Default Icon for new Shells [message #528309]

Hey out there,

I was curious if I may have set something up wrong here. So my RCP app has a need to create new shells to allow a user to chat in a single window. The issue is, when I create a new shell, the icon on that shell is different than the one I've set for the application. The main window has the correct Icon and works perfectly. The new shell, isn't picking this icon up and instead shows the default windows dos icon.

First question, is there something wrong with my set up or is this how it is supposed to behave.

Second question, is there a way that I can read the icon set via the windowImages attribute in the product extension point and load it to the shell (using setImage?)

I'm assuming by the 120 views and 0 answers that there isn't a known solution for this problem.

How are you creating a new shell?

We use org.eclipse.jface.window.Window to create our dialogs and
windows, and they have access to getDefaultImage().

I was creating it using new Shell () as I thought that is how it should be done.

How would I create a new shell type object through the org.eclipse.jface.window package?
