Simplenote icon missing in GNOME dock

[joshcjohns]

When launched, the Simplenote entry that appears in GNOME dock is a generic, grey icon, not the blue Simplenote icon. Using Fedora 23, GNOME 3.18.2, Simplenote 1.0.1 for Linux 64-bit.

On Ubuntu 16.04 Gnome 3.20 there is a icon

I think that depends on the installation process. In the case of @RobbieFM there is a *.deb package for Ubuntu that includes everything needed for the application to work correctly. For other distributions that we must perform a manual installation.

@joshcjohns I recommend after installing Simplenote, for example in /opt directory, create a desktop entry with the necessary information. You can do this with a text editor or an application like MenuLibre.

I installed it using the .deb in Xubuntu and in the taskbar, there is no icon.

A similar situation (note that Xfce's Whisker Menu uses the right icons but that the panel's Window Buttons plugin uses the generic white window icon)

The AUR maintainer said it was an upstream issue. An Xfce forum mod said that the app (Electron?) possibly had issues with the Extended Window Manager Hints (EWMH) spec (and recommended a hack—xseticon—for getting around it on my individual install). I found a few threads about this in the Electron issues repo (electron/electron/issues/6205), and tried changing the partial icon path to a full path and linking to a resized 128px square icon—neither worked.

Perhaps try NativeImage (rhysd/NyaoVim/issues/57) when setting the BrowserWindow icon?

As fixed:
