No PM-logo in cinnamon running-application-bar, but in icon in menu

[Raskaro]

While I do have the PM-Logo in the menu, there is no logo in the running-applications-bar (better name for that?) on the bottom.

LM 19.1 Cinnamon-Edition

Hi @Raskaro, thanks for reporting that.

I've seen similar issues with cinnamon not playing well with absolute paths in .desktop files. Can you try changing the Icon= line in /usr/share/applications/portmaster.desktop from an absolute path to just portmaster. Should look like:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Portmaster
GenericName=Application Firewall
Exec=portmaster-control run app --data=/var/lib/portmaster
Icon=portmaster
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=System

Hi!
That doesn't work eighter.

By change I found out that the icon doesn't work on XFCE eighter (the released alpha).

I tried everything from here, clearing the hicolor-cache, various reboots and it still doesn't work. But you are correct, there probably shouldn't be a full path. And probably /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48/apps is a better location (for a 48 px icon).

hicolor is the icon theme you installed. We cannot ensure everyone has that theme installed (and should also no mess around in other package content). I'll try to find some time to reproduce this so I can play around on my own.

Just another question, how do you usually start the portmaster app?

I think we can ... After me searching for fixing the bug, it seems to be the cleanest approach ... https://askubuntu.com/questions/300126/what-is-special-about-the-hicolor-icon-theme

Using the default Cinnamon-Menu entry - not modified anything there

@Raskaro thanks for hunting that down. I added the changes you requested in #16. Can you try the .deb installer from the github actions page here. You should have access. Please report back to the PR #16 if it works now.

After a lot of try and error I'm more or less confident that this issue has nothing to do with how we package portmaster. It's rather an issue of the compiled portmaster-ui app that does not set the correct X11 WM hint. It seems like a shortcoming with the webview library we are using as there is no way to configure the GTK window icon IMHO. There has been an issue about that in Febuary this year (webview/webview#238) but unfortunately it has been closed by the library author without a comment.

I'll create a dedicated issue in portmaster-ui tomorrow morning and will close this here for now.

Re-opened because this bug was not fixed by #16!

[mattkeenan]

This might be related to #93. I have a fix and have a PR. In short I've set up the same list of icon sizes that firefox provides (hopefully this should fix the vast majority of problems).

[dhaavi]

Probably will be fixed by #95.
