Custom App Icon?

[Rozik]

Hello everyone,

i am trying to get a custom Application Icon to show for my application but its not working.

I read the S60 Scalable UI Support SDK Docukment and followed the instructions but all i get is the standard application Icon:-(

Here is what i do:

I have two Bitmaps in the ./Bitmap folder

IconLarge.bmp and IconMedium.bmp

i have a Icons_aif.mk file:

ifeq (WINS,$(findstring WINS, $(PLATFORM)))
ZDIR=\epoc32\release\$(PLATFORM)\$(CFG)\Z
else
ZDIR=\epoc32\data\z
endif


TARGETDIR=$(ZDIR)\RESOURCE\myapp
ICONTARGETFILENAME=$(TARGETDIR)\myapp_AIF.MBM

do_nothing :
@rem do_nothing
MAKMAKE : do_nothing
BLD : do_nothing
CLEAN : do_nothing
LIB : do_nothing
CLEANLIB : do_nothing

RESOURCE :
mifconv $(ICONTARGETFILENAME) \
/c12 IconLarge.bmp \
/c12 IconMedium.bmp

FREEZE : do_nothing
SAVESPACE : do_nothing
RELEASABLES :
@echo $(ICONTARGETFILENAME)
FINAL : do_nothing

i have a bld.inf file:

PRJ_PLATFORMS
WINSCW ARMV5 GCCE

PRJ_MMPFILES

myapp.mmp

gnumakefile icons_aif.mk

i have a _reg file:

#include <appinfo.rh>
#include <myapp.rsg>

UID2 KUidAppRegistrationResourceFile
UID3 0xE01F98B1

RESOURCE APP_REGISTRATION_INFO
{
app_file = "myapp";
localisable_resource_file = "resource\\apps\\myapp";
localisable_resource_id = R_myapp_LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO;
}

and i have this in my .rss file:

RESOURCE LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO r_myapp_localisable_app_info
{
  short_caption=string_myapp_shortcaption;
  caption_and_icon=
  CAPTION_AND_ICON_INFO
  {
    caption=string_myapp;
    number_of_icons = 2; //1 for SVG
    icon_file = "\\Resource\\Apps\\myapp_AIF.MBM";
  };
}

i have the following mmp file:

i would ask you to use .svg icons rather than bmp's.
you could get more details in this thread.

I read that thread and thats why i read the SDK document.

Why would switching to .svg solve my problem?

in the document it states code for both .svg and .bmp so switching to svg i would think it would take me right to the point i am at right now

the file myapp_AIF.MBM is never being built though:-(

nm solved it:-)

added this to my mmp file:

START BITMAP myapp_AIF.MBM
	TARGETPATH \resource\apps
	HEADER
	SOURCEPATH                              ..\Bitmaps
	SOURCE									c12 IconMedium.bmp 
	SOURCE                                  1 IconMediumMask.bmp 
	SOURCE									c12 IconLarge.bmp 
	SOURCE                                  1 IconLargeMask.bmp 
END
