Hopefully I can get some direction here.
I’'m running EndeavourOS, which is an arch based distro for any not familiar with it.
Been using Joplin for a while, and Recently started adding Icons to my Notebook Titles like so:
the icons I’m talking about
This works fine, but only with the Flatpack version of the App.
Please bear with me at this point. With the Appimage version, and the version(s) in the AUR, these Icons seem to not work for me. They show up as blank, sort of like the old Broke-image placeholders in a browser. I have no clue why.
proper theme but no icons in Appimage version
This didn’t bother me much, simple solution, just keep using the flatpack. But just recently the flatpack version updated and broke my theme.
With the theme set to Dracula, the menu bar and some other elements are white and look fairly out of place:
Icons, but Broken Theme in Flatpak version
So now, if possible, I’d like to either: a) fix the theme on the flatpack version b) get the icons to show up properly on any of the other versions.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Unfortunately I don’t know much about Linux desktop in general, so I wouldn’t know what to advise in terms of fonts, but hopefully someone else can chip in. You might want to ask in Linux-specific forums since it’s probably not specific to Joplin
It does seem specific to Joplin though, as I’m fully capable of displaying emoticons/emoji/etc in any other program.
Tried asking over on the reddit Joplin forum, and had no response, info said it had moved here, but I’m only seeing like 20 some subscribers.
I appreciate the help you’ve given so far, but from everything I know about Linux, I’ve been using it for ht better part of a decade, though I’m not an expert, this does seem to be Joplin specific, and I’m not sure where else to find help :(
Just in case, did you try this? https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/8719#issuecomment-1691906765
Thank you! I had not tried that, thanks for pointing me to it.
Top toolbar looks fine now, still now Joy on the icons in non-flatpak versions (any of them)
I even switched my system font to a nerd-font patched one, so guaranteed it has all the emoji/icon/bits you could ever want, but still they won’t show up :(
It’s a silly little nitpicky thing, because it doesn’t affect the functioning of the program at all, it just sort of bugs me that I can’t figure it out.
