GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 114041
Lack of WM-menu icon and about box icon
Last modified: 2021-06-01 22:42:47 UTC
Ralph Aichinger reported the follwing to the Debian BTS at: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=193994 Summary: Balsa 2.0.11 just shows the plain white "Document"-icon in the window menu and in the window list. My comments: Please also note that Help->About dialog shows the stock GNOME foot instead of the Balsa logo.
For me it also shows the plain document for the about-dialog in the window-browser (not sure what you mean by menu and list), it has no extra window in the task-list, It should be easy to fix and I'll try to provide a patch.
2.0.13 released, tkx Darko
Please reopen this bug. About->Balsa still shows the GNOME foot.
Problem confirmed. Reopening.
Well, the about-box is using the correct icon in the window- and tasklist at least, which is the most important. The About Dialog displays a gnome foot as many other apps do, ok, but what to replace it with exactly? I'm not sure if there is a definite "balsa-logo". Should we use the envelope-iicon which is used for the menu-entries, or should we use the bigger balsa-banner from the druid, or should we (better: anyone apart from me) design something completely new? If that's decided, I'd gladly take care of it.
Created attachment 21732 [details] [review] patch to correct the logo in the AboutWindow
Attached you find a patch which should reliably correct the issue. As seen in the code, it was intended to display the big balsa_logo, as expected, but the path was wrong. I did some more little changes to the AboutWindow: - updated developers credits from AUTHORS - added documenter credits as listed in the manual itself - changed copyright line in the way galeon does it I'd also lilke to change the comment-string, but it would break the string, so that's probably something for 2.1 only.
Commited to both active branches. Thanks a lot!
This bug has resurfaced in 2.3.0.

Cvs now has code to restore the default window icon, lost a few releases ago. Could you check whether any of these issues are resolved?
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/balsa/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
