ApprovabilityVerdict: Approved at Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a focused Linux desktop integration fix that installs app-ID theme icons and conditionally refreshes the existing icon cache without changing application workflows. The production path is isolated to packaged Linux startup registration, failures are contained, and the added behavior has targeted filesystem and process-lifecycle tests. Notes:

Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change remains within the launching user's authority and preserves URL-handler registration after icon-installation failures.

If an earlier refresh failed, a later packaged Linux registration with no available resource path will not retry the refresh.

Some docks and bars look the Wayland app id up in the icon theme when no visible desktop entry matches the window, for example an AppImage run without integration. Current Noctalia's taskbar does this with the literal, case-sensitive id. When registering the URL handler, copy the packaged 256px icon into the user hicolor theme as com.t3tools.t3code and com.t3tools.T3Code, skipping icons that already match. Refresh icon-theme.cache only when one already exists, and only after this launch changed an icon or when an installed icon is newer than the cache, so a failed refresh is retried on a later launch. The refresh times out after five seconds and force-kills the helper if it ignores SIGTERM.

What Changed
Linux docks and bars that look the Wayland app id up in the icon theme now find
the T3 Code icon. T3 installs
com.t3tools.t3codeandcom.t3tools.T3Codeicons into the user's hicolor theme when it registers its URL handler.
Follows up #10895 linux-wayland-desktop-icon, which fixed launcher grouping.
Why
When no visible desktop entry matches the window, some shells fall back to a
theme lookup of the app id, for example for an AppImage run without
integration. Current Noctalia's taskbar does this with the literal,
case-sensitive
com.t3tools.T3Code, and other shells try the lowercase form.The hidden handler entry already carries an absolute icon path since #8673
linux-mime-cache, so this only adds the two theme names. It does not use the
t3codename, which would hide the.deband AUR system icon.The copy runs with the URL-handler registration after the window is up, not
during pre-ready startup. Icons that already match are left alone. An existing
icon-theme.cacheis refreshed after this launch changes an icon, or when it isolder than the installed icons, so a failed refresh is retried on a later
launch; none is created. The refresh times out after five seconds and
force-kills a helper that ignores SIGTERM.
UI Changes
No in-app UI changes. In shells that fall back to the icon theme, the taskbar
shows the T3 icon instead of a generic one.
The screenshots use Noctalia 5.2.0's taskbar on Sway 1.12, with T3 Code run
from its
.debpayload without desktop integration, so only the hidden handlerentry exists. Before is the
0.0.45-nightly.20260930.2493.deb; after is thisPR's
.deb. On T3's first launch Noctalia picks up the new icon at its nexticon-theme check (it polls every 60 seconds), as the recording shows. Once the
icons exist, Noctalia includes their directory when it starts, so later
sessions do not wait for that check. T3 ran through Xwayland here because Electron's
native Wayland path crashed under GPU-less headless Sway; Noctalia sees the
same
com.t3tools.T3Codeid either way.Before: full screen.
After: full screen.
