The + file name of the icon should be the same as the executable with a \c .png + extension. You also need a \c .desktop file that gives the window manager + hints about the application, such as name, type and icon. + + \quotefile examples/widgets/applicationicon/applicationicon.desktop + + The \c Icon field should also contain the name of the executable. On the + device, application icons are stored in the + \c /usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps directory + and desktop files in the \c /usr/share/applications/hildon directory. + + \section1 Creating an icon for Symbian + + Symbian uses Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG Tiny 1.1+) to render + application icons in the application menu. Therefore icons could be + created manually with a text editor, since SVG files are plain text with + XML syntax, but usually you would use a vector graphics program that is + able to output SVG files. Popular graphics programs such as Adobe + Illustrator or Inkscape are able to do so. + + For best results, the icon should be created on a 44x44 pixel canvas. + Otherwise the image might be scaled in unexpected ways. + + Once you have created your icon, make sure that it is stored according to + the SVG-Tiny 1.1+ standard. Inkscape, for instance, is not able to save + images that way, but there are tools that can convert general SVG files + into the Tiny format. For instance, the svg2svgt tool that is bundled with + Symbian 3rd and 5th editon SDKs under the folder s60tools can do this + conversion to some extent. Another tool to convert SVG to SVG Tiny is SVG + Pony. + + \section1 Adding the icons to the project + + Edit the .pro file and specify the ICON variable for the symbian target. + For Maemo, we need to add that the \c .desktop and icon file should be + installed. + + \quotefile examples/widgets/applicationicon/applicationicon.pro + + Currently, Qt Creator doesn't include the icon and desktop files in the + application package for Maemo, merely the executable file is included. As a + workaround for this, the files can be added manually in the Projects tab. + In the "Create Package" build step for the Maemo target, the \c .desktop + file and icon can be added to be a part of the package contents. + Unfortunately, these additions are only stored as a part of the + \c .pro.user file. This issue will be resolved in a future release of + Qt Creator. + + \image appicon_packagecontents.png Manual addition of files to the "Create Package" build step +*/ |
