Three Dots on ArmCord

[gelatinbomb]

The Problem

ArmCord shows three dots on the tray icon instead of the regular Discord Icon.

Details

I tried using the static icon instead of the dynamic one but nothing seems to work. I tried other electron flatpak apps like MS Teams and it appears to be working. I also tried to force both X.Org and Wayland and it fails on both of them.

Logs

This appears each time I use "journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -f":

I am using the armcord flatpak and the icon seems to be located at: $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/.flatpak/xyz.armcord.ArmCord/tmp/.org.chromium.Chromium.XXXXXX instead of /tmp

I have the same problem with the three-dots icon. In my case the application is BlueMail.

It says Impossible to lookup icon for 'BlueMail1_1' in /tmp/.org.chromium.Chromium.9S3tp8 and that's because there is no such folder in /tmp.

Some background which might be relevant. I originally installed the DEB file from the BlueMail website. Then I changed my mind and uninstalled it and then installed the version offered to me by Pop!_Shop (the built-in app installer GUI that comes with Pop!_OS), which is flatpak.

If I have Enable Legacy Tray Icons Support enabled, I see two tray icons, one with the correct BlueMail icon, and the other with the three dots. Both of them work to display the application. If I disable that option, I only get the three-dots icon.

As a workaround, you can use Custom Icons in the extension's settings. This only works if you use the Dynamic tray icon. Other icons create temporary folders with unique names each time you open ArmCord, so there is no permanent path to them. Alternatively, you could copy the png file to a permanent location and direct AppIndicator there.

The indicator ID should be chrome_status_icon_1 and the icon name should be $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/.flatpak/xyz.armcord.ArmCord/tmp/tray.png (Replace $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR with the actual path otherwise it won't work)

The workaround doesn't fully work. My situation: I am trying to put a custom icon for NordPass due to it showing as three dots. However, all of my electron apps show with the ID chrome_status_icon_1. So, when I add the custom icon, I get multiple NordPass icons. Screenshot below shows Discord app with NordPass icon.
