Can the default icon be used for specific apps? #664

Is there a way by which I can use the default icon for certain apps? Currently, I want to use the default icon for VS Code as the Paper icon for it hasn't been updated (see #623).

I found a way doing it. By setting Icon in the desktop entry for that app to the path of the icon image will use the specified icon and not the icon from the active icon theme.

For VS Code, edit it's desktop entry (located at /usr/share/applications/code.desktop) and set:

Icon=/usr/share/code/resources/app/resources/linux/code.png

In this case /usr/share/code is where VS Code is installed. This may vary depending on your installation method.
