Help with #1149 (different icons for different modi)

[pedrolimasi]

In the issue #1149, @DaveDavenport stated that the reported bug is actually the intended behaviour and the issue was closed.
Although I was not the one who opened the issue, I ran into it with myself and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

The app I'm running has no icon in window modi. No solution to the problem was suggested, and while digging through articles on Xorg's NET_WM_ICON property, I have come up with nothing that helped. I understand the solution would not come through rofi's side, but if I could solve it myself in my machine, that's good enough for me.

All help is appreciated, thanks.

Its not really intended behaviour as I would like it to be better :-/, it is just how things work according to spec.

the best solution is for the application to set an icon.
(you can run xprop from a terminal and click on the application to see what it sets)

The fallback is that the class name resolves an icon in the icon theme.
If the application sets a class name, you can try adding an image with that name.

[DaveDavenport]

installed it, I am not getting an icon entry in xprop. this is fun.

[DaveDavenport]

If you have rofi 1.7.1 you can add an image with the name notion-app-enhanced to your icon theme and that should then pick-up.

[DaveDavenport]

I think if you upgrade rofi, it might just work out of the box if you have it installed from a deb/rpm file. (and not using appimage)

Great! Thanks a lot man. I'll wait for the AUR to update, then test it. If it worked on your side, I'll mark this thread as answered.

[DaveDavenport]

please check the release notes for 1.7.1 because of a bug in older version a small config file tweak might be needed.

Apparently it's a thing isn't it? Applications failing to set their icon. Even found a specialized tool https://github.com/xeyownt/xseticon.

[DaveDavenport]

did not know that tool.
