<div>Ah... you sent this when I was typing
my e-mail.<br>
I am glad to hear others are working on fixing this issue!<br>
Are you working on making symbolic links, or some automated script
(kinda like what I am attempting), or something totally different?<br>
Eric has sorted out the main 2 issues.<br>
1. bad Icon= path<br>
2. xpm sized too large<br>
<br>
I can only see 3 (realistically)possible solutions.<br>
1. script to fix the icons<br>
2. symbolic links to the real icons<br>
3. automated conversion and fixing of desktop files (possibly on a
larger Ubuntu community scale... not just Lubuntu)<br>
<br>
I guess it might be time to find out if Xfce/Gnome/Unity has this
problem, though wrong icon paths will affect every respin, I
suppose... if not there may be a solution in another DE already
for the wrong icon paths. Though badly sized Icons can only be
fixed by resizing them (or forcing the menu to show them at a
certain size)<br>
<br>
It seems like to fix every icon field one would have to work for
Canonical to be able to make a change of that magnitude across all
however many thousands of packages in the repos.<br>
It would be very nice to have it done for Trusty.<div><div class="h5"><br>

trying to clean that mess too. A lot of programs, coming from

I hope the details below helps someone figure some things
out about no icons, blank icons and icons that are too big.
And as mentioned previously by Aere; there is quite a bit of
variation in the way developers tackle the icon "problem." I
looked a little deeper and tried some experimenting with
apps installed through LSC starting with the letter "E."<br>
<br>
For the application called eFTE, which shows no icon
(default icon in menu, blank on the desktop); there are 4
icons in usr/share/pixmaps<br>
efte16x16.xpm<br>
efte32x32.xpm<br>
efte48x48.xpm<br>
efte64x64.xpm<br>
This is referenced in the shortcut as Icon=efte<br>
<br>
I copied the shortcut to the desktop and changed just the
Icon= line to reference the path to the 32x32 icon<br>
Icon=usr/share/pixmaps/efte32x32.xpm<br>
This had absolutely no effect. I tried each of the other
sizes as well; 16x16, 48x48 and 64x64. None had any effect -
still a blank icon.<br>
I also tried moving the Icon= line to the top of the
shortcut, just below [Desktop Entry]; nothing.<br>
I then moved the Icon= line above [Desktop Entry] and this
time after saving, the default icon was shown.<br>
Next, I deleted all but the 64x64px icon in
usr/share/pixmaps and renamed it simply efte.xpm. I then
moved the Icon= line back down below the Exec= line, but
left the path. The icon went back to being blank. Finally, I
removed the path, so it was now Icon=efte.xpm (only the
64x64px icon still remained in usr/share/pixmaps and the
icon's name is simply efte.xpm) and the icon showed on the
desktop! I (tested to make sure the shortcut still worked
from the desktop to open eFTE) then replaced the shortcut in
/usr/share/applications and the icon showed in the menu too!
The menu now showed a large icon for eFTE; 4 times the size
it should have been. Next (because I had really deleted all
but the 64x64px version) I halved the size of the icon in
GIMP and overwrote it in /usr/share/pixmaps. And because it
was still showing the 4x size in the menu, I entered
lxpanelctl restart in LXTerminal and the icon had shrunk to
twice the size as normal - the 32x32px size. I halved it
again to 16x16px and again entered lxpanelctl restart in
LXTerminal and the icon then finally showed in the menu at a
normal size.<br>
<br>
In the case of Emila Pinball, which shows a large icon
(roughly 4x normal size); there is only 1 icon in the same
location<br>
pinball.xpm<br>
This icon is 32x32px, 72 dpi.<br>
This is referenced in the shortcut as Icon=pinball.xpm<br>
<br>
emesene, which shows a normal icon; has both an .xpm (at
32x32px) and a .png (at 96x96px) in usr/share/pixmaps<br>
emesene.xpm<br>
emesene.png<br>
Referenced in the shortcut as Icon=emesene<br>
<br>
ELKI, which shows a normal icon; only one icon resides in
usr/share/pixmaps<br>
elki-icon.png<br>
It is also 32x32px, 72 dpi<br>
In the shortcut as Icon=elki-icon<br>
<br>
Hope some of this sheds some light.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
