I am trying to attach an icon to "show hidden files" button on Dolphin, however "change icon" is deactivated, for all buttons. That screenshot should explain better:



thanks for any help

Unfortunately I can't reproduce... If you switch your Style to "Oxygen" does it work?

Otherwise, check the permissions of ~/.kde4/share/apps/dolphin/*

Thanks for your answer, unfortunately none of your suggestions worked. I used to have this problem before and somehow the problem was solved after a few tries. Maybe today is just not my lucky day

I just tried the same thing with akregator, ktorrent & juk, problem remains. hence I don't think this is application specific. So any guesses about what may cause that? By the way, if anyone can suggest a way to manually adjust show_hidden_file icon for dolphin, I'll be done. Not the most important bug or whatever...

Very unusual. In any case, it involves editing the appropriate *ui.rc file under ~/.kde4/
You need to add the following text to the toolbar item entry

Code: Select all

icon="name-of-icon"

You may wish to try removing those *ui.rc files too, which may fix this, as they may be older versions, which don't support this.

Thank you very much, that did work

Make sure you have /usr/bin/kdialog, I don't know which package includes this file in Arch.

You are right, that was the problem. Thanks
