i'm not sure with solaris but in hp i have done this by editing the $HOME/.dt/types/datatypes.dt file which contains information about the file types, attributes and the icon of course.
and I hope the best way to store an icon is in the .pm type.
best regards.

In a recent topic, I asked how I could run a shell code without having to deal with terminal opening.
What I'm trying to accomplish now is to make my app change it's icon when the code is complete.
(With complete I mean when the process is done.)
Thanks in advance. :) (10 Replies)

xgeticonname
XGetIconName() XGetIconName()
Name
XGetIconName - get the name to be displayed in an icon.
Synopsis
Status XGetIconName(display, w, icon_name_return)
Display *display;
Window w;
char **icon_name_return;
Arguments
display Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay().
w Specifies the ID of the window whose icon name you want to learn.
icon_name_return
Returns a pointer to the name to be displayed in the window's icon. The name is a NULL-terminated string. If the data returned
by the server is in the Latin Portable Character Encoding, then the returned string is in the Host Portable Character Encoding.
Otherwise, the result is implementation-dependent. If a name hasn't been assigned to the window, XGetIconName() sets this argu-
ment to NULL. When finished with it, a client must free the icon name string using XFree().
Returns
Zero on failure, non-zero on success.
Description
XGetIconName() is superseded by XGetWMIconName() in Release 4. XGetIconName() reads the icon name property of a window. This function is
primarily used by window managers to get the name to be written in a window's icon when they need to display that icon. XGetIconName()
returns a non-zero Status if it succeeds, and zero if no icon name has been set for the argument window.
For more information, see Volume One, Chapter 12, Interclient Communication.
