I'm having difficulty changing a program's dock icon. I was following the instructions here, and I think the problem rests with my program.desktop's pathing. This program isn't "installed" and it rests in my documents folder. Here's the file I have added to /usr/share/applications

[Desktop Entry]   
Name=prog    
Comment=Explain me here!    
Icon=/home/garrisonxci/Documents/Jaxx/resources/app/img   
Exec=/home/garrisonxci/Documents/prog/prog.exe
Terminal=false   
Type=Application   
Categories=Other  
StartupNotify=true

The icon still shows up as the generic grey question mark.

  • Does the Icon name iclude the file extension .png / .jpg ... ? – M. Becerra Apr 19 '17 at 19:20
  • A few things don't make sense: the application cannot be a .exe and, as my upper neighbour mentions, if you use full path to the icon, it needs the extension. Possibly other issues play a role. Please mention the application and the actual content of the .desktop file. The posted info is not sufficient. – Jacob Vlijm Apr 19 '17 at 19:42
  • The icon name is a .png, the application is Jaxx.

    That is the actual content of the .desktop, I created it from instructions linked in the OP.
