Hello,

Where exactly do we choose the icon for the About data in a KDE program?

Here is my code for the KAboutData

Code: Select all

KAboutData about(
         "my-app",
         "my-app",
         ki18n("My App"),
         version,
         ki18n(description),
         KAboutData::License_GPL_V3,
         ki18n("(C)"),
         KLocalizedString(),
         website,
         emailAddress);

The icons "my-app.png" are well installed in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16,32... and it works when I do the

Code: Select all

addPage( dlgGeneral, i18n("General"), "my-app" );

stuff in the config dialog.
But in the help menu, the "About My App" button and its window have no icon.

I tried "about.setProgramLogo" but it only worked in the window but not in the menu, and I shouldn't need that trick anyway.

Thanks

Try the following, which comes from System Settings ( change preferences-system to the name of your icon )

Code: Select all

aboutData.setProgramIconName("preferences-system");

Sorry, I was being stupid.
I forgot a

Code: Select all

about.setProgramIconName("my-app.png");

somewhere, so it didn't find it.
Thank you for your help!
