MIDlet-icon is not displayed, why?

[doesitmatter]

Nokia 6630
CLDC 1.1
MIDP 2.0
WTK25

I've created a simple MIDlet using WTK25. Now I'm trying to add an icon to this MIDlet which will replace the default MIDlet icon on the phone with an icon specific for this MIDlet (I mean the icon I see on my phone when I start the MIDlet)

So I added an icon to the resource folder. It had the size 29x26, .png... The icon I specified didn't replace the default icon. So I tryed with size 20x20 but that didn't help either!

I specified the icon as this in the settings window (WTK25):
MIDlet-icon = /res/icon.png

What am I doing wrong here?

Usually the midlet icon in WTK is specified as the following:

MIDlet-1: Name of the Midlet, /path_to_the_icon/icon.png, your.classpath.to.TheMidletClass

And if your midlet hasn't icon, the MIDlet-1 entry in the JAD file should be like this:

MIDlet-1: Name of the Midlet,, your.classpath.to.TheMidletClass

Try giving

MIDlet-icon = /icon.png

Try giving

MIDlet-icon = /icon.png

I've tryed this but it didn't help! I have icon.png in the /res folder

Thats fine. It will look for /res for any resource files you specify. /icon.png or just icon.png in menifest shud work.

But it isn't displayed!

The image has the dimensions 37x30, and a 256 color palette.

Any suggestions?

Hi

Try to reduce the dimension of image to 20*20.

Is the image a valid png? Which JAD/manifest attribute are you using to define the icon (see the first message by axs in this thread for correct attribute)?

For getting the proper display of Midlet Icon use Icon of 42 x 24 size with 32 bit resolution. It will appear perfectly on your handset and try to use vector images for midlet icon.

Just occurred to me that doesitmatter tried to set the MIDlet Suite icon. This is not shown on S60 devices. Only the MIDlet icons are shown and they are defined in the JAD properties mentioned in axs' message.

However, on Series 40 phones (at least on some of them) the MIDlets in one JAR are grouped inside the MIDlet Suite icon (so the MIDlet-Icon has some meaning on those devices)
