Application Icons not showing

Post by meaganmargaret »

I have office2024 installed on Fedora (WS 43), and Textmaker et al load and run, but the textmaker file on the desktop is all white/blank and does not have an icon that represents the application correctly. Planmaker and Presentations present the same, on the desktop white/blank. Hard to tell them apart.

I looked into the desktop setting file:
Version=1.0
Name=TextMaker 2024
Icon=application-x-tml24
TryExec=/usr/bin/textmaker24
StartupWMClass=tm
Exec=/usr/bin/textmaker24 %F
Path=/usr/share/office2024

But, no luck. Would a reinstall work? Has anyone had this problem? Or has anyone figured this out? Any ideas out there?

I am a paid and licensed owner of Office 2024. I am on a Asus Z790-plus computer with 64GB of RAM, CPU is 147000k.

I have the same issue under Kubuntu 26.04

I've changed the application icons as follows, which takes care of showing them correctly in the Application Launcher and in the Task Manager:
  • textmaker-nx.desktop: Icon=application-vnd.ms-word.document.macroEnabled.12
  • planmaker-nx.desktop: Icon=application-excel
  • presentations-nx.desktop: Icon=application-mspowerpoint
For the file icons, I haven't found a solution yet. When I change the icons for *.pmdx, *.tmdx, or *.prdx in the "File Associations" panel in the "System Settings" under KDE, they are automatically reverted back to the blank icons shortly after... It's the strangest thing.

Thank you for reporting this issue, but I am unable to reproduce it.

Did you install SoftMaker Office 2024 as per the instructions mentioned here?
