Question

Hi,

Developing for Linux, but have a problem.
When the game is running on native Linux there is not application icon?
How would I fix the above?
Thanks!

Generally on Linux, executables don’t have an “icon”, it works different to Windows. Generally an “icon” appears because of a .desktop file that the user of said distro sets up themselves for a given executable.

EDIT: One possible solution would be to create an AppImage, since those can contain an icon.

Hi,

We don’t use AppImage.
Would a Linux Flatpak have the ability to display an icon for the game when running?

Flatpaks do have icons, so you could go that route if you wanted.

By the way, according to the FAQ of the forums, you should avoid “signing” your posts, see:
