Question: Due to the generic `code` name, the Numix team have decide not to use the `code.desktop` icon provided by the VS Code package. 

So it's icon is configured as a common text editor by default.

How to fix it?

Answer: 
Here's a one liner that will achieve what these guys are saying for you. I've aliased this in bash because I have to execute this every FREAKING time vscode updates...

```
sudo sed -i "s/Icon=code/Icon=vscode/g" /usr/share/applications/code.desktop

```
go to :

```
sudo nano /usr/share/applications/code.desktop

```

and change

```
Icon=vscode

```

to

```
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/com.visualstudio.code.png

```
