3 years ago I just installed the icon theme Numix Circle as in the waybar taskbar manpage shown and added "icon-theme": "Numix-Circle" to my waybar config.
Now for signal-desktop an icon is shown in the taskbar, but still not for gnome-terminal.

3 years ago The problem is probably, that the app doesn't provide the correct app-id which is used to find the icon. Unfortunately, this is nothing that I can solve within the plugin. I only get the information that the compositor provides to me via the foreign-toplevel-manager protocol.

3 years ago I tested four programs (Zoom, Thunderbird, Firefox, GNOME Terminal) and it looks like this ("format": "{icon} {app_id}"):
And here are the app IDs as found in swaymsg -t get_tree and the location of the .desktop files:
| Program | App ID | .desktop File |
|---|---|---|
| Zoom | "zoom" |
/usr/share/applications/Zoom.desktop |
| Thunderbird | null |
/usr/share/applications/mozilla-thunderbird.desktop |
| Firefox | null |
/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop |
| GNOME Terminal | "gnome-terminal-server" |
/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Terminal.desktop |
| ROXterm | "roxterm" |
/usr/share/applications/roxterm.desktop |
So it works if app id is null, but not if it is set to some (wrong?) value.
Edit: I added ROXterm as an example where it seems to find the icon based on the app ID.

3 years ago Firefox sets app_id when using the Wayland backend (ie when MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND is set), but I see an icon in wlr/taskbar. Curiously, for Firefox Nightly, which also sets app_id to "firefox" as mainline Firefox does, I see the mainline Firefox icon only if I have mainline Firefox installed. If I uninstall mainline Firefox, Firefox Nightly has no icon.
Here's my table:
| Program | app_id |
icon name set in .desktop file | Icon in hicolor folder? | Icon in pixmaps folder? | Icon in wlr/taskbar? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Firefox (Wayland mode) | firefox |
firefox |
yes | no | yes |
| Firefox (X11 mode) | null | firefox |
yes | no | yes |
| Firefox Nightly | firefox |
firefox-nightly |
yes | no | shows mainline Firefox icon instead, if mainline Firefox is installed |
| Thunderbird | thunderbird |
thunderbird |
yes | no | yes |
| Telegram | telegramdesktop |
telegram |
yes | no | yes |
| Signal | null | signal-desktop |
yes | no | no |
| Zoom | zoom |
Zoom |
no | yes | no |
| Discord | null | discord |
no | yes | yes |
| Alacritty | Alacritty |
Alacritty |
no | yes | yes |
waybar -l trace doesn't show any detail beyond "Couldn't find icon for \<app>".

3 years ago There were some recent changes regarding the icon finding code. Can you try with the latest master branch?

3 years ago With the latest master branch the icons for Dino, Signal and Zoom are now found but the icon for gnome-terminal still isn't.

8 months ago I was able to get the gnome-terminal icon by adding this app_ids-mapping:
"gnome-terminal-server": "org.gnome.Terminal"
Hi,
when running
wayland --log-level traceit can be observed, that for Signal (signal-desktop) and the Gnome Terminal (gnome-terminalwhich spawnsgnome-terminal-server) no icons can be found.For both applications, icons are defined in their respective
.desktopfile and they are also available on my system under/usr/share/icons.I also tried changing the used icon theme in the
wlr/taskbarsettings in the waybar config without success. Using the latestwaybar-git(Archlinux AUR).Please let me know if I can provide more information to pinpoint the issue.
Thank you very much.
