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.

Re: Application Icons not showing
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:

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?

Re: Application Icons not showing
I'm pretty sure I used the .deb package to install. I remember wondering about the version number "1234" in the file name...
Re: Application Icons not showing
But for your Fedora (WS 43), best ideal is these terminal commands:
But even if you want to do manual installation, you should use RPM package.https://www.softmaker.com/en/support/installation/linux/office-2024 wrote:Code: Select all
sudo dnf install -y curl curl -fsSL https://softmaker.net/down/install-softmaker-office-2024.sh | sudo bash
