All my icons are nice-looking, thanks to the elementary os theme. however, firefox icon is the default icon and not changed.
I have installed ElementaryPlus theme to add additional icons but firefox was not included.
Anyone have tried changing firefox icon? is there a way to change it?
OS: Elementery OS Loki 0.4.1
You can edit the default firefox.desktop file:
First open terminal and copy the original one:
cp /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
Now edit the copy ~/.local/share/applications/firefox.desktop with your favorite editor.
You need to adjust the line containing
Icon=firefox
to
Icon=/PATH/TO/YOUR/ICON
Mostly icons are stored under /usr/share/icons/... Probably you will find your desired icon there.
I found a theme called Elementary-Add theme which has a lot of Elementary-Styled icons including firefox.
I copied firefox 48px icon from that theme and added it to Elementary Plus theme folder which I've already installed.
ElemetaryPlus folder:
/usr/share/icons/elementaryPlus/Apps/48
Then turned Elementary+ Configurator on and off. Icon changed!
