Hi,

Sorry if it is already explained somewhere but I can't find it.

I want to create a custom icon for my Amarok 2 script but I can't seem to find how I have to do this.
I know I should change it in the script.spec file and this probably by setting the Icon value. But when I set this to the filename of my icon (icon.png) it doesn't show the icon I made. The icon is located in the same folder as my script.
I also don't know if the Icon variable even accepts a filename as icon because when I look at the example on http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Development/ ... _HowTo_2.0 it looks more like it accepts another variable in stead of a file. But I can't figure out where and how to set this variable.

Thanks for any help.

I'm having this exact same issue, i'm following how Librivox is implemented and it uses:

Icon=view-services-librivox-amarok

inside [Desktop Entry]

Now, i have no idea what "view-services-librivox-amarok" is, and how to create one for my project. I cannot find documentation either...

I figured out that view-services-librivox-amarok is the filename and that multiple versions of these files are located on the following locations:
/usr/share/kde4/apps/amarok/icons/hicolor/16x16/actions/
/usr/share/kde4/apps/amarok/icons/hicolor/22x22/actions/
But I have no idea how to get our icons in there when you are installing your script because I don't think that much users install there script with root access.

I copied my icon in those 2 directories, then i used the icon name in the script.spec file (with and without the extension) but that didn't worked... there seems to be an "icon-cache.kcache" in "~/.kde/cache-[name]/" where these icons are registered with names, but no idea how to generate it again.

After a lot of testing i found that using the absolute path for the icon in the script.spec works, even more, using the relative path works too. So adding "./" in front of the icon name (if it is located in the same folder) seems to work.

Note that removing the cache outside of KDE is sufficient to trigger it to be rebuilt by KDE on next login.

Thanks frapell,

Using the absolute path works for me. The relative path however doesn't.
Any thoughts?

mmm... i really don't know, i use ./Icon.png and it works :-S
