Right now I'm using the Arc theme (https://github.com/horst3180/Arc-theme) and the Tela icons (https://github.com/vinceliuice/Tela-icon-theme).
For some of the applications in my plank dock (e.g. LMMS, https://lmms.io) there is no icon in the Tela icon set, so instead of a round LMMS icon, there is a square one.
So I'm wondering, how does Linux Mint select the icons used in, for example, Plank?
I've looked in to many folders to find the LMMS icon being used and think I found it in
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/lmms.svg
. However, I found the desktop launcher for LMMS in /usr/share/applications/lmms.desktop
which seems to have the same icon as in the Whisker menu.The file looks as follows
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Name=LMMS
GenericName=Music production suite
GenericName[ca]=Programari de producció musical
GenericName[de]=Software zur Musik-Produktion
GenericName[fr]=Suite de production musicale
Comment=Music sequencer and synthesizer
Comment[ca]=Producció fàcil de música per a tothom!
Comment[fr]=Séquenceur et synthétiseur de musique
Icon=lmms
Exec=lmms %f
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Qt;AudioVideo;Audio;Midi;
MimeType=application/x-lmms-project;
And instead of modifying the
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/lmms.svg
file, I'd like to know if I could "override" this behaviour and, for example, add a new icon in ~/.icons
and have my system use this one instead? Because I probably will not be able to find the icons that my system uses each and everytime I'd like to modify it.I also tried to add a new, modified icon at the folder in which the Tela icons are stored (
.local/share/icons/Tela-circle/scalable/apps/
), but that didn't change the icon in my Plank dock and after logging off and back on again, my dock just wouldn't start.Hopefully I'm making some sense.
Thank you all!
