kAppIcon: Change individual Linux app launcher icons without root

Reply in thread

But this does more than that. Not only do you not have to deal with paths, it instantly shows you any icon from any theme installed, You can also opt for creating your own icon on a canvas, or import an image 'jpg, webm, png' and have it made into an icon. You can choose the shape of your icon (round, rounded corners, square). Heck, you can even import a picture with multiple icons and zoom/center the one you want. Sure, all of it is possible manually, but this tool makes it very easy, and creates backups where you can easily revert.

kAppIcon: Change individual Linux app launcher icons without root

Reply in thread

It is a continuation of the work started by system-rw, who was the initiator for creating macosicons-linux. His use was to apply (mac) icon sets in batch, downloaded from some website. His software was on version 2.0, so when I forked it and modified the program to do many other things, it became version 3.0. I liked the idea of easily changing icons in a way that is user friendly, but I found that system-rw's solution was too narrow and focused for only one specific goal. I broadened it to be a comprehensive icon editor / replacer. I did upload it a few hours ago, indeed, and that is why I am trying to get people to be aware of the app.. It's because I feel it could be a useful tool for opendesktop users.
