JToolbar Questions in Comp. Development

[phreak_02]

Hi everyone,

1.)
Id like to change the "generic.png" icon in an component i'm working on. Where is the directory where its placed ?
If i look into ~/administrator/images/generic.png its a different one (looks like "create article" than the packet).

2.)
I modified the mycomponent.xml in my ~/administrator/components/mycomponent (<menu>My Component</menu>) but the changes do not appear in the Backend Component Menu. I started with the Hello World! (4) to develop, but the menu still shows "Hello World!".

Thanx for help

Found out that the names of components appearing are stored in the database, changed it there.

But my first questions is still not solved.

Thanx for help

joomla_root/administrator/templates/khepri/images/header/generic.png

The key is to look at the icon.css file in the khepri template.

also in table 'components' there is a column where you can specify the image-icon used in the Joomla toolbar for your component. You can use the install() function in the installer-file to update this column.
