TIA

I don't understand what it is you're saying.

What I did is:

Placed an 64x64 icon called 'gnome.png' in '/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/'.

Edited my gnome.desktop file to look like this (notice the Icon=gnome line).

Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=GNOME
GenericName=GNOME
Exec=/usr/bin/hostwin GNOME 'sudo debian xpgnome'
Icon=gnome
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
Terminal=true
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Then ran:
Code:
gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/
Result:

Thanks. I was putting the .png like the ooo-gulls had. My menus look great now. Many thanks.

Bringing this thread back on-topic (gasp!), Audacity seems to work well, which is cool.

Also, what is a good music player for debian? There seem to be a lot of options.

@dan:

I installed GMPC and it loads fine. I don't have any music servers (or whatever that program is used for...), so I couldn't test anything, but it seemed ok to me.

BrentDC thanks. Yes I too can load GMPC but don't know how to test. What would I need to test?

Emelfm2 for Debian packaged by Fatalsaint is better than maemo version. great job Fatalsaint!

I have no idea. I don't know anything about gmpc...

Yes, thanks fatalsaint!

BTW, I just installed Inkscape....let's put it this way: It makes OpenOffice look like Numpty-Physics in terms of tablet friendliness :rolleyes:

... So Inkscape actually de-activates the touchscreen, and all functionality must be accessed only through right-click? :eek:

"Debian Applications the run like CRAP on the Tablet"

Thanks to Fatalsaint's porting of new repositry we now have QTStalker running smoothly and fast on Nxx's. I would put this app up there with Emelfm2 in ease of use and power. Use a mouse it has a lot of features that come into play. QTStalker is for stock analysis BTW. :)
Anyone know how to fix a broken icon cache? It broke after I did an icon update with' gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ ' :(

You need mpd, available for maemo, or you could run it on another system (with speakers) and control it over the network. I use mpd with (Maemo) Sonata & (chroot) gmpc for most music playing.

Thanks Benson. So if I understand you correctly we need to add mpd and Sonata to maemo and then open gmpc in chroot. How do we configure gmpc to see mpd and Sonata? This is really exciting because GMPC looks really powerful. I'm a newbie to all these music apps. TIA
