Linux do not have icons

#

Only when running from shortcut

look when I list all the application then it should show icon but it is showing just a name of app 'ltpl-webtracker-electronjs'.

I told you why it's have icon

#

You can check desktop file

#

If icon exists

#

And you don't need extension in icon file name

Custom App Icons

The purpose of this guide is to walk through the process of generating and setting an app icon, as well as setting installer and setup icons.

#

You also need icon property in packaget

#

And browser window icon
