=== Fix missing icons for games in GNOME dock and activities overview ===

</translate>

GNOME uses the window class to determine the icon associated with a window. Steam currently doesn't set the required key for this in its .desktop files<ref>https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/12207</ref>, but you can fix this manually by editing the <code>StartupWMClass</code> key for each game's .desktop file, found under <code>~/.local/share/applications/</code>.

For games running through Proton, the value should be <code>steam_app_<game_id></code> (where <code><game_id></code> matches the value after steam://rungameid/ on the <code>Exec</code> line).

For games running natively, the value should match the game's main executable.

For example, the modified .desktop file for Valheim looks like this:

</translate>

[Desktop Entry]

Name=Valheim

Comment=Play this game on Steam

Exec=steam steam://rungameid/892970

Icon=steam_icon_892970

Terminal=false

Type=Application

Categories=Game;

StartupWMClass=valheim.x86_64

</syntaxhighlight>
