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.

kAppIcon is a small icon manager for KDE Plasma and other freedesktop desktops.

According to the Readme, yes.

I didn't look too deeply, but I assume it modifies .desktop files stored in $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications/ and/or copies system.desktop files there to override them with modified versions.

If it works like I assume, it should work with anything that reads .desktop files from the standard locations.
