Does anyone know where the taskbar icons in lxpanel is fetched from? Because all the launcher icons are fine, and there I can manually choose those that aren`t by editing the desktop-files. But what about the task-icons? For some apps the resolution on the task-icons is way to low to look good in a panel with big icons/buttons. So do I have to look around to manually replace small icons with larger ones in any location where it might be fetched from, or is there a way to detect where the origin is?
Any task will have it's own defined icon that is from the application or a .desktop environment
If you look how the VSIDO lxpanel config is you would see this
Config {
Button {
id=/usr/share/applications/icew.desktop
That icew.desktop is where I tell both the launcher and the task what icon to use...
Others may not have a .desktop file, or may have a poorly defined image in the .desktop file..
An example would help and one that I do know of is xarchiver... it's image is lame and very poor quality so if I want to change that I would go to
/usr/share/applications/xarchiver.desktop and locate what icon it is using which is
Icon=xarchiver
If I wanted to change that icon, I would do this
Icon=/path/to/icon/iconIwant.png
All icons in VSIDO is from /usr/share/icons/LinuxLex-8
You can add to those is you want, or install additional icon packages
Strange. I`m aware of that, but I have a issue where this isn`t respected. This app hasn`t got an icon in Linux-Lex, so I had to set it manually.
As an example, this is from my lxpanel-config:
Button {
id=/usr/share/applications/spotify.desktop
}
And in the spotify.desktop:
Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/spotify-client.png
But the result is unexpected, as the launcher-icon looks good,
while the taskbar-icon looks horrible. As you can see in this shot:

I would do a search of all spotify files on the computer, locate all of the icons form that search and then replace that one with a quality one

Good advice. I`ll do that. Hopefully there will not be to many of those to replace :)
There`s another tiny issue with my bottom lxpanel. It seems that the taskbar icons is slightly smaller, than the launcher icons. There is a few pixels more space below the task-icons. Is this something that`s known and intended, or only something that happens with me?
