Windows Terminal shows Tux logo instead of Ubuntu logo #11832

@maximousblk commented on GitHub (Dec 17, 2020):

Ah that makes sense

You have to add them yourselves. [...] - @itsme-alan

How tho? "source": "Windows.Terminal.Wsl" is not specific to Ubuntu. Wouldn't it add the same icon to all the distros? I see it in the documentation. screenshot so I assume it is possible to customize individual WSL distro profiles (?), but I couldn't find a "how to" in the docs

Nah, each distro will get it's own profile. The source field is just a property indicating that this setting came from the "WSL dynamic profile generator". So you can modify the Ubuntu profile all you want, and it'll only affect that version of Ubuntu.

See the docs on setting an icon here.

For example, my 20.04 profile looks like:

{
    "guid": "{07b52e3e-de2c-5db4-bd2d-ba144ed6c273}",
    "hidden": false,
    "name": "Ubuntu-20.04",
    "source": "Windows.Terminal.Wsl",

    "startingDirectory" : "\\\\wsl$\\Ubuntu-20.04\\home\\zadjii",
    "background" : "#2C001E",
    "tabColor" : "#2C001E",
    "acrylicOpacity" : 0.9,
    "closeOnExit" : true,
    "colorScheme" : "Tango Dark",
    "cursorColor" : "#FFAF00",
    "cursorShape" : "emptyBox",
    "fontFace" : "Ubuntu Mono",
    "fontSize" : 12,
    "historySize" : 9001,
    "icon" : "C:\\Users\\migrie\\Downloads\\shell-icons\\ubuntu-icon.png",

    "antialiasingMode": "grayscale",
    "backgroundImage": "C:\\Users\\migrie\\Downloads\\Focal-Fossa_Plain_WP_1920x1080.png",
    "backgroundImageStretchMode": "none",
    "backgroundImageOpacity": 0.55,
}

If you want to use the official icons, you should copy paste this in place: (3 examples, Ubuntu, Debian and kali-linux)

    {
            "guid": "{58ad8b0c-3ef8-5f4d-bc6f-13e4c00f2530}",
            "hidden": false,
            "icon": "https://www.debian.org/favicon.ico",
            "name": "Debian",
            "source": "Windows.Terminal.Wsl"
        },
        {
            "guid": "{07b52e3e-de2c-5db4-bd2d-ba144ed6c273}",
            "hidden": false,
            "icon": "https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/49a1a858-favicon-32x32.png",

            "name": "kali-linux",
            "source": "Windows.Terminal.Wsl"
        }

**Consider this like an option to get better contrast in explorer when you are using a dark theme on Windows: (in this example, in the case of kali-linux), replace
"icon": "https://www.kali.org/images/favicon.png",
whith
"icon": "https://www.kali.org/images/favicon-dark.png",

You have to add them yourselves. Microsoft can't use the Ubuntu logo to ship it directly with the Terminal I believe

How did you install arch Linux?

Anyway, isn't there a place in Windows where the Ubuntu logo can be found instead of downloading it remotely? I think it comes with the appx.

Yes, you can add it like this:

Hm... that works. Unfortunately, the path changes every time it gets updated from the Windows Store.

I still think Windows Terminal should find the icon by itself, by looking at the executable for the installed distribution.
