Enhancement request -- taskbar icon specification in bmpanel2rc for matching windows

[Corin-EU]

If bmpanel2 cannot get the icon from an application for display in the taskbar, it just uses the default icon specified by the theme file, often resulting in lots of instances of the default icon especially when bmpanel2 is used with pekwm because pekwm has never implemented the "mini icon" feature in the window titlebars.

Please consider adding a feature to allow the specification of an icon for a window class or name in the bmpanel2rc file accepting eg

 taskbar 

 app_name urxvt
 icon  /usr/local/share/icons/Desktop/32x32/urxvt.png

 app_name slogin
 icon /usr/local/share/icons/Desktop/32x32/slogin.png

 class_nam Ssvnc.tcl
 icon  /usr/local/share/icons/Desktop/32x32/vnc-terminal.png

 

In the above example, slogin is an xterm or rxvt or urxvt invoked with the "-n slogin" parameter and "-e slogin some_local_host" As fbpanel has this feature, it may be possible to "re-use" code from that project.

Sorry. Not worked on the project for years. Most likely won't be adding any new stuff to it anytime soon.
