Hi again! I encountered this issue. It is not that important but still, some people might get annoyed with this on Linux.

On the right side, Mechvibes is open but the icon isn't visible

OS => Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon

Never seen this problem before because I only use Windows for daily work. I will install some Linux distros to test it and let you know soon

Hi,

Encountered this issue recently while trying out the app.

Here's the solution that I found (works on GNOME, idk about Cinnamon)

Mechvibes puts it icons into the wrong directory (0x0 instead of 48x48) .

The correct directory is /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps.

So, just copy the icon into the correct directory

sudo cp /usr/share/icons/hicolor/0x0/apps/mechvibes.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/mechvibes.png

Then, update your icon-caches using : sudo update-icon-caches /usr/share/icons/*

The icon should be visible now.

P.S. The app icon is of size 512*512 . You may resize it if you want but it works either way.
