why chrome web app shortcuts has no Icon
I am creating web app shortcut from chrome to desktop by clicking on more tools > create shortcut.
But it has random name and no icon as clear in the screenshot
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Terminal=false
Type=Application

Exec=/usr/bin/chromium-browser --profile-directory=Default --app-id=adnlfjpnmidfimlkaohpidplnoimahfh
Icon=chrome-adnlfjpnmidfimlkaohpidplnoimahfh-Default
StartupWMClass=crx_adnlfjpnmidfimlkaohpidplnoimahfh
The icon presists on :

That is happening because your desktop icon is not able to find appropriate icon location.
Just replace your line in the file
Icon=chrome-adnlfjpnmidfimlkaohpidplnoimahfh-Default
with the location of icon, like:
Icon=/home/idea/.local/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/chrome-adnlfjpnmidfimlkaohpidplnoimahfh-Default.png
Save the file, and Youtube icon as well as the name should come up once you double click on it and try launching it.
Signing out and signing in can help, in case the icon fails to load after launching it as well.
PS: In case the icon isn't displayed properly, please try other folders with dimension 48x48 or 128x128 instead of 32x32 in the above path as you can see in the result of your locate command.
That's an intended mechanism. If you only declare the icon name, the system will look for the file in the appropriate folder, depending on the size that is needed.
