This page describes how to set the application icons. These are icons in the window bar, for desktop files and are also used internally in several dialogs. If you wish to know how to change the icons used inside the program for buttons and the like please refer to this page.

Application Icon

Because the application icon must be available outside the program (for instance from desktop files) it needs to be defined at build time and if it exists will be installed during the make install phase. A full size range of icons are provided with CMST including a scalable (SVG) version. These should be installed automatically during the make install phase and no further action is required.

System Theme Icon

If you would prefer a Freedesktop.org named icon to be used for the program instead of the supplied icons that is also possible. What you need to do is go into the /images/application directory and remove or rename the cmst-icon.png file. Once that is done go through the normal build process and the Application Icon should be the preferences-system-network from your current theme. If you change icon themes the icon will update to the image in the new theme.
