I'm running Openbox with Docky panel. After doing a Debian Stretch upgrade it upgraded lxterminal, now docky doesn't show lxterminal icon. It is showing a generic icon. Is there a way to get the original terminal icon back on docky?

I've copied the image file from /usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/lxterminal.png to /usr/share/pixmaps, but no change. All other icons in docky are the correct ones.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thnx.

Not using either, but I can offer some suggestions:

I inspected /usr/share/applications/lxterminal.desktop, and found the icon specified as

Perhaps docky is not looking in the right place for the icon. I honestly don't know where docky expects to find it. Have you tried putting a copy in /usr/share/icons? How about in ~/.icons? Both per the xdg spec, however /usr/share/pixmaps is per the spec as well and should work. To not have copies all over I'd symlink rather than copy, but that's my own personal preference.

Perhaps the theme is messing things up. Try https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...ns_and_emblems, see if that helps.

The last thing I would try would be to edit the .desktop file to specify the icon as an absolute path. Of course this will likely break in the future. As an alternative, copy the .desktop to .local/share/applications and edit it, and replace your current launcher in docky to your local copy. This may be more immune to future breakage.

Thanks. I'll try those suggestions. Will report back later or tomorrow.

I tried those suggestions and still not using lxterminal's icon. I have since stopped using Docky and trying Lxpanel, which I'm finding to be enjoyable.

Thanks.
