it up for the next step:
mkdir ~/.icons/archlinux/icons/
wget -P ~/.icons/archlinux/icons/ http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/1378/archlinuxiconcrystal128.png
7) Open up your ~/.pypanelrc with your favorite text editor (e.g. nano or gedit).
Scroll down to a line starting with "LAUNCH_LIST" Most likely it will have a line like this by default:
("gimp-2.2", "/usr/share/imlib2/data/images/paper.png")
Change the line to the following to use xdotool and the key you assigned in step 5, as well as the icon image we just downloaded (Note: make sure to change /home/user to your specific home directory!):
("xdotool key ctrl+m", "/home/user/.icons/archlinux/icons/archlinuxiconcrystal128.png")
Next, locate a line about 15 more down starting with "APPICONS." Change this value from 0 to 1.
APPICONS = 1 # Show application icons
Finally, about 20 lines down, you will see a section for Panel Layout.
There are 5 sections for the panel: Desktop, Tasks, Tray, Clock, and Launcher. They can be assigned, in order of left to right on the panel, with numbers 1-5 and 0 for disabled. Choose a location you want your Launcher to be and set the value from 1-5. You can play around with this by setting the values, then restarting pypanel.
Here is how I have set mine (I disabled Desktop since I only use one desktop/workspace and do not need it to say which one I am on):
DESKTOP = 0 # Desktop name section
TASKS = 2 # Task names section
TRAY = 3 # System tray section
CLOCK = 4 # Clock section
LAUNCHER = 1 # Application launcher section
8) Finally, kill and restart PyPanel and enjoy!
killall pypanel && pypanel
9) Tell me how it went, what you think, what I could improve on, etc!

Very nice guide got it working almost straight away :-)
Had to restart X in order to get key-binding to work though. And I put /home/username/.icons/archlinux/icons/archlinuxiconcrystal128.png instead of ~/ because somehow I got couldn't find logo error when pypanel started.
BTW sexy pypanel look you have. All the info in your .dotfiles link? will get to it tomorrow I guess. Thanks!
Thanks very much for using my guide and responding!
I will fix that ~/ directory problem and say to use the home directory.
And yes, that configuration is in my .dotfiles at the moment You can follow that link or just grab it here: http://dotfiles.org/~CheesyBeef/.pypanelrc
Thanks again!

How do I change the color on the task icon in my calendar?

Hello!
I just got a Blackberry Pearl 8110 and I want to take the most out of the calendar feature. I set so it shows my tasks in the calendar - I'm currently using the weekly view. The little icon/dash that shows up in my calendar to indicate the due date of my task is bright neon green and I can barely see it. Is there a way to change the color of that icon?
Thanks so much!!

I don't believe this is an option on a BlackBerry. You only have an option to change the appointment color on the calendar.

How do I create a TASK ICON ???

Hi,
I would like to put my application in the WINDOWS TASK BAR.
Those nice little icons that appear beside the clock.
I believe this solution will kill the portability of my code, but I am willing to pay that price.
Thanks,

MSPS 2013 - related a document to the project tasks - Icon is not visible in project schedule

When adding a document (related Items) to the project tasks in a project schedule at the task does not see the icon of the document.
Although the icon issue or risk when binding is visible.
And the icon is also seen in the "Projects Center"

Anyone can reproduce this steps on Project Server 2013:
* Upload document to project site document library
* Open project plan for editing in pwa, add to any task related item – uploaded in previous step document
* Save and publish project
Than check in project schedule and project center – icon associated document to task and project.

Awesome WM - How would I get task icons to show full name in tooltip?

I have just icons displaying which tasks are running in my tags. It would be nice to have it show the name of the task when I rollover with a tooltip. Here's the code I have for it so far. I'm not very good with the awesome API, so let me know if any other relivent code from my rc.lua is needed.
tasklist[s] = awful.widget.tasklist(function(c)
local task = { awful.widget.tasklist.label.currenttags(c, s) }
return '', task[2], task[3], task[4]
end, tasklist.buttons)

Still looking for something on this if anyone has any ideas.

Openbox - Gnome-icons wont change anymore... Reason: Gnome update?

I recently upgraded all my packages and among them was a new Gnome-build. I decided to actually check how Gnome looks in the new version and installed 'gnome' and 'gnome-extra' from the repositories.
Now after rebooting my computer the icon theme I have specified in ~/.gtkrc.mine does not work anymore (Crashbit, if you wanna know). This is pretty weird, as for instance the default 'Tango' theme doesn't work either - only the, say, functional Gnome icon theme is displayed.
Anyone with similar issues?
I have no clue about how to fix this...
EDIT: So I just started a gnome-Session and edited the theme via the 'Appearance manager' (heck do I know how it's called....) and chose Crashbit- and see! For some reason the icon theme in my openbox-session changed too... Now this is rather odd, as ~/.gtkrc-2.0 says that ~/.gtkrc.mine is supposed to be imported, and that one states "Tango" as a theme.
I suppose that the information about which icons to use is stored someplace else (damn I am smart!). Any ideas?

Icu was upgraded from 0.50 to 0.51.1 , you probably have packages (could be from AUR) that are build against the old icu version and need to be rebuild.

Openbox titlebar icons displaying incorrectly

Searched around but can't find anything.
Most openbox themes (OMG-Dark, Onyx, Clearlooks) don't display the window titlebar icons properly.
I've attached a screen shot - the top right hand corner shows what the icons look like. I viewed the xbm files for the icons in /usr/share/themes and the icons aren't malformed or anything.
Any idea why this is happening or how to fix it?
Openbox version: 3.5.2
Thanks..

Pure openbox + thunar icon help

hello. I have searched all over and have only found incomplete answers and nothing has worked. I have openbox installed by itself. I plan on using thunar as the file manager. however, thunar by itself does not come with any icons. how exactly do I install icons without having to install the entire xfce?
thanks

It's very easy, download the icon-theme from gnome-look and unpack it in ~/.themes
In the file ~/.gtkrc-2.0 add this line:
include "~/.gtkrc.mine"
Then create the file ~/.gtkrc.mine if it doesn't exist. Add the following line in the file:
gtk-icon-theme-name = "NameOfTHeIconTheme"
Notice that you replace the name with the name of your icon theme. You could add the row in gtkrc-2.0 directly, but its easier to have your own changes in a different file.

Replace grouped window task icon from java coffee cup with customised icon

I have an application that a child JFrame instance can be triggered from the main JFrame instance. In that case, these JFrames are collapsed under one group icon on my task bar in windows, which is the java coffee cup icon with tooltip of Java(TM) Platform. When i expand the list, each individual JFrame still has the right personised icon. Can anyone suggest how do I customised the group icon to be my own icon and have personised tooltip? Thanks in advance.

Tint2 task icons

Hello,
I feel like this is such a newbie question and should be able to find easily on wiki, but alas I cannot find what I'm looking for.
I have my tint2 bar configured so the task list consist only of icons (no texts). Here are two things I would like to do:
- Change the icon theme. How does one go about doing this? (this is probably somewhere in the wiki I've missed... perhaps someone could point me to that wiki)
- For certain applications, there is no icons associated with it (like mupdf). I've tried to create mupdf.desktop under ~/.local/share/applications, but that doesn't seem to do the trick. How do I change the icon for particular application? I would also like to change the icon for rxvt, which right now is displayed as default "unknown application" icon.
I hope I was clear on what I want...
Thanks in advance!

The icons are not taken from a theme, they are drawn from the application.
Urxvt does not have an icon (by default), but this one is easy to add. You can put an option in your Xdefaults/Xresources for urxvt.iconFile and give it an image. You may want to double check the name of the option as I only used it briefly.
For most other apps, your best bet is to get xseticon from AUR. You can associate any image you'd like as the icon for an X11 app and that icon will then be shown in tint2's tasks.
You can then put all the xseticon commands in a startup script so you don't have to redo it every time.

That's not very helpful. You need to learn how to use abs. Then use it to compile your own version of openbox with icons support. If you have problems, post specifically what you've tried and what the error messages were.
Though what puzzles me is why isn't the Arch package compiled with icons support in the first place?
let me understand
if i install openbox from shell
pacman -S openbox
i can't use icons?
