Describe the bug
I installed the deb package - but the icon of the app is not shown correctly in dash and also not in app overview.

To Reproduce
Install the debian package - check for the icon in app overview / dash (when launched)

Expected behavior
Icon is correctly shown in both places

Screenshots

Environment

OS: debian
Version: trixie
gnome wayland desktop

Additional context
I played around a little and found a solution locally on my system:
I converted the icon (512x512.png) to "psst.svg" (scalable) with incscape (i attach it here).

Then I modified the desktop file:
sudo cat /usr/share/applications/psst.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Psst
GenericName=Music Player
Icon=psst
TryExec=psst-gui
Exec=psst-gui %U
Terminal=false
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/psst;
Categories=Audio;Music;Player;AudioVideo;
StartupWMClass=psst-gui

With this 2 changes the icon is now shown in both places.

Thanks for this great app.
