Can you change your icon line in order not the use a hardcoded link.
Icon=/opt/franz/franz-icon.png
to
Icon=franz
Icon themes like Moka, Numix, Sardi and Surfn will use their own icon. If using a hardcoded link, the icon theme gets broken.
Thanks in advance. The system will provide an icon if you put it in /usr/share/icons/hicolor.
