Icon troubles + countdown in new plasmoid

Hi, all:
I'm new at KDE development.
I'm trying to create a plasmoid which has a custom image (I've saved it to
/myCustomPlasmoid/icon.png), and a countdown ticker for the text.
I've gone through the tutorial and gotten the example plasmoid to compile and
operate properly.
How do I specify that I want to use my own icon (as opposed to the one in
KIcon which provides a default document icon) for the image? I tried using
the relative directory like this in the .cpp:
: Plasma::Applet(parent, args),
m_svg(this),
m_icon("../icon.png")
But it's not working. I still get the default document icon instead of my
custom image.
Second, how would I go about replacing the regular text with a countdown (with
a prespecified value set in the future)?
If there are any tutorials or walkthroughs other than the beginning one I've
already done, I'd be glad to know about them.
Thanks!
Tarah
