Panel icon for running programs

In the panel, the Firefox icon is displayed for running programs instead of the floorp icon.
Is there any way to change this?

Re: Panel icon for running programs

What version of xfce4-panel are you running?
Are you using the Window Buttons (tasklist) plugin or xfce4-docklike-plugin?

Look at the floorp.desktop file. Note the "Icon=" line and the "StartupWMClass=" (if it exists) line. Make sure the names listed there are resolved by your icon theme.

You can also run "xprop" in a terminal window and then click on the floorp window to see which icon and name properties it is advertising.

"icon" and "StartupWMClass" point to floorp.
And "xprop" displays the Firefox icon under "_NET_WM_ICON(CARDINAL) = ".

Which icon theme are you using? Does it have a floorp icon?

Also, what version of xfce4-panel are you running?

The xfce-panel version is "4.20.5 (Xfce 4.20)".
The icon theme is "Colloid-Dark" and has a floorp icon.

Re: Panel icon for running programs

Which distro are you using and how did you install floorp?

I just tested with ArchLinux + Colloid-Dark and floorp-bin from the AUR and it works fine. The icon appears and xprop shows the floorp icon as well.
