[Icon request] How to customize file manager icon? #3374

App Name: Papirus Dark
Icon Name: Files
Description: I love all the icons, but the files icon is not after my choice. If I want to tweak it, will it be too complicated? How to do it? I'd also love to tweak one or two other icons just for my personal use, thanks!

Put your icons with unique names to ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor or in ~/.local/share/icons for single file. Then set the ICON_NAME for APP_NAME.destop using the following command:

desktop-file-install --dir ~/.local/share/applications --set-icon=ICON_NAME /usr/share/applications/APP_NAME.desktop
