Description

  • I am on the latest Hyper.app version

  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

  • OS version and name: 4.20.0-arch1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Dec 24 03:00:40 UTC 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  • Hyper.app version: Hyper 2.1.1 (stable)

Issue

When hyper is being installed a .desktop files is set it properly and is accesible,but if you try to add the App Icon from the gnome shell app icons you cannot, and also if search hyper and add as favorite when the app is being launched you can see two icon, this can be easily fix it by adding

StartupWMClass=hyper

at the end of the .desktop file
