^ as title says.
Where does it look for the program icons? For example, on menu-internet- i have iron web browser, with the icon. When i open it, in the tasklist i dont have the iron tab with the icon, just a big red X. Same happens with other programs, puredata, yoshimi, etc. thanks

I had the same problem with Firefox, but fixed it with this solution (by Semme):

I'm not sure if the sequence of folders is the same for the programs you mentioned, but I'm sure someone else will know...

Thanks but nope, it's a different problem i think.

I've tried many things and still no luck.

Anyone?

capicoso,

Are you referring to the desktop configuration files which amongst other things can include the application icon? If so, the .desktop files are found here: --> /usr/share/applications directory.

Hi,

The picture below shows capicoso's problem. In my case it also applies to a few apps (all different from those already mentioned).

I believe you may be trying to change the gtkdialog icons for the gtkdialog apps, which in most cases are just using the generic X icon. This is why I don’t just show the icon in the tasklist, but also the name.

You can change this in /root/.jwmrc-tray (hit eye in rox, it is hidden) by editing it to read like so:
