No icon with Linux DEB package

[cypherpunk1984]

Describe the bug
Linux version (deb package) installs without an icon. I can set a .desktop file in my /home/user/local/share/applications directory for one to appear on the app list, but the app itself has no icon, which makes it super thin on the task bar.

To Reproduce
Dowload deb package, install, open app.

Expected behavior
Should have a visible icon, both in the app list (or start menu), and the app itself.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Linux Mint 21.3 Cinammon

as a personal fix, if you open the launcher properties, you can change the icon in that popup. not sure where in the actual code it would be, so I can't fix the core issue.

Didn't work. Using latest version btw.

EDIT: I remember Tutanota team having the same issue with their electron client on Linux a couple of years ago, and then they fixed it. Maybe you can find the answer in their Github repo.

Adjust the icon of the launcher itself, not the app

Don't know what you mean by launcher. I have already tried with the .desktop file, it puts an icon on it in the app list, but not the app. Is this what you mean?

Hey, i found a way to add akuse's icon in linux, i hope it is gonna be useful

1- download the icon from the GitHub, it is png and enough.

2- after download, rename it to akuse-beta.png no uppercases no spaces.

3- copy it to the absolute path: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/
here's the command:
sudo cp Downloads/akuse-beta.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/

4- update the icons cache with the cammand:
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/hicolor

That's all, if you see the same problem just restart your device.
