All Discord .desktop files using the same Discord stable icon
- Distribution (version): Arch Linux (Zen Kernel)
- Desktop environment: KDE Plasma 6.2.4
- Installing method: pacman
- App name (version): Discord (canary, ptb, development, any icon starting with
discord)
When using the Papirus icon theme, any program using an icon starting with discord seems to use the papirus Discord icon, regardless of path.
For example:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=DiscordCanary (DVM-managed)
GenericName=Internet Me
Exec=/home/megu/.dvm/branches/canary/DiscordCanary/DiscordCanary
Icon=/home/megu/.dvm/branches/canary/DiscordCanary/discord.png
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Categories=Network;InstantMessaging
StartupWMClass=discord
In this example, the Icon is /home/megu/.dvm/branches/canary/DiscordCanary/discord.png, which is the orange Discord Canary icon, but the KDE start menu is rendering it as Papirus' discord.svg.
I made a program called discord-modloader, which has a custom icon similar to discord-development.
The icon is definitely installed, as you can see here.
But once I select the icon, it just shows the Papirus discord icon instead.
It seems that the KDE start menu is just showing anything with discord as the discord icon, even if the full name is different.
If I disable Papirus, and switch to something like Breeze, all the icons work as expected:
Closing because it's probably related to https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/issues/3663
i see that all your discords have "DVM-managed" appended to them. what does it mean? your problem is probably related to this, as Plasma isn't known for behaviour you're describing. also, i couldn't help but notice that the path in the desktop files for these is hardcoded, meaning they can't be themed. i don't really know how to get to the root of this, but it isn't related to adapting Papirus to Plasma 6
@morganist DVM is just a shell script that extracts the discord tarball from the discord website and just makes it a bit less annoying to update. If you think the issue is because of hardcoded paths, I can try adding the executable to my path and just using Exec=DiscordCanary instead
so, this script extracts the executables and installs them? and makes desktop files that specify the icon?
