LMMS icon not in Panel when project is open

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.

I have LMMS 1.3.0-alpha.2 on Linux Mint and it seems to have integrated fine. Shows up in the search menu and stuff. And when I open it without a project loaded I see the LMMS logo in the panel. However, when I load a project that logo turns into the generic gear icon. Is there a way to fix this?

No, i doubt that. It is propl. a glitch in our code. I am not familiar with how Linux make the logical association between a program/ App, and the icon used. Perhaps there is something in a context-menu, but it is not something you can do in LMMS.
You could ask in a Linux-forum.

I'm confused. If it's a glitch in your code, why should I ask in a Linux-forum?

ya i got sidetracked there. I actually only meant to post the latter part, when i realised that it was a Linux related question. Sorry about that one 😳

No worries! I'm glad I was brave enough to ask for clarification, that's not always the case.
I will ask around, thank you :)
