Description Michael Van Meekeren CLA 2005-04-07 09:37:27 EDT
when I configure browsers the preference page needs to use the platform icon for
the applications (like IE and Firefox) so I can tell them apart quickly.
Comment 1 Tim deBoer CLA 2005-05-01 14:41:52 EDT
There does not appear to be any way to pick up the icons directly from the
system. (e.g. the SWT Program support only picks up a single program per file
extension) I'll put in a request for new icons.
Comment 2 Tim deBoer CLA 2005-05-25 11:12:50 EDT
Code ready, waiting for icons. Design team is a little behind and hopes to have
these complete soon - trying to find out whether/how long we can still accept
the icons.
Comment 3 Dejan Glozic CLA 2005-05-26 10:55:25 EDT
Michael, there is currently no SWT support to fetch the OS icon for a random 
program, just for the default registered for a file name. I don't think we 
should try to make 'lookalikes' ourselves until the SWT feature request is 
resolved.
Comment 4 Tim deBoer CLA 2005-06-09 10:12:30 EDT
This request has been deferred until SWT supports icons for arbitrary programs
via 93372. In the meantime, the icons for external browsers have been removed
from the list.
Comment 5 John Arthorne CLA 2006-05-31 16:33:32 EDT
Tim, this bug targets Eclipse 3.2, and the final build is in less than two days.  I suspect the milestone should be cleared.
Comment 6 Tim deBoer CLA 2006-05-31 16:53:22 EDT
Not sure who set the target, but I'll remove it since the SWT bug this bug depends on is not complete.
Comment 7 Boris Bokowski CLA 2009-02-10 10:53:56 EST
Mass update - these bugs belong to the UA component.
Comment 8 Chris Goldthorpe CLA 2009-04-15 10:37:30 EDT
Reassigning to platform-ua-inbox@eclipse.org

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
