odd , here , its updated 🤔

, can you you try using the very latest version (check releases )

[ivoxavier]

Both my latop and desktop have this issue. Maybe I just uninstall and reinstall the app again. And yes, I'm running the latest version.

I have a theory here that it's related to this line, which is specific to the Linux build:

desktop/app/src/main-process/app-window.ts

Line 60 in a04c35e

windowOptions.icon = path.join(__dirname, 'static', 'icon-logo.png')

This is the window-specific icon, and might be overriding the default icon as part of the installer. That's pointing to this file, which is using the old style:

https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/blob/a04c35efd3e23e652282d839875f65c88baa3bfb/app/static/linux/icon-logo.png

I haven't seen this on my 20.04 install either, but that's my best guess currently about where to investigate.
