Hi, how can I actually implement this?

My script doesn't update the icon.

Code:

sh /usr/share/harbour-dynclock/script.sh
cp /usr/share/harbour-dynclock/clock.png /usr/share/themes/jolla-ambient/meegotouch/z1.0/icons/icon-launcher-clock.png
desktop-file-install /usr/share/applications/jolla-clock.desktop
rm -rf /usr/share/applications/jolla-clock.desktop
echo '[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Clock
X-MeeGo-Logical-Id=clock-ap-name
X-MeeGo-Translation-Catalog=clock
Icon=icon-launcher-clock
Exec=invoker -s --type=silica-qt5 /usr/bin/jolla-clock
Comment=Jolla clock
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.20' > /usr/share/applications/jolla-clock.desktop
desktop-file-install /usr/share/applications/jolla-clock.desktop

Probably a bug in lipstick so it doesnt reload icon. You can fill a bug to tjc or nemomobile github repo.

I use it this way... For example 2 scripts:
1. active.sh:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

rm -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/86x86/apps/betterperformance-on.png
rm -f /usr/share/applications/openrepos-betterperformance.desktop
/usr/share/openrepos-betterperformance/update-icon
su -l nemo -c "python /usr/share/openrepos-betterperformance/notifier1.py"
cp -f /usr/share/openrepos-betterperformance/betterperformance-off.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/86x86/apps
echo '[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Inactive
Exec=/usr/share/openrepos-betterperformance/betterperformance-root
Icon=betterperformance-off
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.20' > /usr/share/applications/openrepos-betterperformance.desktop
/usr/share/openrepos-betterperformance/update-icon

2. inactive.sh:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

rm -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/86x86/apps/betterperformance-off.png
rm -f /usr/share/applications/openrepos-betterperformance.desktop
/usr/bin/desktop-file-install /usr/share/applications/openrepos-betterperformance.desktop
su -l nemo -c "python /usr/share/openrepos-betterperformance/notifier2.py"
cp -f /usr/share/openrepos-betterperformance/betterperformance-on.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/86x86/apps
echo '[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Active
Exec=/usr/share/openrepos-betterperformance/betterperformance-root
Icon=betterperformance-on
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.20' > /usr/share/applications/openrepos-betterperformance.desktop
/usr/bin/desktop-file-install /usr/share/applications/openrepos-betterperformance.desktop

Most of the times it working without any problem, but sometimes it not updating, probably like Coderus said - problem in lipstick, in this case -> restart lipstick.

Thank you so much to the both of you!

I managed to get my icon updated, but I have noticed that the icon is updated only if desktop-file-install triggers a file with a different name, so in my case I had to rename the new icon with something different from the previous icon of the desktop file otherwise it's not updated.

So if I have 1.png and 2.png and I want to re-apply 1.png to my desktop file I must run the script applying 2.png first and then I can apply 1.png, if I just re-apply 1.png it doesn't work (ofc, unless I refresh the whole homescreen).

Well, it's kinda weird and convoluted, I don't really know why it happens and surely don't have enough knowledge to dig into this, that's been just some emprirical observations.

Yep, known... This is a reason I use different icons and always delete icon at beginning of my script and copy icon before creating new .desktop file.
