Set fallback/default icon for element-icon?

[shivanshu-semwal]

I have some desktop file which don't have some suitable icon. I know i can fix the .desktop file to show icon. But still is there any way to set the icon if it is not present.

[DaveDavenport]

Yes, this was introduced in 1.7.0.
See release notes/manpage.

So fallback-application-icon: "/home/totoro/hi.png"; i tried something like this. It gave me error

** (process:160690): WARNING **: 18:40:56.316: /home/totoro/.config/rofi/rofi-launchers/default.rasi:8:27: Option: fallback-application-icon is not found.

configuration {
    font: "Iosevka Nerd Font:style=Bold 12";
    show-icons: true;
    display-drun: "";
    drun-display-format : "{name}";
    disable-history: false;
    sidebar-mode: false;
    icon-theme: "Papirus";
    fallback-application-icon: "/home/totoro/hi.png";
}

I put it inside configuration block. What am i doing wrong?

[DaveDavenport]

what version of rofi are you using?

[shivanshu-semwal]

Thanks for the fast response, i'm using 1.7.0 version from the release.
I did -dump-config thing and i found that it is using application-fallback-icon so I used that one and it works.

But in manual this is mentioned:

-fallback-application-icon

Specify an icon to be used when the application icon in run/drun are not yet loaded or is not available.

this one
