application symbol on unix Topic is solved

[MoonKid]

I buiild a application on windows and use an rc-file to inbuiild a symbol-file (ico) to the binary.

How can I do this on a unixoid system (ubuntu/linux)? Of course there is no compiler for a rc-file.

I am using Code::Blocks with g++ on ubuntu.

Hi,

Use an xpm.

Code: Select all

#include "yourappname.xpm"

MyFrame::MyFrame(...)
{
...
SetIcon( wxICON( yourappname ) );
...
}

The only catch is to make sure you put the correct name in wxICON. It needs to be the internal name of the xpm, not its filename.

Regards,

David

Use an xpm.

Ok, I found no application to convert my SVG-File to a xpm.

Does XPM support different resolutions like ICO on windows? Can Gnome, KDE, etc interprete the inbuild xpm correct to display the application icon in their file managers?
