How to override the icon in the gnome dash?
Closed this issue · 11 comments
I am sorry to bother ....again....but
Do you know how can I override the icons in the following pictures with the appropriate shadow icons?
The problem arises with ...all third party software...mendeley, vesta, coot, mathematica, medleytext....
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for reporting this. But this is somewhat involved with those code itself. I faced similar issue with both mendeley and VESTA. While VESTA people does not response, for mendeley, its a known bug:
http://support.mendeley.com/customer/portal/questions/16348265-on-linux-mendeley-launcher-icon-and-running-application-icon-do-not-match
That's too bad. I thought it was a gnome (hidden somewhere) setting. So....not a lot we can do...right?
I don't think we either as user or icon creator, can do much. For VESTA though, I use a workaround to replace (i assume you are using rpm) /usr/local/vesta-3.4.0/img/logo.png by the ~/.icon/Shadow/sclable/apps/vesta.svg.
You can either use convert or inkscape to do the conversion.
workaround for vesta works.
Thanks

Hi, sorry to bother you again. I am not sure which version of fedora and mendeley you are using, but I have built a mendeley rpm for f27, which solves the problem.
Are you interested? Kindly let me know, then I can put it somewhere for you to download
Yes. I'm using fedora 27. Thank you very much.
Ps. Where exactly can I vote? I am already in the given url but I cannot find the button ...
