Why is the icon I've placed into /usr/share/icons not displaying in the MATE Applications menu?
XFCE: image as whole applications menu button, not just icon.desktop file does not work from /usr/share/applicationsHow do I fix the colors of my icons?Centos 7 RPM Packaging - Create a desktop shortcut during installation
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I have a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications with the entry:
[Desktop Entry]
Icon=my-app
...
I have placed my-app.png into /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps.
The icon displays just fine for its entry in the MATE Application menu if I explicitly point it to the icon location:
Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/my-app.png
But it doesn't work if I use the basename:
Icon=my-app
Why is it failing with just the basename? This seems to be how other applications do it.
I am referencing the specifications from freedesktop.org. My distro is Fedora 30.
This is testing for an RPM package so I am not looking for answers that direct me to place it anywhere in my home folder.

Use a custom url for you're icon.
Icon=/some/dir/icon.png
Also chech the size of the icon. I believe there is a limit for the size it should be in.
Small (48 pixels) Standard (64 pixels) Large (96 pixels).
Hope This helped!
