Is there a way to fix missing icon for Visual Studio Code on Wayland?

Time:11-24

I have a problem with vscode if I run it on Wayland natively. Instead of appropriate icon I got a generic icon for Wayland applications as on screenshot.

I have tried to find a temporary solution editing .desktop files of vscode, but without success. As I know, the problem is in the wrong wmclass which sets on startup of vscode.

I am struggling with this problem too. I have tried to find solution and find a few issues https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/129953 Please check last messages at that discussion.

You can try to substitute value of WMClass with visual-studio-code of Code

StartupWMClass=code-url-handler

Also there is solution like this "The problem can also be resolved by modifying the desktopName entry in /opt/visual-studio-code/resources/app/package.json to "desktopName": "visual-studio-code.desktop"" from that discussion too.
