[gretl icon] Keyboard shortcuts So is this what's going on: whenever we specify a "native gretl" icon for a menu item, you're getting the gretl (the girl) icon, regardless of which one was specified? What do you get as the icon for "Send to..." under the main-window File menu? That's a gretl-supplied icon, it should appear as a little envelope. (I notice from your screenshot, however, that the PDF icon is showing up OK on the toolbar at the bottom of the main window.) > In the output of 'make' the unique reference I see about the pixmap directory > is about gretl-logo.xpm.

It doesn't have to be copied anywhere. Pixmaps such as mini.pdf.xpm are "built in" -- they're included in gui2/toolbar.c and become part of the program. So far, I'm completely mystified. I did recently try building CVS gretl on Ubuntu (an older version, 10.10) and the icons come out as intended. Just in case it matters, are you building against gtk 2 or gtk 3? (The default is gtk 2 but there's an --enable-gtk3 option to configure.) And what does the relevant one of the following commands show? pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0 pkg-config --modversion gtk+-3.0 Allin _______________________________________________ Gretl-devel mailing list Gretl-devel(a)lists.wfu.edu http://lists.wfu.edu/mailman/listinfo/gretl-devel
