Icons not showing

[geekdad]

I realize this is an old topic, but it's still a problem for me running:

NAME="Zorin OS"
VERSION="16.2"
ID=zorin
ID_LIKE=ubuntu
PRETTY_NAME="Zorin OS 16.2"
VERSION_ID="16"
HOME_URL="https://zorin.com/os/"

More specifically I am interested in getting discord to show in the task-bar
I have followed threads, installed using flatpak, apt, and snap to no avail, currently I am running the deb package from discord themselves alongside the betterdiscord, there is no activity shown in the taskbar settings

• I have also flipped from X11 to Wayland with no success
• followed directions in this thread
• attempted to fix broken packages from synaptic which required installation
• restarting x
• locking/unlocking

I'm unsure what other details would be beneficial to get some help with this but I'm asking hopefully before I lose it and just format this thing.

As expected, the problem is specific to their build of gnome, I've opted to flip over to cinnamon as it's slim and easily installed, and all the icons are naturally in there.

I love the aesthetic from Zorin but come on.

I agree with your conclusion. I have .deb installed Discord with BetterDiscord and never had this issue on Zorin Lite. Other users have only reported it on Gnome - specifically due to the Gnome-Shell Extensions managing notifications.

I'm sure you will enjoy Cinnamon DE as I've been using it since I first started more than a year ago ..... tried a few others but not for me ..... enjoy ....
