Description

This attribute specifies the icon that users see on their webtops.

Users accessing Secure Global Desktop using a web browser may have webtops of different shapes and sizes. The look of their webtop is defined by their Webtop Theme attribute. The webtop theme also determines the icon size and style (the icon theme). For instance, a webtop designed for smaller screens might use an icon theme with smaller icons.

Note The browser-based webtop does not use webtop or icon themes.

Generally, the Webtop Icon attribute names an icon within an icon theme (allowing it to vary depending on the user's webtop theme), rather than naming a particular icon to be used whatever the user's webtop theme.

In Object Manager, the Webtop Icon list shows icons from the sco/tta/standard icon theme. However, the user's icon theme (found from the webtop theme) will be used on the webtop.

On the command line, to name an icon within an icon theme just give the basename including extension (for example, spreadsheet.gif). To name an icon to be used whatever a user's icon theme, give an absolute or relative URL. Relative URLs are considered relative to the Secure Global Desktop java subdirectory (usually /tarantella/java).

Examples

--icon spreadsheet.gif

Uses the spreadsheet.gif icon in the user's current icon theme.

--url http://www.indigo-insurance.com/icons/xclaim.gif

Uses the specified icon, whatever the user's current icon theme.
