[Gtick-devel] Hardcoded icon path in launcher file

[Willi Wacker]

Hi,

currently the icon path specified in the launcher file (gtick.desktop) is set to:
Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/gtick.xpm

This prevents icon theming without editing the launcher file.

I'd like to ask you to change the icon path line in the launcher according to the freedesktop.org standards.

Please find more info here:

According to the above resources standard icon locations are:

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/[size]/apps/[icon name]
~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/[size]/apps/[icon name]
/usr/share/pixmaps/[icon name]

Your icon gtick.xpm is already stored in a standard location.

But the standard icon path line in the .desktop launcher is:
Icon=[icon name] (neither full path, nor the file extension are needed)

for instance
Icon=gtick
(for an icon gtick.svg, gtick.png or gtick.xpm stored in standard location)

Could you please adjust the icon path in the .desktop file accordingly?

Thanks a lot for GTick and kind regards.
