Re^3: PerlTk GNOME3 alternate icon file shown as blank square

Some more info: In addition to attempting the "inline" XPM code, I also tried creating XPM file. After few format errors I got it to load but the result was the same blank (gray) square. I also attempted PBM file (tried P1 and P4). The P1 file loaded without errors but resulted in the same blank (gray) square. Attempt to create and load P4 file resulted in format error. I also created a JPG file from the PNG file, it too loaded without errors but resulted in the same blank square. I think that in all cases where I didn't have format errors, the PerlTk could read the image correctly and produce it's own internal image data correctly but somewhere "at higher authority", somewhere "under the hood" of EL8+GNOME3 the application image had been overriden by the OS and the GNOME3. Can it be the case? TIA!

Some more info and I think this thread can be closed: I noticed that when opening other apps, sometimes there is the same blank gray sqare (like "DVE" to view waves of Verilog simulations, on old server running GNOME2 there was icon of it) and sometimes there is an icon ("nedit", "soffice"). It seems to me the problem is ouside the scope of PerlTk program and is somewhere in the EL8+GNOME3 graphical system... Thanks for all the answers.	[reply]
