The window, the Linux launcher and the Windows executable use Tim's application icon. The window has app id `paperdoll-renderer` (equal to `paperdoll-renderer.desktop` and `StartupWMClass`), so KDE and GNOME under Wayland map the window to the launcher and icon; the app runs natively under Wayland and via X11 under X11. Under Wayland the icon only appears once the desktop file is installed (package, or file association from the app).

Under Wayland a program cannot send its own window icon, so the desktop takes the icon from the installed `paperdoll-renderer.desktop`. With the AUR, Arch or Debian package this works out of the box. A binary run without a package (a `cargo build` in `target/release`, the AppImage or an unpacked copy) shows the generic Wayland icon until you run it once with `--install-desktop`. Restart the editor after that.
