change thunderbird's icon while running

  • 772

I'm searching a way to temporarily change the icon of an application (thunderbird in my case) while it's running. I tried a dozen of addons, but none if them did the job. Is there a way to code this?

PS: Pidgin's IM window does it all the time, maybe we could steal their way?

  1. The icon you're looking for is located in a package file, named omni.ja located in /usr/lib/thunderbird or /usr/lib/thunderbird{version}. After opening it go to /chrome/classic/skin/classic/messenger/icons . You have to change "new-mail-alert.png" with a .png image with the same size (32*32).

    If you just want to disable popup notification in Thunderbird go to preference and in the general tab uncheck the "Show an alert" under When new messages arrive.
