MOOP I have Spotify installed through Flatpak and the icon does not show properly in the icon task list. The icon does show in the menu, on the other hand. I don't know what could be causing this and it probably has to do with it being a Flatpak and not a "fully native" application. If anyone has/is experienced/ing the same issue and knows how to resolve it... Thanks a lot in advance. Edit: image
henkesteen MOOP Same here, this happened after last flatpak Spotify release. I think this is up to the people who provide the flatpak package. Maybe I'm wrong 🤷
[deleted] actually spotify is available in the solus 3rd party repository. so, you can install it from there and it should work. btw, did you not notice a seperate section for propreitary apps in software center? 😁
MOOP Just installed Spotify from the 3rd party repository while on the Plasma version, icon is missing too.
[deleted] well maybe you could try changing your current icon theme to something else and check if the problem still persists? i think your current icon theme has no specific icon for spotify.
MOOP [deleted] You're right. I installed a different icon theme and the icon is now shown. I find it awkward that the default plasma icons don't include an icon for Spotify, though. Thanks a lot.
henkesteen jppelt Im using Papirus-Dark, the icon is visible in the menu, but when spotify opens the icon is not right in the "app bar". One strange thing is then I close Spotify, the correct icon appears, and the disappears quickly.
Harvey It does not appear to be a Solus specific issue. https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Linux/Few-broken-things-since-latest-update/td-p/5264045 People from multiple distributions and using different DE's are reporting that icon display is broken as well as remembering window position and size which I have also noticed.
Staudey I've just updated the version in our Third Party repository and at least don't experience any issues with it on Budgie. But I have to say that I also didn't have issues with the icon in the previous version.
528491 Window size/position and icon is fixed, but did you manage to make it behave correctly when added to the panel on budgie? Expected: Open Spotify from budgie menu Right klick on the icon and klick on the star Close Spotify Now, if you open spotify again via the panel symbol, the launcher should become the task itself. Observed still after latest update: Open Spotify from budgie menu Right klick on the icon and klick on the star Close Spotify Now, if you open Spotify again via the panel symbol, the launcher remains blinking and there is a new Spotify task on the panel. Firefox: Launcher/Task working properly Spotify: Broken
