Custom icon not loaded in Launcher only #93

Open Carlisle96 opened 2 years ago

Carlisle96 commented 2 years ago

I have the following setup:

PopOS 21.10 My own single icon created in ~/.icons image

The icon gets loaded correctly in the ~/.icons folder because it is shown correctly in the applications overview: image

But in the launcher the placeholder icon is shown: image

What am I doing wrong ? Was my icon installed correctly ? How can I make the icon load correctly on the launcher too ?

Was my icon installed correctly ?

The icon should be specified in the .desktop file for that Datev application. Can you post the contents of the .desktop file?

I don't think the .desktop file is configured wrongly, because it works in the application menu. Here are the contents: image

How did you install this?

How did you install this?

I am running Pop OS 21.10, hence it was installed by default.

mmstick commented 2 years ago

@Carlisle96 This isn't part of a default Pop install.

Carlisle96 commented 2 years ago

I am talking about this Launcher image I thought this got added to Pop OS in 21,10 and I did not install any extensions for it.

mmstick commented 2 years ago

I'm talking about this application you're having issues with

Carlisle96 commented 2 years ago

It happens with every application I select a selft created icon for in the *.desktop file. Independent of the application. The one i showed is just an example.

Yeah, it appears the launcher doesn't always play nice with certain icon theme. I'm using papirus image

It appears to be an issue with how the desktop entry is set up

Icon in .desktop file shouldn't have file extension .svg 

Icon=datev2

unless you specify it as an absolute path:

Icon=/home/thyriaen/.icons/datev2.svg
