What I’m trying to do
I am using AwesomeWM on Gentoo, and have had the following problem ever since first installing Obsidian on my system: no icon shows up on my taskbar when I open an instance of Obsidian. I have tried, and have found quite a few posts asking about this problem, but all of them were archived, since no answer was given.
Things I have tried
I’ve tried all the other suggestions in previous posts, but nothing worked for me.
What actually worked, and might help somebody else too:
- Open obsidian
- Go to Settings/Appearance/Custom App Icon → Choose
- Search for the obsidian.png files in your icons folder (most likely presiding in /usr/share/icons/hicolor), and pick a resolution approppriate for the size of your taskbar
- Relaunch Obsidian
- Bask in the glory of your now-fuctional taskbar icon.
