Extracting Desktop Icon

Prerequisites

Install the tools to extract .ico files from Furcadia.exe and convert them to .png

sudo dnf install icotools imagemagick
sudo apt install icoutils imagemagick

Extraction

cd ~/Furcadia

# Extract all available .ico files from Furcadia.exe into icons/
mkdir icons
wrestool -x -t 14 Furcadia.exe -o icons/

# Convert primary icon into .png format (.ico IS NOT supported)
convert Furcadia.exe_14_108_2048.ico Furcadia.png

• This will produce multiple .png files with different resolutions/qualities!
• Pick the best looking one, rename it to Furcadia.png and leave it that way

Update Icon Cache

Given the Desktop Entry file above, if the icon hasn't updated, you can run the following:

gtk-update-icon-cache ~/.local/share/icons
