[vlc-devel] [PATCH] Qt: get window icon from theme (falling back to existing pixmap)

[Philip Sequeira]

The window icon for the Qt4 interface is currently set from a (presumably old) 
32x32 xpm at compile time, and it looks pretty bad. It has aliasing problems 
(which is pretty much unavoidable as long as it's an xpm), and if the WM, DE, 
or whatever else wants a bigger icon for the window (for an icon-based 
Alt+Tab, maybe, or an OSX-style "Dock", or even just e.g. the mouseover on 
KDE's default taskbar), it has to upscale or stick the small icon in the 
middle, both of which look ugly.

This patch will try to get the appropriate icon from the icon theme, and fall 
back to the current pixmap if that fails. This way, it'll use the better icon 
that already ships with VLC, at all sizes available, and if the user's theme 
includes a replacement VLC icon, that'll be used instead (which was the object 
of ticket #6857, AFAICT).
