OPenbox + new Icon set

[shrimp123]

Hi,

I use lately switched to openbox+pypanel+torsmo+idesk.

Now, all windows (like xterm, emacs, etc) have same icons in pypanel and on the window toolbar of openbox. Even ALT-TAB gives the same icons for all of them. However, some apps like firfox(yaa) get a different icon.

Can i get some help in modifying this behaviour to a more sensible, app-based icons?

thanks,
Kiran.

This is done because those applications do not have a set X icon for that purpose. There is nothing you can do to change that unless you code it into them.

like u mean in the openbox code?

then how is it that some applications (firefox, xv, xemacs) are displayed right?

thanks,

may be this is stupid... but here is what i did to achieve what i wanted.

i want the pypanel to display the icons right. for xterm and emacs (i have very little use in the laptop using pypanel)

so, i code that up in pypanel. Not sure if this is good since i am not a code writer for butter (or bread for that matter).
(pypanel-2.2)
