I'm enjoying a lifetime for using kooldock, but there are some rough edges (forget for now that I'd love
to see that systray work too). I have some special icons for programs, and I've put them to the kooldock's
Launch area. The problem is that in the area where active programs are shown also the original program
icons are shown. Where are these icons taken from? I guess that this is actually not a kooldock issue, but
a generic KDE one. I might guess too that the same icon-repo is used for the KMenu entries. It would be
nice for those to change automatically too. Thanks. |

Maybe /usr/share/icons?
(Note: I am not a KDE user myself.) |

The search name of those icons are in the *.desktop files. Those files are located in /usr/share/applnk, /usr/share/applications, /usr/kde/<ver>/share/applnk and /usr/kde/<ver>/share/applications
for example: In /usr/kde/3.5/share/applications/kde/konqueror.dektop I found the line:
This means that KDE should search for a icon named konqueror in the default searchpath for icons. -- that is `/usr/kde/3.5/share/icons/hicolor/<size>/apps/konqueror.png' where <size> is one of 16x16, 22x22, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64 or 128x128.
You can override those settings by adding a copy of the *.desktop file to ~/.kde/share/applications or ~/.kde/share/applnk only changing the Icon setting... I think absolute paths to the icon should work -- else add the icons in the same structure as in /usr/kde/<ver>/share/icons to ~/.kde/share/icons |
