Public bug reported: When I open the calendar app in Gnome, Ubuntu, the icon in my dock is a generic green rectangle with the number "28". I don't like this icon. It's too generic. Looking at this in my dock, this could be an email app with 28 unread messages, or a to-do app with 28 tasks. Note that today is the 24th of September, not the 28th. I don't know what special meaning "28" has. It said 28 yesterday too and the day before that.
There is a different icon shown in the Ubuntu software center and the Gnome Calendar website [2]. This icon is great. It's unambiguously a calendar. The point of this issue is to request that the "28" icon be replaced with the purple+white calendar icon for the Gnome dock. I originally reported this in the gnome-calendar GitLab repo. [1] The developers say that this issue is caused by Ubuntu overwriting app's icons with their own theme. So I believe this is an Ubuntu issue, not really a gnome-calendar issue.
