Taskbar Icons Zorin 17.2

General Help
1

The taskbar icons were working for my PyQt programs until I upgraded to Zorin 17.2, now only the generic icon shows on the taskbar.
My .desktop files all have the StartupWMClass command e.g StartupWMClass=annual.py where annual.py is the program name.
If I pin to dash the correct icon shows, but I don't want to do that.
Any suggestions?

You could try to deactivate the Taskbar, reboot and activate it again and look if it works. Another Option would be to use the Gnome Extension Dash To Panel instead Zorin's Taskbar and check if the Problem still exists.

You could try to change between Xorg and Wayland and look if this helps. To do that go to the Login screen and click on Your Profile so that the Password Field appears. It has to be appeared! When it is appeared, You should see in the bottom right Corner a Gear Icon. Click on it and You should see 2 Options:

  • Zorin Desktop
  • Zorin Desktop on Xorg

What Option is active, You can see at the Dot at the Beginning. The first Option is the Wayland Option and the 2nd one the Xorg Option (by default the Wayland Option should be active). So, click on the not-active Option, log in and test if it works.

Try to make than an absolute path. For example, if your program is in your Downloads folder:

StartupWMClass=/home/miket/Downloads/annual.py

This is case sensitive, so make sure you type your username as well as other folder names correctly.
