Hi,

I started my Eclipse 4 application in the context of Eclipse 4.3 M3. As described in another topic, configuring the window icon in the application model will now show the window icon correctly in the window itself.

Now there is still the issue that it is not possible to supply multiple sizes/resolutions for window icons, like it was possible in Eclipse 3.x via product branding. For example, on Windows 7 the icon shown in the task bar is the same as used within the window itself. You can expect that this looks really ugly as the icon shown in the task bar is bigger than in the window.

For me it looks like the configuration of the product branding isn't evaluated in Eclipse 4. Is this correct?

I can remember that the bug for missing window icons is refering to this issue as well. Am I correct that this is still open?

After doing a bit more research, yes this bug seems to be still open:

Greez,
Dirk

Is there some workaround on this issue? Because looking at the Eclipse IDE itself, there are window icons in several sizes. I know it uses the compatibility layer, but maybe there is an option to do this now on Eclipse 4 I haven't found yet?

Hi Dirk,

the code in WBWRenderer, which is responsible to set the image looks like this:
if (wbwModel.getIconURI() != null && wbwModel.getIconURI().length() > 0) {
	wbwShell.setImage(getImage(wbwModel));
} else {
	wbwShell.setImages(Window.getDefaultImages());
}

I haven't tried it, but imho as a workaround you can leave the icon field in the model empty and use Window.setDefaultImages(Image[] images) to set the images for example on @PostContextCreate in your life cycle handler.

Hope that helps
Christoph

Christoph, can you post a more complete code? I am facing the same problem and I didn't understand what you said.

Thanks.

Hi Rafael

I don't have any code ready, since I am happy with a single icon which I define in the application model (Bug 280825 has been fixed).

Otherwise, you can use the API in JFace 'Window' class to set the multiple images. Maybe Dirk has some sample code for you?

If you want to know what is happening under the covers, put a breakpoint in WBWRenderer.

Greetings
Christoph

Hi,

yes I have a sample code. I created a lifecycle hook and implemented the following method:

@PostContextCreate
public void postContextCreate() {
	Window.setDefaultImages(new Image[] { //add your images here });
}


Hope that helps,
Dirk

Hi Dirk, can you tell me how you are loading those images? The setImage function doesn't accept any image I load.
