Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) OS: Linux I really like using kdialog, as it looks so professional compared to stupid text-only scripts. I can set the title of a notification but not its icon. It always has that info-symbol, especially gets annoying when I use --passivepopup. (Also, is there a way of changing its category? kdialog notifications always pop up as “knotify” notifications in notification history. It‘d be nice to change it to something like “useful utility abc” then I know what application caused that notification) Reproducible: Always
Addition: The KDE option --icon does set an icon but only for the dialogs, notifications are untouched by that parameter.
No change with the new notification system in 4.6 unfortunately. Now you have that big fat info-icon that spits in your face ;)
Created attachment 59569 [details] Patch to enable --icon to affect passivepopup as well I just discovered notify-send works fine for notifications with icons but I definitly want that in kdialog as well. So I looked at the code and found what was responsible and added something. I couldn’t compile it (have no real development environment or dependencies set up) and I don’t know if this is the correct approach but I would appreciate it if you have a look at it. (I wanted to push it to reviewboard but the identity.kde.org activation mail somehow got lost or is not yet arrived or whatever, so I post it here, first)
I had a quick look at the patch (didn't try it), and it looks ok. I'd encourage you to build / test it. There are instructions on community.kde.org and techbase.kde.org for how to set up a development environment.
I just changed something since that --icon parameter doesn’t turned out correctly and so I added --passiveicon for the icon of passivepopup. I compiled it and it works as expected :) Yay! :D It’s in the reviewboard: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/101282/
