Citirx Remote Desktop Icons when using XMLBroker...
Has anyone customised their citrix remote desktop icons on 11.2 when using direct access to an XML Broker rather than a citrix web interface?
CWI puts proper windows icons on everything. My users are complaining because of the generic application icons served up (Admittedly, they have a point. It's a lot harder trying to find an app on the F5 remote desktop rather than the citrix web interface one).
Looking through the icons available in the customisation, APM only has one generic application icon defined, which is the one used... And yes, it's browser independent as you'd expect.

- Eugene_SukhodolNimbostratusHi,
- El_JefeNimbostratusI have seen this. I am pretty sure, at least with 11.1, the APM only supported 32x32 32bpp icons. Check the icons and see. The client I was working with had to modify some of their icons on the XMLB Side.
- HamishCirrocumulusIt kind of looks like a bug... Looking deeper into the tcp stream between the BigIP APM and the XMLBroker, and I see 3 requests for icon data. One for Adobe Reader (Works), one for a remote desktop something (Works), and one for Calculator (I get a lot of icon data back, but no icon shown).
Hamish,
What version of XenApp are you using? Sounds like you have gathered a lot of troubleshooting data already - it would be great if you can open a case, and F5 support can then help you resolve this issue.
- HamishCirrocumulusCase opened today. First response is known problem, upgrade to HF2... Sadly for support, I'm already at HF2 :) So hopefully they'll read the tcpdump I gave them and come up with a solution. Funnily enough, the bpp=4 icons work.. The 32bpp icon of the Calculator app is what seems to brake it.
- HamishCirrocumulusWas the XenApp bug in 4.5... The work-around originally killed the test xenapp server, but the admins fixed that, and I have icons again. Much nicer... Would be nice if APM didn't freak for a single bad response and disable ALL subsequent icons though...
- Hamish,
- HamishCirrocumulusHi Michael.
- HamishCirrocumulusLooking deeper into the slowness of the icon updates... Firebug shows an 8 second login time (That could be the XMLBroker, it's pointing at a single test server until the admins can do the registry workaround on the production servers) followed by the icons being requested one by one... Trouble is, they're all requested using POST... Which isn't going to be cached... (And cache-control explicitly says no-cache!)
- HamishCirrocumulusSigh... Refreshing the page also pops up the login requester...
