Why won't Cairo-Dock recognize the icons for Chrome app links?

Question

In Chrome, I've used the 'Create Application Shortcuts' option to add links to apps on my desktop. The appear with their favicon, but when I move them to cairo-dock, the favicon is not recognized, and I'm not sure where to find it.

Answer 1

I had a slightly different problem but with a similar solution I feel. When I created a prism shortcut which I believe is probably treated in the same or similar way.

1. The Icon will be here ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps

2. The desktop file will be in ~/desktop if you open it in gedit you will see the Icon reference at the bottom.

3. The fav Icon is small 16*16 and is a png so it will look crap on your cairo dock so see if you can find a svg replacement.

Once you have it there is a guide here on a couple of different ways to change the Icon on your dock How To – Configuring Cairo-Dock
