i have vesktop installed but i want to give it the discord icon (see pic). so i did some research and my vi ~/.local/share/applications/discord.desktop to this:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Discord
Exec=vesktop %U
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=discord
StartupWMClass=Vesktop
GenericName=Internet Messenger
Categories=Network;
Keywords=discord;vencord;electron;chat;
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/discord;
Comment=Vesktop is a custom Discord desktop app

now when i search "discord" , i get an app showing up named discord with the discord icon that actually launches vesktop. this is neat because i have some keyboard macros that launch discord with k-runner that i want to keep compatible with windows , so it works out nice. but when i actually launch it , it shows the old vesktop app icon while being open.

any way to change this ? i tried StartupWMClass=vesktop (what it originally was) , StartupWMClass=Vesktop , and also StartupWMClass=discord

thanks.
