Details:
Hi,
I'm referring to the following file:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/d42aa6780175/etc/icons/octave.desktop.in
currently the icon path specified in the .desktop.in file is hardcoded to:
_Icon=%OCTAVE_IMAGEDIR%/octave-logo.svg_
In the created .desktop launcher file this evaluates to the following absolute
path:
_Icon=/usr/share/octave/4.0.1/imagelib/octave-logo.svg_
This prevents icon theming without editing the launcher file.
According to the resources linked below freedesktop.org standard application
launcher icon locations are:
_/usr/share/icons/hicolor/[size]/apps/[icon name]_
_~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/[size]/apps/[icon name]_
_/usr/share/pixmaps/[icon name]_
Please find more info regarding the freedesktop standard here:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html
According to the standard and w.r.t. the icon lookup mechanisms of GNU/Linux
DEs for an icon installed to a standard location you can change the icon path
line to simply:
*Icon=octave*
Just the icon name, no file extension needed.
Could you please move the icon to one of those standard locations and adjust
the *Icon=...* line in the .desktop file accordingly?
