Icon in window title bar in KDE Plasma/KWin shows a Wayland W logo rather than WebCord logo. about io.github.spacingbat3.webcord

Thanks for the extensive bug report! Considering you have a possible solution, could you open a pull request with the fix applied? The desktop file is located (here)[https://github.com/flathub/io.github.spacingbat3.webcord/blob/master/vitamins/io.github.spacingbat3.webcord.desktop]

Also a sidenote, WebCord offers appimages which tend to work on most distros, so you could test the appimages on immutable distros

I think you've misunderstood.
I haven't figured out how to fix it yet.

The workaround with KWin works by importing the script into KWin, but it shouldn't be the way of fixing this, as well that the rule can't work on .desktop files.

The current issue is that the window doesn't find under KWin the right flatpak desktop file (I think).

I've tested the appimage and it has the issue fixed, though I don't know why.

By the way, why isn't this method of building, which is based on the tarball, being used?

Maybe @TheEvilSkeleton could shed some light (sorry for pinging you).

Oh yeah my bad, I didn't read the code snippet correctly and thought it's a .desktop file.
I do have the same issue with all flatpak applications that run natively on wayland and use GTK. A possible workaround would be to restrict webcord of wayland permissions so that it launches using Xorg, which should make the icon appear

While I can live with the KWin script, this should be somehow addressed, as this issue on most apps has been addressed upstream rather than through the distribution method/service.
Which is the current state of building WebCord from the source rather than extracting the appimage?

[ludg1e]

Though looking at pending PRs, it seems that an upcoming custom window bar will be available at some point (probably), so I don't think it's worth it spending more time looking into this.

If someone wants to get a quick fix just use the KWin script, stick with the bug or use XWayland/X11.

Have a nice day.
