  The issue

From the GUI it doesn't look like there's anything wrong or I'm not aware of any elements that aren't showing up. But when I look at journalctl -b, certain errors that may be related to not finding the icon show up. Thanks.

this is because the icon pack you use doesn't support the app, or the icon class guessing fails. It's kind of impossible to have this work 100% correctly.. But you can add something like this to the userConfigOptions object in ~/.config/ags/user_options.js:

    'icons': {
        substitutions: {
            'code': "visual-studio-code",
            'preferences-desktop-theme': "org.gnome.tweaks",
        }
    },

this way code will have vscode icon and whatever desktop theme preference app you're using will have the icon for gnome tweaks, assuming these substitutions have the correct names (idk about your icon theme)

@end-4 I see, I get it, thanks for the answer!
