When I start some 3rd party apps from search bar they show on the dock but with a substitute icon image "ubuntu settings wheel". I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 22.10. They both have the same problems. How can I set this icon?screenshot of dock. These two icons show the same app, how to make them look the same?

It's probably because of the WM Class which you accidentally had specified incorrectly. You might be able to fix it by the method of this post. Here are the complete steps for your convenience:

  1. Open your app
  2. Press Alt + F2 and type lg and hit Enter
  3. Head to the Windows tab, find your app, and write down the corresponding wmclass
  4. Edit your app's .desktop file (residing somewhere like ~.local/share/applications/YOURAPP.desktop): change current StartupWMClass` with the value you extracted in the 3rd step.
  5. Close your app and re-open, ET VOILÀ!
