How to add icons to categories? about nwg-drawer

[bernharl]

Yeah, I built it into a local directory using DESTDIR anyway :)

[nwg-piotr]

Thank you!

how do I add those?

During installation, definitions should be copied to /usr/share/nwg-drawer/desktop-directories. Icon names are defined in the same way as in .desktop files. See this folder. Button images are being set with:

button, _ = gtk.ButtonNewFromIconName(cat.Icon, gtk.ICON_SIZE_MENU)

so you should always see an icon, or "image-missing" if name not found.

Don't you see icons at all? I've just realized, that I didn't set AlwaysShowImage in this place, so you may see no icons if your Gtk theme forces this. Check your ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini for the gtk-button-images value. Let me know if you find the culprit.

No, just text. I've attached a screenshot.

Check your ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini for the gtk-button-images value.

I do not have this file at all. I set my gtk theme to breeze-gtk.
I do have the file /usr/share/themes/Breeze/settings.ini, though.
It contains:

gtk-cursor-theme-name=breeze_cursors
gtk-modules=colorreload-gtk-module
gtk-error-bell=0

Will you be able to clone and build from GitHub directly, to check if adding the missing line of code helps?

Cloning and building from Master works. The icons now show, thank you!
When will you do a new release?

Well, what I'm working on at the moment, won't be finished soon, if at all. I'll release the current Master tonight. You'll need to uninstall what you built, and install the package, of course.
