How to show dot symbol under the icon of the opened application when searching it using super key
Most probably you don't have a correct StartupWMClass
entry in your manually created .desktop
launcher for the application. To add one, follow the steps below.
- Launch Firefox application in question.
- Run
xprop WM_CLASS
in a Terminal window. The cursor should turn into a crosshair. - Place the cursor over the opened Firefox window and click. You should get a
WM_CLASS
string for the application in Terminal. -
Open the manually created
.desktop
file in a text editor and add (or modify) the following lineStartupWMClass=OBTAINED-VALUE
In place of
OBTAINED-VALUE
put a value you got from step 3 without any quotes. - Save the
.desktop
file.
