Hi,
I ll say take a look at PyPackager and take a look at the .desktop.
You don't need to have the full path in the icon name ... In OS2007, icon are located here : /usr/share/pixmaps/blackjack.png

'm having the same problem with icon sizes, altho I'm using Pypackager.
It seems to me there are at least four different places where an
application icon appears, and in different sizes.
(0) In the Application Manager - Show installed applications (40?)
(1) In the Task Navigator (64?)
(2) In the Application Switcher - most recently launched (26?)
(3) In the Application Switcher - all running (40?)
There are also at least four different places where I see the icons themselves are
placed when installed:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/26x26/hildon
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/40x40/hildon
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon
/usr/share/pixmaps
The sizes of the 1st two are clear, but the others, not so much.
In addition when using Pypackager there's an enrty area for an "Icon URL"
that lets you select a location in the file system.
Can anyone explain the mapping between where the icons appear when the files are placed. What sizes they are supposed to be? Are there other requirements besides a png file with transparency?
While I can get an icon to appear in the Task Navigator it's not the large one that I want. I can't get the right one to appear in the Application Manager either, and I get the default cubes in both Application Switcher.
And I've read the the Maemo Tutorial and I can't figure it out from that. Thanks for any help.

I've run into the same problem with my Advanced-Backlight statusbar applet. I've done a lot of tests, none of which have been successful at anything besides making me want to throw my n800 at a brick wall. Here are some of the notable tests and their results, and how I interpret the results:
Test 1: Create a new icon and set it as the icon for an applet.
Test 2: Change the icon for an applet to use another applet's icon.
Test 3: Copy an existing icon png over the original png for an applet.
Please note that I rebooted my tablet after each test just to make sure it wasn't a simple caching issue.
I will add more test results here as I get them if they show me anything new. As of now, I really don't want to work on this any more, as it is extremely frustrating to have things just NOT WORK when they should, especially something so trivial.

Test 1: Create a new icon and set it as the icon for an applet.
Code:
Applet: Bluetooth
.desktop file: /usr/share/applications/hildon-status-bar/hildon-status-bar-bluetooth.desktop
Icon: qgn_list_bluetooth_visible
full path: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/26x26/hildon/qgn_list_bluetooth_visible.png
new icon file: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/26x26/hildon/qgn_list_bluetooth_copy.png
what I did: copied the original bluetooth icon png and renamed it
set the Icon variable to: qgn_list_bluetooth_copy
Result: a blank space next to the text Bluetooth where the icon should be.
Interpretation: Icon files not present on the system when it was flashed are not readable by the applet list.
Code:
Applet 1: Bluetooth .desktop file 1: /usr/share/applications/hildon-status-bar/hildon-status-bar-bluetooth.desktop Icon 1: qgn_list_bluetooth_visible Applet 2: Display .desktop file 2: /usr/share/applications/hildon-status-bar/hildon-status-bar-display.desktop Icon 2: qgn_list_displaybright4 what I did: changed value of Icon1 (in .desktop1) to the same as Icon2 (from .desktop2) Result: The icon changes to Icon2, as expected. Interpretation: Icon files that are already present on the system or are in use by other applets can be read normally by any applet, and the Icon variable in the .desktop files DOES affect the icon displayed.
Code:
Applet 1: Bluetooth .desktop file 1: /usr/share/applications/hildon-status-bar/hildon-status-bar-bluetooth.desktop Icon 1: qgn_list_bluetooth_visible full path 1: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/26x26/hildon/qgn_list_bluetooth_visible.png Applet 2: Display .desktop file 2: /usr/share/applications/hildon-status-bar/hildon-status-bar-display.desktop Icon 2: qgn_list_displaybright4 full path 2: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/26x26/hildon/qgn_list_displaybright4.png what I did: replaced the png file from fullpath1 with the file from fullpath2 Result: The bluetooth icon does not change at all. Interpretation: The applet list does not actually get its images from the file system, but possibly caches them somewhere in memory we can't access (similar to the first boot image, for those familiar with that system). Note that I am really only speculating what kind of @&#*ed up stuff is going on here...
I will add more test results here as I get them if they show me anything new. As of now, I really don't want to work on this any more, as it is extremely frustrating to have things just NOT WORK when they should, especially something so trivial.

Interesting... I just looked all over the pages about statusbar applets and such, didn't think about it being a more general issue... That said, it is still odd that rebooting didn't fix the problem, as I did that after every single test and it never affected anything, even though that note suggests it would.

Also I had to run Benson's command and then reboot for my icons to show up. Interesting.

couple of questions..
please lemme know of any good tutorial on creating .deb's that are gonna require dependencies.. and a .install file, i think i got it.. but maemo had me bouncing between a few different sites.. just wanna make sure i get this right, cuz the user's gonna need ruby-maemo and becomeroot packages i believe.. maybe a few others.. definitely wanna make it as easy as possible for the end user
icons, i've changed some stuff in the .desktop file for it to load up an icon i put in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon i've also tried /usr/share/icons/hicolor/26x26/hildon but to no avail.. it's a transparent png.. but maybe i didnt save it the right size or something, any help on this would be appreciated..
also is it right to just have Icon=blackjack in the .desktop or would a full path be better/doable?
thanks!
