Hi,
is there any way how to change app name shown in gnome taskbar (see
attachment) from wxPython code? I tried app.setAppName(), but it
didn't worked.
Thanks in advanced, Martin

Perhaps try the other wx.App name functions?
wx.App.SetAppDisplayName
wx.App.SetVendorDisplayName
wx.App.SetVendorName

wx.App.SetAppDisplayName
wx.App.SetVendorDisplayName
wx.App.SetVendorName
thanks for tip, I tried to call these functions in my App constructor,
but none of them has any effect. The application name in gnome taskbar
is still set to file name (wxgui.py).

By “Constructor” I hope you mean
def OnInit(self):
self.SetAppName('MyApp')
return True:
``
and not:
def __init__(self, ...):
``
I am not sure if it matters but that is where I would call those from.
Hi,
By "Constructor" I hope you mean
I meant __init__().
def OnInit(self):
self.SetAppName('MyApp')
return True:
I tried to add to OnInit():
self.SetAppName('MyApp')
self.SetAppDisplayName('1')
self.SetVendorDisplayName('2')
self.SetVendorName('3')
But none of them had any effect. I still see in taskbar 'Wxgui.py'. Martin

Are you possibly launching this from a pyshell or a possible other wxPython app where wx.App() may already be initialized?
You can try
if name == “main”:
app = wx.GetApp()
if not app:
app = wx.App()
else:
print(‘app pre-existed’)
as a short test. Although even this shouldn’t matter.
Hi,

no from C code [1].
app = wx.GetApp()
GetApp() returns None, there is no other wx.App initialized. Martin

In your first post the image shows Wxgui.py in the taskbar one implying no C code and two implying your doing something like “>python Wxgui.py”. Are you running the source code from an Icon or “shortcut” or from a command line? If from a gnome command line(?) what is the exact command line syntax? Is your main source code file named Wxgui.py? If so you can wrap your python script within a non-python script file marked with executable permissions. That hack might trick it.

hm, if I understand correctly you are suggesting to create wrapper
with the same name as I want for application? So eg. the 'GRASS GIS
(GUI)' if I want application with name 'GRASS GIS (GUI)'. Really,
isn't there any better way?

I will take a look, thanks. Ma

Any progress?
If you didn't understand my last suggestion... In MS-Windows you can have
the following files in the same subdirectory: wxgui.py wxgui.bat wxgui.exe
wxgui.com wxgui.cmd... So in MS-Windows you'd make a wxgui.bat and put in
it the command line you'd type. Double clicking a batch file from Windows
explorer creates a console window (usually) with it's title and taskbar
item. In your operating system is there a textual "script" file which is
executable/runnable and is not a *.py file and creates "console" or
separate terminal "window"?
