How To Add Application To Pop OS Gnome Launcher

Following this SO post

Basically:

  • wrote my own .desktop file by hand
  • supposedly can downloaded logo and stored it in /usr/share/icons for global and ~/.local/share/icons for users, but didn’t work

  • stored it in /usr/share/applications
  • wait a few moments or relog to have the applications refreshed
