The app icon for Open TV appears properly in the app menu and the system tray. However, in the icons-only-task-manager it appears as the Wayland icon. ---

what is the name of the process that the program is running? maybe the process is just identified as wayland 🤷‍♂️. I keep telling myself one day I’m going to install something with wayland and try it out but I have yet to do so. ---

I’m pretty sure it’s because of your icon pack. I had the same thing with papirus icons and advanced radio player in the systray. There was some kind of icon there, but nothing pointed to radio ---

I’ve edited the icon via `edit applications` to see if that would help. No go. But I’ll try the icons I have installed and see if anything changes. **EDIT** : Tried Breeze/Breeze Dark, Ars Dark/Ars Light, Qogir/Quogir Dark, Slot Dark/Slot Light, the different Fluent variants, the different Kora variants. Wayland icon remained. ---

I had this issue with a handful of apps when I was using Plasma 5. The only one that I’ve come across recently is `manuskript`. I remember finding a written tutorial on how to manually fix it, but that was before search engines became unusable. I did find a Reddit post (of course) where someone links a YT video from TLE (included).

Does this application have a .desktop shortcut? I had this same issue with XnView MP and got the icon back? By doing these steps. Essentially linking a window rule to the .desktop file. Of course change the .desktop name tot he one for your program. I know mine is KDE plasma but other DEs must have similar settings somewhere for anyone with different DE. Open Window rules for application \> add property \> select “Desktop file name” \> add value as “xnviewmp.desktop” It is the rule at the bottom called “desktop file name” under appearance & fixes, I added that entry. ![image](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/1/9/191026c2a2ecb83c1cf1821090acf9d3cad63ee0.png) ---

@_Six, I gave it a shot. Added rule, rebooted. Not working, though. ![cv](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/4/9/49c2c0731eb3fbef9229f45306ad3b1153e925c7.jpeg) ---

I was hoping that would work. I had the same thing happen to me and put up with the wayland icon for about 9 months after trying everything. And then tried again with this window rule and it worked after a couple hours doing different things, I was almost certain this would work for you. Only other thing I could think of is changing it’s window rule from ‘apply initially’ to ‘force’. Is there a .desktop file for it located here `.local/share/applications/`? Or it may be here`/usr/share/applications/`. ---

OpenTV desktop file name (Open TV) does not match resource class name (open\_tv), so task manager can not match the icon with window class. You can rename it ```auto sudo mv /usr/share/applications/Open\ TV.desktop /usr/share/applications/open_tv.desktop ``` and it should work. No reboot necessary. ---

> [@\_Six](#): > > Is there a .desktop file for it located here `.local/share/applications/`? > Or it may be here`/usr/share/applications/`. Yes, Open TV is in both locations as `Open TV.desktop` rather than `open_tv.desktop`. So I just deleted the Window Rule and re-did it. Instead of using `open_tv` for _App Initially_, I used `Open TV`. Seems to have worked fine. ![bnm](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/5/2/52f575b87b635eda6241a2a550718ddf0743a58e.png) ![bnm2](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/3/5/358fa293418ba3876812880ed382642b55c83d74.png) Thanks! ---

Nice, good to see it working now. Also good to know that field doesn’t always need “.desktop” in it, in the event I come across another software requiring me to apply this setting. ---

Thanks for the instructions. That’s how it works for me too. I misunderstood your first post. I was only looking at the systray and not the taskbar. It wasn’t until the second time I looked, today, after reading through the topic again, that I noticed the same error 🖖 ![Screen_05_06_25_16:59](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/e/6/e649258972e1c25a6954fc27962325b782e8a294.png) ---

> [@jake99](#): > > ```auto > sudo mv /usr/share/applications/Open\ TV.desktop /usr/share/applications/open_tv.desktop > > ``` I made a note of this instruction but didn’t get around to testing until now. In case anyone wants to know I went to my xnviewmp.desktop and changed the name to `XnView.desktop` and this resolved my issue too, so it seems the mismatch was the same. Only difference is I manually edited the filename from within dophin but the same thing though. Nice to know there is an alternative method to fix. I assume this file won’t be overwritten by and update to break the icon again but it’s working so far. ---
