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.

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.
Ok, thanks.
Seems system-rw only created v1.0 approx ~5 days ago when their account was created, so these are definitely fast moving projects.
Being on leave does give me the time and mental space to really focus and iterate quickly, I suppose. :)
