Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
Platform
Linux
OS version
Ubuntu 24.04
App version
6.4.1
Current Behavior
When I open a new window, its icon on the dock is generic (gear instead of the application specific/provided icon).
Expected Behavior
When a new window is opened, it will have a corresponding icon in the dock that matches the SimpleX logo.
Steps To Reproduce
- Dowload .deb file from https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/releases/latest/download/simplex-desktop-ubuntu-24_04-x86_64.deb.
- Install it from CLI
sudo apt install ./simplex-desktop-ubuntu-24_04-x86_64.deb - Start the application.
- The new window will have the generic gear icon instead of the SimpleX logo.
