in reply to PerlTk GNOME3 alternate icon file shown as blank square

Hi kaza_perl_ip, another option for Photo is to use base64 encoded data using the -data argument instead of the -file argument.

A solution I used was to store the base64 encoded value in a variable and pass it to the -data argument to Photo.

Untested sample foo code...
my $encodedImg = q{very long multi line multi line multi line multi line multi line multi line multi line multi line multi line multi line multi line encoded data}; my $can_encImg = $canvas->Photo( -data => $encodedImg );

Hope it helps!
