I have developed an application in Qt for symbian.
Now i need to set the application icon. not the one showed on the application windows on the top left side. I need to set the icon which will be displayed in the menu of the symbian device! somebody pls help me on this.
I searched in here and found the ways to set the application icon but not the way i needed. All of them showed how to set the icon which will be displayed on the top left in the application window, as i said earlier this is not what i want.
Just add this into Symbian specific section of your .pro file:
symbian {
ICON = ./resources/appIcon.svg
}

I'm learning JavaFX and can't understand the concept of main menu.
There are many tutorials on a youtube, showing how to create a menu in JavaFX application. But when I expand my JavaFX application, it's menu does not integrated in main menu of MacOS. I.e. I see JavaFX's menu, and when I move my mouse to the top of the screen, MacOS menu appears separately.
Is it possible to integrate JavaFX menu into MacOS? Like in all other applications - when you see apple icon in the left side, and all other buttons belong to currently open program.
Kind regards,

I recently received a real headache problem for UWP apps.
Basically I would like to change the main Icon of my app depending on an action.
Let's say I would like to change the App Icon if a certain user logs into my app so that he does not see default App Icon after closing the app.
I found different links which refer to work on tiles, which works perfectly fine. But I did not come up with a solution to change the App's Icon.
Is there a way like in iOS to use AlternateIcons or in Android to just call an Alias?
Tiles are technically the icons in the UWP world. You can update the live tiles as you desire with notifications and they can provide richer visual surface than classic icons.
For the App List and Taskbar icons however, those are just static and you cannot change them at runtime. They come from the Package.appxmanifest Visual Assets section, so you have to define them ahead of time.
You however use Badge notifications to display simple info next to the app icon in the Task bar as well as on the main app tile.
I've set various Visual Assets in my Package.appxmanifest i.e.
Square 71x71 Logo
Square 150x150 Logo
Square 310x310 Logo
Square 44x44 Logo
Store Logo
I don't have any images defined for Wide 310x150 Logo and for the Badge Logo.
When installed on the phone, it displays the logo as expected when the app is listed in the application list and when pinned to the start screen.
When installed on my laptop, it displays the logo as expected when the app is pinned to the Start menu.
And yet when I run this on my laptop the app in desktop mode, it displays the default square with a cross in my taskbar (or when using alt-tab).
Do I have to set up an icon somewhere else or do I need to setup another visual asset that's not listed?
Thanks.
UPDATE:
See Bart's answer below for solution but here are a few useful links I found:
Guidelines for tile and icon assets
Tile and toast visual assets (Windows Runtime apps)
How to generate and manage app visual assets for Windows AND Windows Phone with ease using Photoshop actions
If you used the default Windows 10 UWP template, these assets are added.
The Square44x44Logo.targetsize-24_altform-unplated.png icon is shown in the taskbar and when switching between apps. If you remove this file, Windows normally falls back to the Square44x44Logo.png file (at least on my machine).
As I am putting more widgets on top of more layouts in my application, the space where I design the GUI is getting also bigger for the Qt-creator interface.
I have many buttons and frames which are out of reach. I cannot see them (or click them, of course). I don't know how they look until I run the whole application for debugging.
Is there is a way to zoom out/in the main frame (the whole playground) so that I can see my full GUI design on the UI of Qt IDE?
P.S.: I am working on macBook 13"
Zooming is not possible. You can use Tools -> Form Editor -> Preview.
If the viewport gets too small the QtCreator shows scrollbars which allow to move the part of interest into view.
Note, on some system configurations the scollbars may be very small and hard to handle.
You can use this steps
Tool-->options-> Text editor ->zoom

Is it possible to change an icon that you can see on every dialog bar in InstallShield?
I know how to change setup.exe icon in InstallShield, I also know how to change icon to display with my application in Add or Remove Programs. But what about a default "computer" icon that you can see together with Dialog title in a top-left corner of each dialog?
I'm using InstallShield 2013 Professional, Basic MSI project type.
You cannot change the icon shown in the title bar for a Basic MSI project. However if you use an Advanced UI project to install the MSI, the UI that InstallShield provides does support selecting a custom icon. It's not necessarily trivial to change to the Advanced UI project type, and requires a .exe bootstrap, so the option may or may not be right for your case.
