Missing application icon

[lukisi]

Bug description

The IOTA/Trinity icon is not shown for the app in the dash (of Gnome Shell)

Environment Specs

Laptop

• Manufacturer: Dell
• Model: XPS
• OS version: Ubuntu 18.04

Trinity

• Trinity version: 0.4.5

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open the dash, search for trinity

Expected behaviour

The app with the correct icon should be in the results.

Actual behaviour

The app appears with the default executable icon.

Am I planning to do it myself with a PR?

No.

Can you post a screenshot of what icon is shown instead of the Trinity icon?

[rajivshah3]

@lukisi is the default icon showing in the dock as well when Trinity is running? Or does the IOTA logo appear there?

[lukisi]

When Trinity is running the default icon is showing in the dock as well.

@rihardsgravis would this be fixed by adding the icon path to the icon field as shown in the electron-builder docs? It says it converts the macOS icon by default but I guess that's not occurring for some reason. I don't have an Ubuntu VM so I can't really test this

I was having this same issue where the Trinity Icon would not show up when searching through applications or in the dock (broken link). I was able to fix these by doing the following:

Fix Default Icon while searching apps (Download trinity.png from GitHub icons):
Edit: /home/[user]/.local/share/applications/appimagekit-trinity-desktop.desktop
Add: Icon=/opt/trinity/trinity.png

Fix Broken Link in Doc while running:
Edit: /home/[user]/.local/share/applications/appimagekit-trinity-desktop.desktop
Add: StartupWMClass=Trinity

Thanks for that info @KeithSSmith . Without those edits, does appimagekit-trinity-desktop.desktop look like this? If so, it seems like an icon isn’t being included when the app is packaged

[KeithSSmith]

Just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04.1 with updates and upgrades, the icons in search and in dock are still showing the default icon. The appimagekit-trinity-desktop.desktop file looks like this (doesn't match the link you posted):

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Trinity
Comment=Desktop wallet for IOTA
Exec="/home/iota/Desktop/trinity-desktop-0.4.6.AppImage" %U
Terminal=false

Thanks @KeithSSmith

Icon=appimagekit-trinity-desktop

Looks like this needs to be set during packaging. I think specifying it in the electron-builder config should fix it

@rajivshah3 Hello, I noticed the equal problem in gitkraken, the icon not viasualizzed in the docky, could it be an Electron problem?

[lukisi]

Trinity 0.5.0 still has same problem. I tried both an update (via the menu in app) and a fresh install on another computer.

[vincenzopalazzo]

@lukisi I have same problem but I resolved with this code

• Edit: /home/[user]/.local/share/applications/appimagekit-trinity-desktop.desktop

In the file edit a path for the image, I have downloaded the image for project github
