Configuring icons

Defining a picture for icons

The picture clause specifies the name of the bitmap or pixmap file to be used for the icons of all files in the specified group. It has the format:

   picture=filename;

If filename begins with ``/'', it is taken as an absolute pathname. Otherwise, the Desktop searches the sequence of picture file directories, specified by the pictureDirectory resource. By default, the Desktop searches for pictures in the following order:

/usr/lib/X11/IXI/XDesktop/bitmaps/xdt_c_large
$HOME/.xdt_dir/bitmaps/xdt_large
/usr/lib/X11/IXI/XDesktop/bitmaps/xdt_large

Picture files are provided in the following subdirectories of /usr/lib/X11/IXI/XDesktop/bitmaps:

local_large: your own large [64x64] color icons
xdt_large: the Desktop's default large [64x64] color icons
xdt_small: the Desktop's default small [32x32] color icons
xdt_c_large: large [32x32] cursors
xdt_c_small: small [16x16] cursors
