Zathura is missing an icon [SOLVED]

brontosaurusrex · 2018-07-03 18:00:19

After being annoyed by various pdf readers I have rediscovered Zathura. The problem is that the icon doesn't seem to show up (in tint2, neither in ob task switcher). Tryed the usual torturing of the zathura.desktop file, but that doesn't make any difference. Also tryed to backport version from sid (and the one in git), but that didn't happen... Any hints? (Debian Stretch).

WFM using both tint2 and xfce4-panel.

The icon is a slightly stylized hashtag in black. Is it possible your theme's background-color is obscuring it?

-edit- I'm on buster, I don't have a stretch install to test ATM.

-edit- I tested using Paper icons.

If it's invisible with a dark theme, that's a bug to me. You can install your own icon from /debian when repackaging if you want to fix it yourself instead of waiting for Debian to do it. Binary icons need to be listed in debian/source/list-binaries, but ASCII-based ones like .xpm or .svg formats don't need to be listed. I have a feeling that the xpm format is preferred, looking at existing packages.

I don't get it, though, the file list looks the same...
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/amd … a/filelist
https://packages.debian.org/buster/amd6 … a/filelist

Try martix's fix from 2016...

^ Great, that did the trick, so now in the winning .config/zathura/zathurarc

set guioptions ""
set recolor true

set recolor-darkcolor "#86A1A7"
set recolor-lightcolor "#333D4D"

# give me icon
set window-icon ~/.icons/Papirus-GTK/48x48/mimetypes/application-pdf.svg

Unrelated to this thread, but this is how your average pdf would look like.
