Workaround to fix Microsoft Edge based Web Apps not having there own ICON when WAYLAND is enabled

Support AUR

I had this issues when I enabled WAYLAND for ms-edge using the ~/.config/microsoft-edge-stable-flags.conf file

--enable-features=WebRTCPipeWireCapturer
--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform
--ozone-platform=wayland

I was able to find the WMClass for the “App” after opening it using this

unix[dot]stackexchange[dot]com/questions/362731/how-to-identify-window-by-clicking-in-wayland

Once I knew that, all I had to do was rename the .desktop file based on it. Which was just adding _ to the name e.g.

mv msedge-hpfldicfbfomlpcikngkocigghgafkph-Default.desktop msedge-_hpfldicfbfomlpcikngkocigghgafkph-Default.desktop
                                                                 ^^^

And I got the “Icons” like how it was before. :slight_smile:

This worked but when the “App” receives a notification, clicking on it doesn’t focus to the app window.

For now, just switched to Firefox.

Seems like this issue is only present in MS Edge and works as expected in Chrome, Brave.
