Slack icon not displaying properly on Windows Buttons

Hello, so far everything works beatifully with xfce4-panel 4.16.2 (Xfce 4.16), however the icon for Slack seems to be wrongly rendered.

This does not causes any issue in functionality but I thought it would be nice that it got fixed.

Tested in Xubuntu 21.04, Slack 4.19.2 from Snap

Thank you

Apparently, this was fixed in commit 2fbd44f3 some time ago.

Maybe this is a different bug though, or a matter of not being able to find the icon.

You can fix the issue by copying /snap/slack/44/usr/share/pixmaps/slack.png to /usr/share/pixmaps/.

Thank you! that worked, I assume that's still somehow a bug tho?

My guess would be that it is a packaging problem. The icon probably has to be installed in /var/lib/snapd/desktop/icons, so that programs which do not read the .desktop file can find it.

I tried with every Snap app I could find on my system, none had troubles except Slack

/var/lib/snapd/desktop/icons/ is empty

DataGrip for example only has icons at:

/snap/datagrip/116/bin/datagrip.png
/snap/datagrip/117/bin/datagrip.png

I'll try to raise this to the Slack bug report system :)

Closing this report for now.
