[SOLVED] How show icon appimage in the panel when its opened

Post by Pepper-Mint-Patty »

When you open a program its icon shows in the panel. For LibreWolf-89.0-1.x86_64.AppImage though it shows none: just a empty black square. no icon. I've noticed this with some other appimages as well.
The launcher i've made does have the LW icon.
How get the LW icon shown in the panel when LW is opened?

Change the icon of the AppImage file itself. Right-click, Properties, click on the icon on the top left.

i'm afraid i've forgotten to mention that the appimage already has its appropiate LW icon. That is shown on the desktop. When opened LW it isn't shown in the panel other then the empty black square.

I downloaded the AppImage for LibreWolf and it shows the icon correctly by default:

Maybe run the AppImage from the command line and see if it outputs any error messages? I get:

Code: Select all

 ➜ ./LibreWolf-89.0.1-1.x86_64.AppImage 
JavaScript error: resource://gre/modules/ExtensionContent.jsm, line 575: TypeError: PrecompiledScript.executeInGlobal: Argument 1 is not an object.
