I made a small tool for KDE Plasma (and other freedesktop desktops) that lets you easily customize single app icons:

  • Use your own images or library
  • Copy icon from another app
  • Pick one icon from any installed theme (without switching global theme)
  • Built-in pixel editor to create your own
  • Batch apply, undo, overrides, missing icons overview
  • Import image to turn it into an icon

Completely user-level, safe, and reversible. No manual .desktop editing.

AUR: kappicon or kappicon-git

Why start at version 3.0?

Which appears to have been only uploaded a few hours ago...

To a repo created by system-rw which joined github a few days ago...

Interested in the back story for this.

    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.
