IJC icon

Hi

How do I get IJC to display its own desktop icon instead of the standard java icon? In the master.jnlp file I have:

<icon href="<myserver>/UrlWebApp/frame32.gif" kind="default"/>

and it doesn't work.

Thanks

Anna

You probably need to add

<shortcut online="true">

    <desktop/>

</shortcut>

To your master.jnlp file.

Webstart from chemaxon's (http://www.chemaxon.com/instantjchem-jws/stable/master.jnlp) added icon to my Windows 7 machine.

Hi Peter

the code is already in the jnlp file. The desktop icon is created, but it looks like the standard java icon and I was wondering how to get the IJC icon instead.

Thanks

Anna

It's not still clear for me the icon is correcty shown when you try jws from chemaxon website. What operating system and java version do you use?

Thanks for information

Petr

Hi Petr

I am talking about our own jws deployment. we have Windows XP, Java 1.6.0.20. Here is the JNLP file:

Hi Anna,

I found the problem. The frame32.gif icon was not accessible from the webapplication (e.g. try put the url http://<myserver>:8080/UrlWebApp/frame32.gif to web browser). Possible solution is to copy frame32.gif from jws folder to data folder in UrlWebApp folder user folder. Let me know if it helped you. We will fix this problem in IJC 5.8.

Thanks

Hi Petr,

I  copied the frame32.gif to the data folder, left the URL as it was and it works now.

Thanks!

Anna

While we're at it: where is the IJC icon located on linux (Ubuntu)? Also applies to MarvinBeans: where are the icons?

Thanks,

Evert

Missing icons of JWS-IJC on Ubuntu desktop is issue in Java distribution. We cannot fix it. Missing icons of MarviBeans is known problem in our installer.
