App icon problem in Linux

See original GitHub issue

I have a problem with icon i Ubuntu 17.10. The icon is default application icon (not electron icon) but when Caprine is opened it has separate indicator from the pinned one but this indicator HAS an icon tho it is larger size. image The fourth icon from top is pinned Caprine and the last icon is opened Caprine window indicator. The last icon clearly has higher resolution and it looks ugly. I haven’t tried on any other distro tho.

By the way I’ve been building Caprine myself lately and this has appeared somewhere around commit that updated build directory structure (https://github.com/sindresorhus/caprine/commit/065aa47ed191f2d251a134b8947b7d7131d41d8f).

  • Electron version: 1.7.10

Keeping this open so I remember to revert it when it’s fixed in electron-builder.

The unofficial Microsoft Teams electron wrapper has no problem with this and the code should be quite similar i suppose: https://github.com/ivelkov/teams-for-linux
