Description Frank 2017-11-09 02:13:57 UTC 
Currently, no application icon is displayed when I receive a notification from geary – I just see the sender and the title. It seems that monochromatic icons are required – could it be the case, that there is none?

Hi Frank, thanks for reporting this. We do provide a symbolic icon, and it shows up fine for me in notifications under gnome-shell.

How are you running Geary? If you are building it from source, you may need to do a "sudo make install" and maybe restart your desktop notifications daemon for it show up.
Comment 2 Frank 2017-11-14 00:15:15 UTC 
I run it via Flatpak – could this be the root of the problem?
Comment 3 Michael Gratton 2017-11-14 01:10:06 UTC 
The symbolic icon should be getting installed there as well, so I don't know if Flatpak specifically is the issue. Which linux distribution and desktop environment are you using?
Comment 4 Frank 2017-11-14 01:21:35 UTC 
Fedora 27 beta with Gnome 3.26. Is there maybe some portal thin needed? (I don’t know much about Flatpak)
Comment 5 Michael Gratton 2017-11-14 03:45:47 UTC 
Ah no, it was only working for me because I also had Geary installed via a deb package.

I've pushed a fix to master in commit da15ebe. It's a surprisingly large change, so it'll probably have to wait for 0.13 rather than 0.12.1.

Thanks for the bug report!

Ok, sad, but thanks anyway!
Comment 7 Michael Gratton 2018-02-01 15:42:18 UTC 
Actually, will look at backporting this to 0.12.2.
Comment 8 Michael Gratton 2018-04-11 04:48:11 UTC 
Cherry picked to geary-0.12 as commit 9377074a.
