Xfce: Set Applikation icon for taskbar and task switcher

Hi Community,
I'm facing a Problem with icons in xfce: some applications don't seem to have the correct ones in the task switcher (alt+tab) and the task bar. A default icon is shown instead. This happens for example with gedit and urxvt.
Screenshot:

I use whisker menu as startmenu/appstarter and the icons are correct there. (They are also correct in Dockbarx)
How can I set icons for the taskbar/-switcher? Do I need icons with specific sizes in /usr/share/icons?
Thanks in advance!

Yeah, the problem seems to be quite common.

Nethertheless, no solution suggested on these sites worked for me. ;(
I also reinstalled gedit (sudo pacman -Rns gedit && sudo pacman -S gedit) which didn't work and I created a new user account (and changed the themes) to preclude that something is wrong with the settings in my home directory. It's funny that xfce4-terminal displays the icon correctly in the taskbar/-switcher because it uses the same "Icon=utilities-terminal" setting as urxvt in its .desktop file in /usr/share/applications.
Edit: After reading this post I installed rxvt-unicode-patched (aur) instead of rxvt-unicode from community. The urxvt icon can be set now in the .Xdefaults-File:
URxvt*iconFile: /usr/share/icons/Moka/256x256/apps/utilities-terminal.png
The Icon-Setting in /usr/share/applications/urxvt.desktop seems to be applied only for the startmenu.

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.

1 set of speakers for tv and streaming

I was going to buy an AppleTV and connect a set of external speakers to my tv, so any devices connected to the tv will use those speakers, but what if I want to stream audio from an ipod or macbook to those same speakers?
I could buy a A/V receiver that is Airplay compatible or ...? Any other suggestions?

I'm still confused. If the speakers in question are connected to the tv, then wouldn't the tv have to be powered on all the time even if those speakers are 'selected' by the Apple TV. If so, I'd have to connect the speakers to an Airplay base station or Airplay express and link that with the Apple TV so I don't have to have the tv powered on when I just want to stream music from my macbook.
Does that make sense? I don't want to buy 2 separate sets of speakers for 2 different tasks - i.e. 1 set connected to an Airplay express so I can listen to streaming music stored on my Macbook and another set of speakers connected to the optical audio output of my plasma tv when I want to watch a movie on my DVD player or Dish receiver. That's why I thought the Apple TV would be able to do both. I suppose it can, but it just means I'd have to keep my plasma tv on all the time, even when I'm listening to streaming music. The only other set up I can think of is to buy a 1st gen. Apple TV and direct the output to the Airplay express speakers when I want to watch a movie on my DVD player.
I'm not sure if I'm making this too complicated.

HT201328 I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first or set one up for her and then unlock the phone.

I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first ( I now have a new iphone on this account) or set one up for her and then unlock the phone. I am worried about upsetting the new phone.

I would complete unlocking as is and then
restore as new once you know the iPhone is unlocked
Be aware Orange will process the request at their speed
one of the reasons they usually reside at bottom of User Sat surveys
will likely take weeks

I see that many people have already complained about Itunes' backup encryption. I NEVER set a password for it (and the corresponding option is still unticked, as always) yet it asked me for a pwd when I upgraded my 3GS to the 5.0 OS. How to solve this?

To prevent others from reading your mail, don't give them access to your account. If others need to use your computer for some reason, set up personal accounts, or a guest account, and switch to it before allowing them access. This is the simplest, and most effective, method.
Email message files can be read as plain text in TextEdit or any word processor.
To protect your email messages from being viewed by others while in your account, you would have to lock the folder, putting it into an encrypted disk image that required a password to be opened and mounted. You would have to double-click on the image and give your password to mount it before launching Mail then unmount it as soon as you're done. My guess is that you could replace the ~/Library/Mail folder with an alias pointing to the folder on the disk image.
It may work, but it seems like a lot of unnecessary hassle.

For printer LaserJet Professional CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC

Dear All
for printer LaserJet Professional CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC?please help?

What Windows OS are you using? Are you networked?
If you are networked, you have to setup your file and print sharing options in order to require password assess. If you are just trying to control specific files from being printed, you can do that, too.
If you are just trying to control the amount of printing off of a single PC with a printer, you could setup different accounts for each user and limit their access.
Some of the commercial printers can have password options, but I do not find any password options for the CM 1410, other than what I provided earlier.
If I have been helpful, a Kudo is always appreciated.

How to fill up set up tables for 2lis_03_UM and BF?

Hi,
I am working on Material movements, and i have a How to do document. According to that, its showing me to fill up set up table for 2Lis_03_bf by using TCode OLI1BW, and in the very next step its again telling me to fill up set up table for UM, by using the same TCODE ( OLI1BW ) .
Now, if i do that, how would the system know that it has to fill up set up table for BF and then UM ? , no where in the screen its asking to fill up the Data source.
OR i just have to fill up set up table ONCE, and it will fill up for both the DS ?
please help.
thanks

Hi,
I think you can follow the same procedure. After completion of setup table filling you can check the result in RSA3.
In case of UM, you will have the provision to load data based on specific Company codes, but if you don't have any such requirement then you can simply fill setup tables.
Regards,
Durgesh.

We upgraded or computer from os x to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 now our icons for safari and mail won't open

We upgraded or computer from os x to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 now our icons for safari and mail won't open

Drag the icons from the Dock, go to the Applications folder and drag Safari and Mail (one at a time) to the Dock. Don't release the mouse button until the adjaxent icons move out of the way for the one you're adding.
That should compensate for the updates to Mail and Safari introduced with SL.

To change the TOC icons for books and pages

I want to change the TOC icons for books and pages.
How I do this?
Thank

Hi Christine and welcome to our community
Even in traditional WebHelp output, these are simple images.
I just created a non-skinned output to check. I'm using X5 and in
this version you should be able to find the following images:
* Closed book should be: whd_toc1.gif
* Open book should be: whd_toc2.gif
* Page should be: whd_toc3.gif
So if you want to influence changes to these, you would find
them in your output folder and simply replace (using the same file
name) with the image(s) of your choice.
Cheers... Rick

After an update to firefox I keep getting a warning from my Firewall (McAfee) "Program wants internet access". I have permission set at outgoing for firefox and updates checking off, to check that request is valid so what does it need access for

After an update to firefox I keep getting a warning from my Firewall (McAfee) "Program wants internet access". I have permission set at outgoing for firefox and updates checking off, to check that request is valid so what does it need access for

This was not a Firefox update, but a piece of malicious software you have inadvertently downloaded from a site called http://ffftp.co.cc/ which is impersonating Firefox. I discovered this as soon as my Zonealarm requested permission for "Golds" to access the internet. Golds??!! However I couldn't find a file with this name installed on my computer.
You should delete the file you downloaded and certainly do not allow internet access to any suspicious program. If you have already given permission, scan your PC immediately for any virus, malware, etc. Best of luck.

How do I set up pages for mac and ipad to share a document and keep them synced.

How do I set up pages for mac and ipad to share a document and keep them synced.

You can upload them from Mac to iCloud and then download on the iPad. They only directly sync between iOS devices. The Mac version of Pages has more options that are not available on iOS. If you use a font that is not available on iOS it will change the font. Some layout options aren't available either.
