I had to do a install of the Linux viewer on a new installation of Ubuntu 8.04. Since I don't care for the generic box icon of a desktop link, I went to the SL directory and looked for the thoughtfully provided SL icon that - I guess - *used* to be included with the Linux viewer.. Apparently LL in their infinite wisdom removed it, as it doesnt seem to be anywhere in the viewer directory or subs... Yes.. I *know* I can grab the icon from Windows and save it as a png for use on Linux, but I'm really close to being Windows-less on all of my systems, and don't have SL installed on the one Windows machine I'm still stuck with... What gives??

The icon path is:
<SL directory>/res-sdl/ll_icon.bmp

In the RC there's a bigger Icon in PNG format, ./secondlife_icon.png.
Cheers,

linux icons are for the most part png files, windows icons are ico files .. which is some form of screwed up bitmap (thinking a1r5g5b5 16 bit bitmaps with some info data attached to them after the image data to link them them with applications)
i never really cared enough too look

i never really cared enough too look The old secondlife.ico that used to be included in the root directory of the Linux SL viewer, worked fine when loaded on an Ubuntu desktop "shortcut".. I found the ones "hidden" in the RC and current viewer and converted the RC one to a PNG and saved it for futher use in /usr/share/pixmaps.. BTW: Hi Osgeld! Long time no see!! Guess you don't come by the Shelter much anymore... Tas |
