Openbox Window Title and Tint2 Icons are not working [Solved]

I am not able to get Openbox Window or Tint2 to show up Zathura/Termite icons. For Zathura, I modified the /usr/share/applications/zathura.desktop file and created an icon called zathura and copy pasted it into below folders but it has no effect on the WM or Tint2. I could see it in pcmanfm's whisker menu though.

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/apps/16x16
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/apps/22x22
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/apps/24x24
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/apps/32x32
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/apps/48x48
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/apps/64x64

Termite already has

termite.desktop Icon=utilities-termimal

How do I troubleshoot this issue? Where does WM and Tint2 lookup up for icons? I really spent a lot of time searching on the net but found nothing helpful. Can someone please help me out.

FYKI, this is how it comes at the moment: .

you can try

cp -av /usr/share/applications/zathura.desktop ~/.local/share/applications

echo 'Icon=application-pdf.svg' >>~/.local/share/applications/zathura.desktop

Thanks I tried that one from the Zathura bug tracker but it didn't help. So I thought of finding the underlying stuff at WM level.

Does it help if you convert the .svg into, say, .png?

Changing that to png didn't help as well. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=149551 addresses this issue. It seems like the application needs to set this during loading and it is not related to GTK.

For zathura you can change ~/.config/zathura/zathurarc

set window-icon /full/path/to/image

For Termite you can change ~/.config/termite/config

[options]
...
icon_name = terminal
...
