(Solved) Radiotry icon in quicklaunch missing

[scoundrel]

been meaning to mention this.. but the radiotray icon in the quick launch area has reverted to one of those default type icons .. it still works as radiotray, just the icon picture is missing ..

tried to replace it, but it keeps going to the default type gray square with a white lining .. pc menu icon still shows the right one ..

anyone know a fix for it ?

New install in VBox - updated - installed radiotray.  Not sure what you mean with quick launch area - but I added it to the panel and had the correct icon.

However - when I start it up nothing is happening.  In the terminal it gives the impression it is running - but it doesn't come up in the systray.  Not sure if this is related but something is rotten ....

sorry, not clear enough.. application launch bar.. panel

Yes - I added it to an "Application Launch Bar" in the panel.  Normal icon.

Just not working when started - but that's for another day and thread.

What icon-theme are you using, might not be included.   If so, add
the icon to /usr/share/icons and any theme should pick it up then,
when it isn't in that particular theme for RadioTray.

Have a good one.

copied radiotray.png into /usr/share/icons and its still not showing on the panel.. I can see it when I ad it in, but it never appears on the panel as radiotray.png.. even tried log out/in ?? 

edit: after messing with the icon themes it is now showing in the panel ??  and I am using the same theme as before?? must have needed messing with to work ?

scoundrel,
The better fix, I believe, is to edit (as root) /usr/share/applications/radiotray.desktop. Change line #8 from ---     

Icon=radiotray

to ---     
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/radiotray.png     

or ---     
Icon=/usr/share/radiotray/images/radiotray.png

thanks dude.. that does do the trick ..

You're welcome. When it comes to fixing an icon's display, an edit of the .desktop file is usually the way to go. By default, the icon line uses the name of the icon, but when it isn't displaying everywhere it should, a change to the full path will do the trick.
