Can someone tell me what I need to do to make my application’s icon appear on the taskbar button when my app is running?
I always get the default/generic icon as shown below (red arrow added for emphasis):
I have several icons (various size .png files) defined in the Appearance/Icon panel of my application (I’m assuming that’s where you should put the icons) but they don’t seem to be getting picked up by Raspbian. I have these icon sizes defined: 512, 256, 128, 32, and 16. Do I need 1024 and 48 also?
Hi Wes, have you created the “.desktop” file in the Raspian environment? Tell me if that makes no sense, or if you’ve never heard of such a file, and I’ll be happy to give you my quick brain dump on it.
Raspbian seems to use the specified icon (the blue fingerprint icon next to the Raspbian Start button) for the application shortcut in the launch-bar and the accessories menu but not in the taskbar application button.
