SL Icon Missing From Latest Releases?

Hi,

In the most recent two (Linux) releases there appears to be no icon to use in, say, a desktop icon.

Is this an oversight? Is there somewhere I can get such an icon file? Almost any format would work: SVG, PNG, JPG / JPEG, GIF.

Thanks.

i was irritated by the same thing when i tried to make a launcher for SL on my ... bar thing. in gnome (2.20.1) using ubuntu (7.10)

i looked in the viewers folder and there was a .ico file there, but it seems gnome kept looking for .png for icons... so i opened up the .ico in gimp and cut out a bunch of layers that (i'm assuming) are different sizes used with .ico files. anyway, cut it down to just one layer (layer 10, i believe. the largest hand...) and 'save as : .png). after that gnome still wasn't finding the .png in the second life folder so i did a

sudo cp /home/mneten/SecondLife_i686_1_19_0_5/secondlife.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps

and

sudo cp /home/mneten/SecondLife_i686_1_19_0_5/secondlife.png /usr/share/pixmaps

... make sure, obviously, to replace the secondlife directory with where you saved the .png file, and use whatever folder gnome tries to look at for icons when setting up a launcher (/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps for me, you can find out by right clicking on the launcher, go to properties, go to icon and looking up at the top to see what directory it defaults to looking in)

etc, etc, anyway, this worked okay for me to get the secondlife icon in the list there.

*edit: oooh, unless your talking about the RC? in which case i found a .bmp that works okay in the res-sdl folder, but yeah, no .ico or anything in the main folder :/

Mneten,

Thanks for the information. Somehow I forgot to look for BMP files. This one:

res-sdl/ll_icon.BMP

is acceptable, though it doesn't have proper transparency, just a dark background filling out the icon rectangle.

It's better than nothing!

If you want the actual .ico, just download the release viewer and extract secondlife.ico from there.

It may be a good idea to save it somewhere else in case this happens again.

Also, it would be nice if LL were to include a .png for the LInux viewer. The .ico files aren't recognized as icons by default by KDE, although you can force it to use them.
