Not use system icon theme for app icon about qmplay2 HOT 42 CLOSED

I don't know. I can try on Plasma 5 later (Arch Linux), but I don't know how does it work (I'm using Mate).
What is this? Is it an app launcher or system tray?

from qmplay2.

This panel launcher "tasks widget (icon only)". Maybe this icon on binary or program not like SVG. You can test this with icon:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme-kde/0d2972a72e7bc02437475bb16fdf9be1154a5fac/papirus/48x48/apps/QMPlay2.svg

from qmplay2.

Maybe just export it in Inkscape as PNG (e.g. 128x128) and replace the icon: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/QMPlay2.png ?

from qmplay2.

By the by this symlink /usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/QMPlay2.png > ../../../QMPlay2.png

from qmplay2.

sudo rm /usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/QMPlay2.png
sudo rm /usr/share/icons/QMPlay2.png

And then just paste your new PNG icon here (/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps) or maybe SVG will also work.

Which distribution do you use? If Arch Linux you can currently switch to qmplay2-git - it doesn't create the symlink :)

This not working (also i clear cache icon and plasma):

i'm use stable version on Manjaro KDE

from qmplay2.

Ok, i'm compile git-version from AUR and check this

from qmplay2.

I don't know if deleting cache doesn't help... Did you restart plasma? This is QMPlay2 independent...

from qmplay2.

Yes i'm delete cache and restart plasma:

rm -rf ~/.cache/plasm*
killall plasmashell

from qmplay2.

It's strange hm...
Git-version:

from qmplay2.

use xorg icon

from qmplay2.

Check whether /usr/share/icons/QMPlay2.png does not exists.
Check whether /usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/QMPlay2.png exists.

and check the icon name in *.desktop files.

Delete caches, restart plasma...

from qmplay2.

Player closed - use system icon

from qmplay2.

Maybe there is another problem - does plasma update the icon from application icon?

from qmplay2.

/usr/share/icons/QMPlay2.png does not exists - confirm this
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/QMPlay2.png exists - confirm this.
Desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=QMPlay2 %F
Icon=QMPlay2

Now del cache and restart PC and check

from qmplay2.

I think that Plasma5 just loads the application/window icon instead of system icon if QMPlay2 is open.

from qmplay2.

I think that this line:

from qmplay2.

For example, my friend programmer and use this variant:
Maybe help this :)

setWindowIcon(QIcon::fromTheme("krudio",QIcon(path+"krudio.svg")));//иконка окна
    if(save){//сохраняем изменения в базу
        QString str;
        QSqlQuery a_query;
        bool b;
        //Вставить значения
        QString str_insert = "UPDATE "+tableSettingName+" SET value = %1 WHERE setting ='%2';";
        str = str_insert.arg(colorNumb).arg("color");
        b = a_query.exec(str);
        if (!b) {qDebug() << "Данные не сохнаняются";}
    }
}

from qmplay2.

restart pc and clear cache not solved problem

from qmplay2.

Use system icon (if available) or not available use fallback icon from hicolor or another method.

from qmplay2.

Ok, I'll try :)

from qmplay2.

Please recompile & test :)

from qmplay2.

ok

from qmplay2.

Not working - use xorg icon :(

from qmplay2.

from qmplay2.

Hmm, ok, switching to Plasma 5 (please wait)...

from qmplay2.

Ok. I'm clear all cache and icons too, restart plasma, convert png to svg and copy to system icons folder... but always show xorg icon

from qmplay2.

No problems (tried with CMake icon 😃)... Try to remove rm ~/.cache/icon-cache.kcache or maybe all files from cache directory and then restart Plasma.

from qmplay2.

delete all ~/.cache but not solved. convert svg to png (VLC icon), restart plasma. Please see on /usr/share/applications and hicolor vlc icon, but on launcher xorg

from qmplay2.

And what if you close QMPlay2? Still Xorg icon?

from qmplay2.

No, close - use system icon (VLC now)

from qmplay2.

I can't reproduce. Everything is OK on my Plasma5 and on Mate.
What if you do: sudo ln -s /usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/QMPlay2.png /usr/share/icons/QMPlay2.png? Maybe it still remembers the old icon location /usr/share/icons/QMPlay2.png and tries to load non-existing file at runtime? Maybe it has another cache somewhere else?

from qmplay2.

I convert vlc.svg to vlc.png on gimp. Moved new QMPlay2.png to /usr/share/icons/breeze/apps/48/ and to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/
On dolphin and KMenu show VLC icon, also if touch player icon on panel - show VLC icon too (player closed). Bur run player and show Xorg icon on panel

from qmplay2.

from qmplay2.

What icon do you have in tray (expand it, the indicator on the left of the temperature) if player is running?
What if you copy/move the QMPlay2.png to /usr/share/icons ?

from qmplay2.

on systemtray use vlc icon

from qmplay2.

The system tray icon is exactly the same icon as on taskbar (see f2facc5 - it uses the window icon). Something must be wrong with your KF5. Could you try on Xfce4, Mate or any other DE/WM? You can try to load openbox in Plasma5 yaourt -S openbox; openbox --replace and then try. Then go back to kwin kwin_x11 --replace from "Alt+F2" launcher. Maybe kwin5 has bug? If you are using Manjaro "stable" repo then you probably have old Qt 5.6.0. Qt 5.6.1 is much better than Qt 5.6.0 (less bugs).

from qmplay2.

It's strange because other Qt5-apps show system icon, example qbittorrent.
Ok i try this latter... and go now sleep :)

from qmplay2.

I think this is Kwin5 or Plasma5 bug (or something wrong with cache), because Qt loads tray icon from window icon and the tray icon is OK, but window icon is not OK on Plasma/Kwin (internally in Qt is OK).

from qmplay2.

Ok, mee too 😃 2:20 AM in Poland

Later (if it still will work bad) please try with openbox WM on Plasma5 :)

from qmplay2.

I'm check on openbox - use system icon on panel, it's OK. This bug Qt or Kwin. After upgrade Qt5 and Plasma check again. Thx for support :)

from qmplay2.

So probably Kwin5 bug (or unknown other cache) :)
According to #30 (comment) probably it has problem because of changed icon directory (qmplay2 and qmplay2-git). Sorry, but I can't help, this is out of scope...
