[Pantheon shell]No icon in wingpanel's application menu

Hello, guys.
I followed patheon's wiki page and installed almost every package listed in it.
After switching to pantheon, there is no icon in wingpanel's application menu.
However, when input something into the search inputbox, like terminal, the icon for pantheon-terminal shows normally.
I'm not quite sure what's the problem, maybe it's because I was using MATE before and changed the icon theme?
Thanks.

There are third party programs that can display an application list which allow you to edit what apps are shown. I use Witch, an app that also provides some window controls. I've avoided tricks like editing the plist because doing this can effects far beyond hiding them from the application switcher.

Re-add Gnome Icon to fallback mode "Applications" menu

Hello,
I'm trying to re-add the gnome icon to the fallback mode "Applications" menu. Currently, the menu only has "Applications" with no gnome foot to the left of it (like how gnome 2 was laid out):
Can anyone suggest how to re-add this icon? I've looked through my theme files but can't seem to find anything relating to the applications menu.
Thanks!

It's a bug in gnome-themes-standard:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687314
Until it is not fixed, you have the following options:
- Revert the patch and rebuild gnome-themes-standard.
- Downgrade to gnome-themes-standard 3.6.0.
- Switch to another GTK+ theme.

Xfce application menu plugin icon size

I'm trying to figure out how to make the application menu icon size larger than the window button icon sizes with the Greybird theme, just like it is for Greybird Classic in the picture.
I have tried the "panel-applications-menu" string in both my .gtkrc-2.0 file and in xsettings but it is either not being respected or I'm not using it correctly. What specifically controls the icon size for the applications menu icon size?

Arch Logo & Gnome Applications Menu

Does anyone know how to change the gnome-foot icon to the arch logo?
I am reffering to the icon next to the Applications menu.

....silly me. I was googling all over the place and never thought about the logos page. Thanx for your help!

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.
See the following thread for more information: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=362542

Icon not showing up in dock Applications menu

This isn't a problem that affects the functionality of my laptop, but it just annoys me and I wondered if anyone knew how to fix it!
I installed a new program, and it works just fine. But the "correct" icon for the program does not appear in the Applications menu. It looks normal on the dock, but the icon in both Applications menus (in the Finder and on the dock) is some kind of error/default icon. It looks like a piece of paper with a pencil covered by a white circle with a line through it (as in the symbol on a 'no smoking' sign.)
Does anyone know how I can get the icon of the actual program to appear here? Thanks!

I just hit this problem as well, earlier this week when my MacBook keyboard stopped responding, so I expected it had something to do with a problem with the hardware or software on my laptop.
Now that I'm doing some diagnostics on the drive and the hardware, I am NOT finding any kind of specific problem that would be causing icons to stop showing in the Dock. As others have clarified, this problem is NOT that icons show up as "not allowed" with the circle-strikethrough icon, but that the application does not appear *at all* - the spot below the icon indicating that the application is running appears, but the application icon will not display. I have had this issue with both applications that are running and applications that have been quit, and either state change can cause the icons to disappear, but I can't find a way to reliably reproduce the issue. Icons just appear or disappear seemingly at random.
Once the surface scan is complete on the drive I've been using as my main boot drive, I'll try the "move-app-from-Apps-folder, then-back-again" trick to see if it gets the icons to appear again.

Hide icons in applications menu

I am having the problem that the Applications "menu", in grid mode, on the dock is getting stuffed with lots of things I almost or never need.
That, I could accept.
But when you are forced to for example install Microsoft Silverlight, the installer puts some icon in the applications menu that you never click. I have trashed this icon and everything seems fine until now... I hope...
Yesterday, I wanted to try the trial of the new Corel Painter 12. To be able to download it, the website wants you to install some kind of plugin called Akamai. Once installed, you get this subfolder menu Akamai in your applications menu. Then I went back and Akamai started to download the trail and installed it. Now there's another folder in the applications menu called Corel Painter 12, which seem to contain necessary extra brushes and support files for some reason.
1. I don't want to need to see that Akamai is on my system as I will probably never need it again. But I don't want to use the uninstaller inside the Akamai folder because maybe I will need it someday in the future. Trashing the Akamai folder will take away my possibility to use the uninstaller to remove the software cleanly from my mac. The only way out seems moving this folder to anoder place on the disk, while I hope I will remember that I put it there when I need it.
2. I only want the Painter 12 icon in my applications menu, I don't want to click on the Corel Painter 12 folder and then on the subfolder, click on Painter 12. I am not interested in the sub-sub-folders. I know I can move the Painter 12 item upwards but it might give problems. Trashing the sub-subfolders will prevent me from using them if I find use for them. Moving them to ander place on the disk may be a solution, but again, I hope I find it back when I do need it, and maybe the software will not work if I do this.
But these folders make my applications grid UGLY and stuffed. I never use Calculator, I use SpeedCrunch. Still I don't want to trash Calculator because I might want it back and it is standard system software. Again: I want it away until I find need for it.
Is there a proper/nicer way to solve this? Can't I just HIDE an icon from the menu, can I create some kind of symlink Painter 12 to the "hidden" Corel Painter 12 subfolder's Painter 12 app? How?
Sorry for the long text, the reason is that I want you to fully understand my problem before answering with the things that I already suggested.

You can create symlinks and store them at your application folder, not the systems - where all your apps probably live. Then you could add this folder to your sidebar and even tell new Finder windows to open this new location of your symlinked apps. Hit the Terminal.app and type ln -s "original item path (i.e.where it is)" "new link path" (i.e.where you want it to be). Note that you can drag the app to the terminal, bypassing the need to type its location as you can also drag the new destination afterwards.
The only problem I visualize from reading your post, is that you probably wouldn't like for the apps to have the traditional shortcut arrow on its bottom left corner…
BTW, you can trash Akamai via the uninstaller. Next time you need something via this app, simply let it be installed again (it's very lightweight). I tend to use it only when the files/installers I am transferring are too large to take the risk of stopping midway through.
Hope this helps.

My firefox icon disappears into my applications folder each time I log out. Is it possible to keep the icon on the bottom of my screen? Thank you.

Hello, My Firefox icon disappears into my applications folder each time I log out. Is it possible to keep it at the bottom of my screen (it used to stay there)?

Does that mean you have to sign out of creative cloud on one machine and sign back in to creative cloud on the other machine to be able to use it?
No. You can be signed in to the Cloud (using the same Adobe ID) on two separate computers at the same time.
If you want to activate the Cloud on a 3rd machine then you need to sign out of one of the other computers.
Your issue on your home computer is unlikely to be related to signing in.

Can't find a LE 8 Icon folder in either Application Support/Logic

I can't find a Logic Express icon folder in either HD/Application Support/Logic or User/Application Support/Logic but I have the icons available in LE 8. I just want to drag some LE 7 icons into LE 8 from my clone I took before upgrading. A Spotlight search shows no folder with them anywhere. I have no HD or Users/Application Support/Logic/Images folder at all.

Brazeca,
As you instructed, I went into Logic Express 7 & 8 package contents to get the LE 7 icons and see what was going on in LE 8. LE 8 has two icon folders, one called "Icons" with the default-accessible 149 icons numbering from 1 to 324 or 325 (with a lot of numbers missing), and another folder called "Legacy Icons" that have numbers which fit in between the icon numbers already being used in the Icon folder. This Legacy Icon folder has all or most of the missing icons I'm looking for from LE 7 but do not show up in LE 8 (unless it is imported on a track in a LE 7 file that used it). To use those Legacy Icons in LE 8, my guess is that I can move any of them I want into the Icons folder within the LE 8's package contents rather than set up a user icon folder in ~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Images as you suggested and stated in the manual. I guess that user Icon folder could be used for other custom icons above number 325.
It'd be nice if this information was in the manual. I'm going move one now and see what happens.

Can't open nautilus from applications menu

I find that I can't open nautilus from applications menu any more.
In the terminal, it won't open nautilus when running 'nautilus' without specifying a location or --new-window option.
I've checked and tried to modify /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop and /usr/share/applications/nautilus-classic.desktop, but it didn't work.
The values of Exec option in the two files are as follows:
/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop: Exec=nautilus --new-window %U
/usr/share/applications/nautilus-classic.desktop: Exec=nautilus --no-default-window --force-desktop
Also, I have tried to reinstall nautilus. I didn't work, either.
Any one can help?

ooo wrote:
Are you using gnome classic session? Or have you enabled desktop icons?
Sounds like the nautilus-classic.desktop could be getting launched during gnome-session startup, which should happen in both of the cases above.
According to my testing, starting nautilus with 'nautilus --no-default-window --force-desktop' causes the exact behavior you're describing.
I'm using standard gnome without desktop icons, and I don't have any issues with nautilus, so disabling them would probably help, although that could be a drag if you really want desktop icons.
I still don't understand why the org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop wouldn't work though, since it has the --new-window flag. Apparently you can't even launch a new window via the right click menu item.
This could happen if gnome-shell recognizes the nautilus-classic.desktop as nautilus, and starts using it's .desktop file instead when you try to launch a new window.
If so you could probably fix this from the .desktop file somehow. I might be able to look into it later..
I'm also using standard gnome, and I have enabled desktop icons.
Disabling desktop icons makes it work.
Thanks!
I once tried to modify nautilus-classic.desktop to Exec=natilus --new-window, but it didn't help.

Application menu command

hi, i need an information..i want to change the application menu icon of kde with a text written "menu" launcher.. i have kde so i could use textlaunch applet, but obviously this applet ask me to associate a command to the text. So the question is: what is the terminal command to launch the application menu of kde? thanks!!

oh thank you it works! but the command opens a new window with the application menu, on centre of desktop..i wish it could works like normal widget with the sliding menu...ok i think it is impossible...it isn't?
Edit: there isn't a way to configure plasma to show text and no icons? it is possible in Be:shell editing configuration file with "MODE=1" or "MODE=0" to show icon or text for icons on the panel...there isn't something like this in kde?

Application menu not showing in preference pane

Have brought some games for the iphone and ipod touch but have no application menu not showing in preference pane to upload them to to ipod touch. All software is current both itunes and ipod touch
Help would be very grateful,

If you go to Preferences, General you should be able to see the "Applications" check box, below "Audiobooks". Check the box, this will show the Applications icon in your library.

GNOME: Application Menu loses entries

Hi there,
When editing an entry in the Applications menu (say, changing the icon), the entry disappears. Custom application launchers aren't listed in the Applications menu, either, not even after restarting the panel or quitting / logging in GNOME 2.8.
All launchers, both edited and custom ones, are available in applications:/// mind.
Where exactly does the Applications menu get its entries?

From the linked thread:

This is how I can make entries to the Applications menu again: the .desktop file has to contain the lines below. When I add a menuentry with the "Add new item to this menu" I get a .desktop file in ~/.gnome2/vfolders/applications. This .desktop file is missing the "Categories:" line and contains a line "TryExec:" I have to delete the "TryExec" line and insert a "Categories:" line (see sample below) then I copy this .desktop file to the /usr/share/applications directory and the menu entry will appear. No need to set any permissions! Hope this is a workaround for you other guys too!
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Skype

I wonder whether XFCE4 is somehow to blame? Wasn't there something about XFCE "destroying" KDE menus? Am I really the only one here who encountered this problem?

[SOLVED] Rubyripper icon not displaying in Gnome menu

Hi.
The Rubyripper icon doesn't show up in my applications menu (Gnome). The .desktop file reads
[jm@elroy ~]$ cat /usr/share/applications/rubyripper.desktop | grep Icon
Icon=rubyripper
And the icon is present in my filesystem
[jm@elroy ~]$ find /usr/share/icons/ -name rubyripper.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/rubyripper.png
What can I do?
Last edited by hennes (2008-05-21 06:49:50)

The icons for the gnome menu have to be located in /usr/share/pixmaps I guess, check if a rubyripper.* icon is present there. If not, copy an icon into that folder [name: rubyripper(.png | .xpm | .svg ...)]
If present, maybe the icon cache should be updated. Try
gtk-update-icon-cache
or
gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/{your icon theme}
to force an overwrite; with root privileges. (I guess your theme is hicolor.)
I missed some icons too, but I did never mind. One day, they occured... so if nothing helps, wait ^^
