Hey, I would like to work on this where do I start? which file do I edit? |

Hi @skattel49 - I'm not sure how much can really be done to change this behaviour. In order for the icons to be displayed the desktop shortcuts must be marked as trusted, which currently happens in: This script is run every time a new network connection is started. The trusted flag does not persist across Tails reboots, which is why the icons only update once the script runs. There are some more notes on the behaviour in earlier versions of Tails here: #2586 If you are familiar with Ansible, Tails, or Gnome Desktop, this may indeed be a good first issue, but if not then one of the issues tweaking the interface UX may be a better choice. |

Description
When you log onto your Tails Admin Workstation that already has had SecureDrop installed, you will see Desktop shortcuts for the Source and Journalist interfaces. Until you're connected to Tor, these Desktop shortcuts show an icon image of something other than the SecureDrop logo and the names of the icons do not show up as "SecureDrop Source Interface" or "SecureDrop Journalist Interface."
Steps to Reproduce
Expected Behavior
To see the Desktop shortcuts display the SecureDrop icon and for the name of the source interface shortcut to be "SecureDrop Source Interface" and the journalist interface shortcut to be "SecureDrop Journalist Interface."
Actual Behavior
The desktop shortcuts display an image of a piece of paper with lines on it and the source interface shortcut is named "source.desktop" and journalist interface shortcut is named "journalist.desktop."
