.desktop files are created for Thorium itself and content-shell (named thorium-shell).
There are also additional desktop actions: when right clicking the Thorium launcher it gives three additional desktop actions, one to open thorium-shell, another to open in Safe Mode which disables any flags one has set in chrome://flags until the next launch, and lastly to open in Dark Mode which appends the --force-dark-mode flag.
