GWSL does not show the app icon in Windows taskbar

[darkguy2008]

The image says it all:

Maybe this app is a bit different? I've noticed it doesn't appear in the Linux Apps launcher, I have to start xterm then launch it through there. The Xterm window has an icon, but GitKraken's doesn't.

Thanks for this awesome app! Finally I can get rid of my Linux machine :D

I'm glad GWSL is helpful :) This is not really fixable unfortunately as it depends on the app. Apps that don't set their icon a certain way will revert to the vcxsrv fallback icon. Sorry :(

In my case, it does not show any icon, not even the xcxsrv one; don't know what i did to disable it...

Later i found that multi-window mode may cause the taskbar icon to disappear.

Hmm. that is a strange bug. I think, however, that it is probably a windows bug on your end. Or it could be on the side of the Linux app you are using.

It is gone after a restart, wished i could keep it up to see what was wrong, but alas.
