taskbar: dektop file icon of chromium PWA not respected

[Etch9]

I edited a chromium pwa's desktop file to change its icon but it remains the same in the taskbar, here's the desktop file:

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.1
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Name=Cinny
Exec=flatpak 'run' '--command=/app/bin/chromium' 'io.github.ungoogled_software.ungoogled_chromium' '--profile-directory=Default' '--app-id=bcngdmpegpihnheapppgoniglphkpfhm'
Icon=/path/to/cinny.png
StartupWMClass=crx_bcngdmpegpihnheapppgoniglphkpfhm
X-Flatpak-Part-Of=io.github.ungoogled_software.ungoogled_chromium
TryExec=/var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/io.github.ungoogled_software.ungoogled_chromium

here is a screenshot for reference:

wlr/taskbar receives a list of app_ids (or changing app_ids) through zwlr_foreign_toplevel_manager_v1.. Based on this app_id, wlr/taskbar looks for a matching .desktop file.

If I had to guess, the app_id is still chromium. Starting waybar with log level debug may offer some insight what wlr/taskbar sees. Is that environment hyprland? hyprctl clients may list the app_id as well, provided chromium is running in wayland mode.

the taskbar widget shows the app-id to be chrome-bcngdmpegpihnheapppgoniglphkpfhm-Default whilst the desktop file is found in ~/username/.local/share/applications/io.github.ungoogled_software.ungoogled_chromium.flextop.chrome-bcngdmpegpihnheapppgoniglphkpfhm-Default.desktop using exo-open i verified that it does open cinny. The compositor is niri, how do i start waybar with log level?

[RobertMueller2]

If you have the config in a default location, you could just run waybar -l debug from command line. It starts a second.

What you could also try try is to link io.github.ungoogled_software.ungoogled_chromium.flextop.chrome-bcngdmpegpihnheapppgoniglphkpfhm-Default.desktop to chrome-bcngdmpegpihnheapppgoniglphkpfhm-Default.desktop.

Running waybar in debug mode gives this:

Yes changing the name worked! if i change the app_id using rewrite could i point wlr/taskbar to the right .desktop file? because now my runner sees 2 cinny

This is the debug output with the symlink:

I think you could try an app id mapping within wlr/taskbar config. Like this maybe?

                "app_ids-mapping": {
                     "chrome-bcngdmpegpihnheapppgoniglphkpfhm-Default": "io.github.ungoogled_software.ungoogled_chromium.flextop.chrome-bcngdmpegpihnheapppgoniglphkpfhm-Default"
                },

I can confirm that mapping the id works!
