Public bug reported:
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
Release: 20.04
pcmanfm-qt 0.14.1-0ubuntu3
Chrome web apps are supposed to show their custom icon in file manager
and menu, like the google drive logo or the google sheet icon, and
that's exactly what happens on another system with kubuntu 20.04
Instead, only the main chrome icon is shown.
some interesting notes:
Fields is correctly set on the .desktop file.
here’s an example
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Name=Google Drive
Exec=/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --profile-directory=Default
--app-id=aghbiahbpaijignceidepookljebhfak
Icon=chrome-aghbiahbpaijignceidepookljebhfak-Default
StartupWMClass=crx_aghbiahbpaijignceidepookljebhfak
to make the icon show I had to correct the line with
Icon=/home/USER/.local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/chrome-
aghbiahbpaijignceidepookljebhfak-Default
Icons should be registered with a vendor name prefix, like "numix-
monitor", but I noticed that if I install an icon with the chrome
prefix, it won’t show: only the default chrome icon will appear
The directory where systems mostly look for user icons is ~/.local/share/icons
, especially the "hicolor" theme which acts as sort of default directory.
This seems to work perfectly on my system: if I install a custom icon with the
command
xdg-icon-resource install --size 256 prefix-icon.png
everything works smoothly: even if I may need to reboot, the icon file
appears on the directory above, just like the correctly named icons for
chrome web apps are already in the directories they should be, and using
“prefix-icon” in the icon field of a .desktop file will show that
specific icon on desktop, in file manager and in the apps menu.
Installing the icon with the --novendor won’t help, the length or the
suffix or the icon name won’t change the result
