The icon it is looking for is not even in the directories it has to play with or the entire system.
Code:
(userx@slacko⚡️~)>>$ sudo find / -iname osxbarback.png
find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for `/proc/fs' (saw only st_nlink=8 but we already saw 6 subdirectories): this may be a bug in your file system driver. Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option. Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should have been searched.
find: `/home/userx/.gvfs': Permission denied

I only got one usable config file to this too, no ~/ config file it is on the system side and that is it.
Code:
(userx@slacko⚡️~)>>$ sudo find / -iname wbar.cfg

14.2 > Desktop > wbar (2.3.4)
wbar is a quick launch bar.
* It's cool eye candy
* It's designed with speed in mind
* It's coded in c++ using imlib2
* It's lite & fast
This requires: imlib2

I did get it to work by coping the dock.png to osxbarback.png so it'd use that one instead. I need to try on more thing with that wbar.cfg as it looks like the comments # does not work within it. So I'm just going to remove that line all together for the osxbarback.png and use the other one instead and see what it does first before trying that email address.
it has something stragne going on with this wbar itself.
I removed the pidgin lines all together in the conf file after getting it to work once, then killed it then restarted it and get an error on it again. When the config file does not even have anything within it to tell it to load that.
I don't use wbar so I'm no help with your problem.
The email address of the maintainer was written that way to try to avoid web page scrapers that collect email addresses for spam and other undesired purposes. Writing email addresses this way is common. Of course you have to convert it to the proper format when actually sending an email.
EDIT: Took too long to reply. Dugan already said it

I understand why it is written like that it just looked strange to me to be an actual email address, as that member part through me. I already sent an email to inform the person. I have not seen a bad address return yet.
My tinkering with this is getting it to work. So yes marked solved.
haha this is my reply. I hope putting this in here in not inappropriate

Hey there!
Do you want to take over the build? I never use it.

@BW-userx
Looks like an opportunity for you to become and expert at wbar and support Slackware by maintaining the build. If you are interested you should read all of the documentation at slackbuilds.org. As dugan mentioned they have their own mailing list.

It's good that you're considering the appropriateness of this. I would recommend NOT including the email address of the responder. They probably don't want it broadcast this way. You can go back and edit that out of your post.

well NOT for that. But it did give me a notion to submit my own modification to a program I forked a while back. Giving it some well needed abilities. It does work in Slack and Linux in general. I am using it right now via gkrellm -> desktop wall paper changer add on (plugin). Instead of the bash sctipt I wrote for it to do amazing things with the background (desktop).
to give it a plug:
hsetroot is now mhsetroot google it.
I just need to write a slackbuild file and needed install files to work with it.

thanks looked but didn't catch that email thing until I looked again upon your prompting.

Feel free to say no.
I already did, and am currently in answering him on what this problem actaully is. in the wbar source somewhere it is not doing what it is suppose to when adding the like to show the background png file for wbar itself. it is telling it to add the dock.png then not doing not that when it installs it. insteads it adds a different png file to use that is not even installed by the process.
I just started looking into it, and giving him this information.
