While I'm familiar with Ubuntu, I've used it on 16.04 and earlier versions and it "automagically" showed the icon for me when downloaded and installed, so this was something strange for me this time. Something curious is that if I use the "search" option, I can see the app with the icon but not on the Launcher, how to solve this? So I can pin it to the Dock? Open terminal Type gedit and press enter Paste the below code in gedit Desktop Entry TypeApplication Namests CommentSpring Tool Suite Icon/home/user/sts-bundle/sts-3.8.2.RELEASE/icon.xpm Exec/home/user/sts-bundle/sts-3.8.2. I made both of them following the accepted answer in this question: How to pin Eclipse to the Unity launcher? Icon=/app/tools/spring-tool-suite-3.9.1.RELEASE-e4.7.1a-linux-gtk-x86_64/sts-bundle/sts-3.9.1.RELEASE/icon.xpmĮxec=/app/tools/spring-tool-suite-3.9.1.RELEASE-e4.7.1a-linux-gtk-x86_64/sts-bundle/sts-3.9.1.RELEASE/STSĪs you can see, both of them are practically identical except for the paths and names. My Eclipse IDE icon is showing but STS isn't, here's a SS showing what I mean: desktop file for each of them, basically just copy-pasting and changing the paths for them.


This question is related to this one: Ubuntu 16.04 Eclipse launcher icon problems, however I have installed Eclipse and STS.
