Description Mario Grgic CLA 2004-06-02 10:23:26 EDT 
If you customize the perspective view arrangements and save the perspective 
under a different name, the default icon for the saved custom perspective 
becomes the icon that looks very similar to the "Open Perspective" icon 
without the little yellow "+" in the top left corner. 

The problem is that any other perspective that you customize and save has the 
exact same icon as well. If one doesn't show text labels on perspectives, it 
becomes hard to know what perspective you want to switch to.

It should get the icon for the original perspective.  This works for me on RC1.
Is this not the case for you?  If so, which build?

I'm using eclipse.buildId=I200405290105
Comment 3 Nick Edgar CLA 2004-06-02 12:09:14 EDT 
Please provide steps to show the problem.
Comment 4 Mario Grgic CLA 2004-06-02 12:46:15 EDT 
In M8 I had "Java - Custom" perspective. When I upgraded the same M8 workspace 
I customized the Java Perspective and saved it with the same name "Java - 
Custom". Its icon then got messed up. Same with "Debug - Custom".
Comment 5 Nick Edgar CLA 2004-06-02 13:42:51 EDT 
Strange.  It should get the icon from the original perspective on startup.

Can you please attach the following file from your workspace:
.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.ui.workbench.prefs
Comment 6 Mario Grgic CLA 2004-06-02 14:20:28 EDT 
I have fixed the problem by deleting the "Java - Custom" perspective and 
starting from the stock Java Perspective. Customized it again and saved with 
some other name. It has a proper icon now.

I don't know if the file it still useful to you?
Comment 7 Nick Edgar CLA 2004-06-02 14:34:57 EDT 
I'm puzzled by how it got into this state.  I'd still be interested in having a
look at the file, although I guess it has been overwritten with your latest change.

Comment 9 Nick Edgar CLA 2004-06-02 15:36:40 EDT 
When using RC1 to load a workspace with this file, it picks up the icon correctly.
Was this the copy of the file from before you recreated the perspectives?
Comment 10 Mario Grgic CLA 2004-06-02 15:41:23 EDT 
Unfortunately, this is after I fixed it myself. I don't have the previous copy.

I guess we can lower the priority on this, sicne there is a workaround and 
it's obviously not repeatable.
Comment 11 Nick Edgar CLA 2004-06-02 16:05:09 EDT 
OK.  Let me know if you see it again.
Comment 12 Nick Edgar CLA 2005-10-11 09:44:32 EDT 
Closing as worksforme as it could not be reproduced.
