This patch is a variant of the netwmicon patch that sets a window icon for your st terminal.

This variant allows you to use a farbfeld image rather than a .png image, which removes the dependency on an external library to parse the image.

By default the image will be read from this location:

• /usr/local/share/pixmaps/st.ff

This can be changed in the config.mk file.

If you are not familiar with how to read and convert farbfeld images here is an example command to convert a .png file to a farbfeld image:

png2ff < st.png > st.ff

Example usage:

sudo png2ff < st.png > /usr/local/share/pixmaps/st.ff
