[CustomDiscordIcon] Doesn't work on macOS/Linux.

[Kyza]

CustomDiscordIcon doesn't work on macOS.

Also!

I have noted that CustomDiscordIcon also only works when the icons in your Windows taskbar are expanded. I will be looking into this to see if I can fix it.

Example of an expanded icon:

One more thing!

Doesn't seem to be working on Linux either.

Can you confirm that the PNG is actually a PNG and not a different format hiding in a PNG file?

[ObserverOfTime]

Yes, it's a PNG.

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/steam.png: PNG image data, 48 x 48, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced

I noticed that the path in the error log is missing a slash even though it's there in the input field. 🤔

[Kyza]

While I try to figure out exactly why that slash is not there, could you try adding an extra slash where the single one is?

[ObserverOfTime]

No error. Still not working.

[Kyza]

This is strange, I can even use this path on my Windows system.

/Users/Name/Desktop/discord.png

[Kyza]

Try this version and tell me what path it prints in the console.

[ObserverOfTime]

You could have posted a patch instead of the entire file.

[Kyza]

I changed it, just replace the getSettingsPanel function.

[ObserverOfTime]

Nothing in the logs. This is in the config file.

{
  "useGuildIcons": false,
  "customImagePath": "/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/steam.png"
}

---

Switching useGuildIcon to true, I get the same error but the path is /home/$USER/.config/BetterDiscord/plugins/icon.png. Normally, you should be saving this file in a temporary directory:

path.join(os.tmpdir(), 'CustomDiscordIcon.png')

[ObserverOfTime]

Anyway, my guess is you simply can't modify the icon on Linux because it either uses a file from Discord's directory, or a file provided by the system's icon theme. Both of which are normally owned by root.

[Kyza]

That's possible, but it doesn't explain why the slash was missing from the path earlier.

I'll need more Linux users to confirm.

[ObserverOfTime]

Yeah, I don't know about that one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Shinare-I]

I don't know what else to say, but as a linux user, I can confirm it does not work.
I am running Ubuntu 18.04 on Unity desktop environment

Hello, I do not understand how to change the photo of Discord, can you help me? (I am on Windows so no problem)
