I wanted to use Whatsapp Web but since there's no PWA app or a native app written for Ubuntu… I had a really good idea, it's like electron apps.
Just use Chrome for a shortcut, so I did.
The problem is that the icon is really annoying, and I wanted to change it, so the Unity Dash will be as fine as I want.
Translated: Chrome menu -> More tools -> Add to desktop…
The thing is… I searched a lot and I can't tell where chrome puts that .desktop files.. because Unity Dash recognizes it!
So I looked for it in /usr/share/applications
and ~/.local/share/applications
and it's not there!
I just want to edit that .desktop file, please help.

Chrome creates two .desktop files, one on the desktop (in
~/Desktop
) and another in~/.local/share/applications
. The latter is shown in the Dash. To find it, runE.g. mine was called
chrome-hnpfjngllnobngcgfapefoaidbinmjnm-Default.desktop
. I was able to edit theIcon
field and have it take effect in the Dash.
