lxpanel default icons lacation for menu shortcuts

Post by phane »

Will it be possible to change the default icons location during copilation from /usr/share/pixmaps/ to /usr/share/icons or to make both places the default icon location for lxpanel?.

I'm running pclxde2009.4 I compiled lxpanel 0.5.1 it's working fine, however after installing lxpanel I lost many of the shortcuts icons in order to fix this issue I had to cp the missing shortcut icons to /usr/share/pixmaps.

This was fixed in SVN r1911 which is just past 0.5.2.

PCLinuxOS and Mandriva both use /usr/share/icons as a holding place for various application icons as well as /usr/share/pixmaps. Where can I look in the code to revert or patch /usr/share/icons into the search path as it worked in 0.4.x series without having to copy all the icon.png's from /usr/share/icons to /usr/share/pixmaps to get them to show in the menu and panel. Thanks for the wonderful work on LXDE.

I released 0.5.3 yesterday, which contains this change among other important fixes.

We are using 0.5.3. I was able to track down the reason some of our icons were not showing in the lxpanel menu. If our desktop file contains icon=frostwire.png and frostwire.png is located in /usr/share/icons the icon will not show in the lxpanel menu. If I manually edit the frostwire.desktop file in /usr/share/applications and change the icon section from icon=frostwire.png to icon=frostwire then the icon shows in the lxpanel menu. For some reason lxpanel doesn't like the .png extension.

Thank you kind sir. Eventually all of our desktop files will come in line with proper freedesktop specs as packages get updated.
