How do I add an application icon?

Hello and thank you for this nice little app.

How can I add the Brave browser icon? Currently I see a "?" question mark icon.

That's interesting. Brave displays a specific icon here, while Firefox only shows a generic one.

In any case, I've pushed a fix that attempts to guess the icon name from the application name when it isn't explicitly set. This resolves the issue for Firefox on my machine. You can give it a try to see if it fixes Brave for you as well: v0.9.5

Hey, thanks. Having noticed it I see I get the same thing on my pavucontrol Volume Control on Xfce also which sent me down a rabbit hole of GTK stuff but I didn't manage to resolve that by dropping icons for everything into respective folders in /usr/share/icons/hicolor. (I confess I am still very much wet behind the ears using linux, the solution may take me some time)

I'll try the fix and let you know. In the meantime I suspect it's more to do with my setup which I will probably take me a while to resolve as my understanding and comprehension evolves.

Cheers!

I'd actually like to be able to manually change icons as well. This is useful in WINE enabled programs that don't output their icon very easily.

I'm not sure about WINE specifically, but for native Linux applications, it's typically the application's responsibility to provide an icon to PulseAudio. A mixer program generally shouldn't be expected to fill in that gap. You might want to check with the WINE project about how to supply an appropriate icon to PulseAudio.
