Subject: icewm: Displays black box instead of icon for Emacs 21

Date: Sun, 26 Feb 2006 11:04:12 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: icewm
Version: 1.2.25-1
Severity: normal

When Emacs 21 is started with the "-i" option (e.g. via the menu:
Apps-> Editors -> Emacs 21 (X11)), IceWM displays a black box instead
of the Gnu head as its icon.  This happens in the window title (see
the attached screenshot), in the taskbar and in the task selection
(with Alt-TAB).  I have absolutely no idea how this comes, but since
the problem does not show up under KDE, I'm reporting it as a bug in
IceWM.  Note that such a problem does not show up with any other
program I use; also, in the Apps/Editors menu, a Gnu head is correctly
displayed as the icon for Emacs 21.

retitle 354434 icewm: Displays black box instead of icon for some applications
thanks

Yesterday evening I noticed the same ugly black box displayed as
window "icon" for xine, so this problem is probably not related to
emacs21.  Still, I have no clue what's going on here. :-(

I also see this problem with "nedit" and with "xmcd".

Icewm version 1.2.25-1 shows this problem (black box instead of icon). In
version 1.2.20+21pre1-3 everything is fine (no black box).

The problem with nedit and xmcd also exists, when I start these applications
remotely via ssh and X11-forwarding.

Subject: Black shape icon

Date: Sat, 21 Jun 2008 10:53:55 +0200

I have the same problem for some applications (e.g. packagesearch or
assistant from qt4-dev-tools), though it is not a black square being
shown, but the black silhouette of every non-transparant region.
However, it is probably the same bug. 
Packagesearch uses the QPixmap class from QT to load the icon. I've
tried to load both XPM and PNG files with no difference.
It seems to happen mostly for QT applications (might be only for
QT4-apps). 
Perhaps that helps tracking down the problem.


Best regards Ben

Subject: icewm: Some applications show "black" icon silhouettes in taskbar

Date: Sun, 08 Mar 2009 00:28:52 +0600

Package: icewm
Followup-For: Bug #354434


I've seen this bug, too.

Some applications show "black" icon silhouettes in taskbar, window tile
bar and task switcher (Alt-Tab). Looks like alpha channel is applied
instead of picture channel.

I experimented a bit with VirtualBox, some results:
 * In etch, lenny and squeeze bug is present. Psi uses qt3 in etch, and
 works fine.

This is not something with X driver: bug is seen on ati, nvidia-glx and
vesa driver.

Applications affected:
 * xcalc
 * xclock
 * psi (in lenny and squeeze)
 * skype (on etch only static build shows "black")
 * Xnest
 * xine (package xine-ui)

Package: icewm
Version: 1.2.35-1
Followup-For: Bug #354434


It's two bugs, actually.

1. 1-bit XWMHints icons are rendered improperly (xcalc, xclock).
instead of being black and white, they are black and amost black
(RGBA value of "white" is 0,0,1,255).

Here is a patch for this issue (against icewm-1.2.37):

diff -r dcf7aaedd3eb wmframe.cc
--- a/wmframe.cc	Mon Mar 09 19:09:16 2009 +0600
+++ b/wmframe.cc	Mon Mar 09 21:01:35 2009 +0600

             ref<YPixmap> img(new YPixmap(w, h));
             Graphics g(img, 0, 0);

             g.setColorPixel(0);
             g.setClipMask(pixmap);

After this black-and-white icons of xcalc/xclock are shown properly,
and psi/skype icons are no longer black (still no color, but not black).

2. fullcolor icons exported in _NET_WM_ICON property (modern Qt4
applications - skype, psi) are not handled by icewm 1.2, and it never
supported this. Upstream has this feature in 1.3 branch.
I'll try to backport it into 1.2.

Subject: [PATCH] no more black icons for psi / skype / xclock / xcalc / keepassx

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

See attachment.
Applies to icewm_1.2.37 from squeeze.
Includes previous patch (xclock / xcalc icons).

A couple of functions were backported from 1.3 branch.
Psi / Skype / keepassx icons look fine now.
Sometimes psi icons are created b/w (open/close dialog box several times
to see this), but I guess it's not an icewm bug - at least, it can be
seen in LXDE, too. Probably something with psi/qt.

Better patch is attached.
This one also works for applications that only export "large" icons
(larger then 48x48) - for example, djview4.
