Maemo icon

RT @http://thpinfo.com/2008/02/maemo-icon-sizes.html I had a hard time finding out which icon sizes one has to provide and where to install them for Maemo applications (I’m currently developing for OS2008 “chinook”, might be different for other releases). Here is what I found out by looking at the contents of other GUI packages: 26x26 icon goes to /usr/share/icons/26x26/hildon/appname.png 40x40 icon goes to /usr/share/icons/40x40/hilson/appname.png 64x64 icon goes to /usr/share/icons/scalable/hildon/appname.png The 64x64 icon will be used in the menu, so be sure to make it really 64x64, otherwise the icon will look out of place in the menu. Also, be sure to create an executable “postinst” file in the “debian/” subdirectory of your package source that has at least the following two commands: gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor maemo-select-menu-location appname.desktop Where of course “appname” is the name of your application and how you named your icon...
