From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How can I add an icon of a Flatpak program to IceWM toolbar without providing full icon path? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I would like to add a Flatpak program to the toolbar by editing ~/.icewm/toolbar file.

What I noticed is when I add a native package, I only need to provide the name of the icon.

I tried the same with Flatpaks, provided the same icon name that's provided in their desktop entry file (basically the package name) but it doesn't work that way, I have to search for the icon in various subdirectories and provide the full path to make it work.

Edit: I noticed that Flatpak icons don't appear in menu either.

Isn't there a more practical way to make the icon of Flatpak programs appear on IceWM toolbar/menu?
