My icon "Upload.ico" appears in the title bar of my VB form.
But it does not appear on the Windows desktop or Windows task bar.
You must set the icon in your Application settings. Right click on your project in the Solution Explorer, Properties, then in Application, set the icon:

I would like to remove the Desktop tab from KDE Plasma desktop environment and get rid of the context menu. Is there a way to do this ?
Hi Chris, Thanks for the reply. I am running KDE 4.14.8. I am not seeing what you are describing. The context menu is the menu when you right click on the desktop. I think you are calling it "desktop menu". My original snapshot show that menu. That menu changed depending what desktop theme I selected. I could not find anything call Configure Desktop. The closest thing to that would be Default Desktop Setting and there is not there about the Tweaks tab. The project that I am working on is kind of mission critical. It would be just a plain desktop without anything. The only thing the user can do is log on, does his job and log off. All the things that can distract the user will be removed. I got most of them except for this pesky toolbox.
To remove the toolbox:
right-click on desktop to get the desktop menu
select Configure Desktop, a dialog appears
switch to Tweaks tab
uncheck Show the desktop toolbox
You can also drag it to a corner (when widgets are unlocked), then it will not show the current activity name, but will still be accessible.
Executing the exe file,
it will open the program and create a icon on the right-bottom windows status bar.
After processing some functions,
it will call Environment.Exit(Environment.ExitCode) and Application.Exit()
and close the application.
But the icon on the windows status bar still exist,
how to make the icon disappear?
when you kill your application you can set your icon to nothing. So that your application Icon will remove from system tray.
YourForm.Icon = Nothing
I am trying to set the icon of my application. I set the icon once before by changing the property of the form and the property of the project. Now I am trying to change the icon to a different one. The icons of the form and the application have been successfully changed, but when I copy the application to the desktop, the desktop icon still remains the previous one. Can anyone please tell me how to change the desktop icon?
Thanks,
Kai
If you change the icon properly on the form it should get visible in the Taskbar immediately as soon as you start your application.
However even if you did change the project icon properly and therefore your executable has the correct (new) icon (check that in your \bin-folder) you can get the wrong (old) icon from the desktop because you system might retrieve it from the icon cache.
Please check the following link to understand that topic and to see how you can enforce windows to renew its icon cache.

I have been trying KDE and customized it enough to my liking. I added panels and application launchers on each screen and windows opened shows on each screen panel.
But whenever I start an application either from the "start menu" or from the quick launch, it position on any screen.
Is there a way to have application started on the screen it was opened?
After spending too much time in settings, google, and Window Rules, I finally found my answer.
In System Settings -> Window Behavior -> Window Behavior -> Focus Tab
enable the box "Active screen follows mouse"
I have a program in vb.net which is ready to be published.
Its a small detail, but I'd like to change the icon on both the published app shortcut on my desktop, but more importantly on my taskbar (like where the chrome circle shows up).
Is there any way to accomplish this?
To change the main icon for your application, go to the "Application" tab under the project property page, and change the "Icon:" combo box.
