Title: I can not get my icon into wbar
Post by: Friedl on June 30, 2009, 03:43:05 PM

Hi,

I've problems to get the icon for my extension (vice.tce) into the wbar, neither appears the application in the menu. The vice.png image itself seems to be ok - it appears nicely instead of for example the opera image if I rename it to opera.png.

I think I've done everything according to the wiki. Does anyone know what is wrong? Do I need any additional step to activate this besides of placing the files into /usr/local/tce.icons/ and /usr/local/tce.menu ?

Those files seem to be ok. Just to check, they are inside your modified vice.tce and the extension is named exactly vice.tce?

Hi,

No, I had them outside of the vice.tce. Now with the icon and menu file inside, things are different: at least the "C64 Emulator" entry properly appears in the menu :)

But wbar aborts  :( Starting it manually results in this error message:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ wbar -bpress -config /usr/local/tce.wbar        
Using /usr/local/tce.wbar config file.
Xlib:  extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".
Using a Super Bar.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'char const*'
AbortedLooks like an unhandled exception?!

The weird thing is that it keeps aborting even after I delete the two tce.icons/vice* files, no matter whether I try to start it with the command above or with "Exit/Restart->Restart Wbar".
I can only get it running with the command "wbar" without options - but then without any of the additional icons beside the three default ones.

Is it possible to enable logging for wbar?

If someone wants to try it out: here is the modified vice.tce: [^thehatsrule^: removed as per guidelines]
(the dependencies are alsa.tcel, alsa-oss.tcel and graphics-libs-1.tcel)

Sorry - I found out that there were trailing whitespaces in the tce.icons/vice file. I've seen that this is not accepted and had removed them before but they had already been copied into the tce.wbar and I did not know that file up to today. Now it works fine and I've resubmitted the vice extension.

Still I wonder how the errorhandling could be improved. Where does this wbar come from? Whom could I ask to add some exception handling (or maybe even skipping of trailing whitespaces)
