I can't seem to get a window icon to appear on my apps. Can some tell me where the icon image files needs to be located to work on a dialog as below.

<window title=\"NASViewer\" icon-name=\"NASviewer16.xpm\">

I've tried the full path as well and that didn't work.

Thanks!

If you click on ROX, the house icon on your desktop and then on Puppy Reference, there will be a number of icon directory links shown.
You can put your icon in any of them although I would suggest /usr/share/mini-icons.
Or you can create a link to it.

Issue 8 within the issue tracker (zigberts issues) has a request for "supporting <item stock=gtk-open>coloumn1|coloumn2</item> from an input file". I came across an example named 09.03-tree_icon_columns that supports <input stock_column="0"> which accepts a stock_id as the first column (icon_column="0" also works for theme icons). Therefore the ability to input stock or theme icons into tree rows from a file already exists and you can do it like this:

Jwm will automatically look for an icon with the _same_ name as your program in its icon path (name.png or name.xpm) ... no 16, case must match etc...just make a symlink without the description of size etc... most wm's do the same.

thunor,
Speaking of examples, what is it with an included example in gtkdialog/examples/09.12-tree-one-column

It is written with an incorrect path to gtkdialog and even though the executable property is set on it, it shows the same as a text file would and not an executable script.
It looks like it is supposed to populate itself with files from the working directory, but does not.
Is it a "fix it yourself" example?
I am just curious as to what it is supposed to display.

Also!! Thank you for the references of documentation for gtkdialog.
It all helps as does this offering by seaside.

Again, I know it has been said many times, but I will say it again.

Thank you thunor!!!

Is there any way to add a filter to gtk-open "fileselect" for specific filetypes?

I'm sure I must be doing something wrong, but when importing a file to the "list" widget and selecting an item, it wasn't linking with the widget "variable"

Is there any way to set a background colour or image in a gtkdialog window?

Thanks

What about gnocl? Because it would be much nicer to have GTK dialogues etc, as this is the standard for everything in Puppy.
