Lutris is unable to create Desktop Shortscuts with Icons (infosec.pub)

So i run most if not all of my GOG and Itch Games via Lutris which i am quite happy with :D
But sadly i just get the "Stock" Executeable Icon instead of the Games Icon :(
Also yes due to the my Icon Theme Set it does look different but eitherway is that not the Correct Icon for the Game :(
Is there a better Way than downloading and changing the Icon for each Game manually? :(

I'm not a fan of electron either but the sad truth of the matter is that I could not get Lutris to do what Heroic did do for me without issue. Lutris might need more developers to integrate icoutils in a way which could help you and others, but it doesn't seem like anyone is in a hurry to code that together right now.

You could write a bash script to do the actions you're now doing manually? Bash is not too difficult to learn. Most of the syntax is human-readable and there are plenty of resources to go around to help you learn the basics.
