Hey!
I am very grateful for Sparky... I do have a question, however. I have put several launchers on the desktop (not the panel), and would like to change the default icon on one of them (The icon is a "page," which I guess is the default for a Wine launched Windows program). I tried right clicking on the icon and selecting "Properties," but when I click on the icon in "Properties" nothing happens. Is it possible to change the icon? If so, how?
Thanks for your patience with me. Have a great day!
Hey herndon, thanks for asking!
basically each entry on the desktop is represented by a desktop file.
I think there used to be a an editor for these files, I suppose it still might exist.
I personally use "midnight commander" but I think for you this is an easy thing to learn.
just use a text editor to edit the correct file in your "Desktop" directory
like https://askubuntu.com/questions/429357/custom-icon-for-desktop-file-not-appearing
basically you will make sure that a line with "Icon" contains an image in the format pcmanfm-qt expects. Beware images with spaces in the filename IIRC.
Thank you! I will give it a try! When I restarted the computer, it brought up the program's own icon, but I think I still want a different one... I am grateful for your willingness to take the time for a "Sparky Newbie."
