At the top left where the applications menu is. Does anyone know how to change that icon? I am using the numix circle theme and it gives me what looks like 4 red wings start here icon. I would like to change it.
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you
Hi !
"Mate menu" can be change as the picture show bellow, but i am not sure for the defaut menu.
Witch one are you using ? Could you give a picture of the desktop ?
In case > right clik next to the menu > preference > load icon you like (must be about 28 x 28 pixels size)
I was speaking about the default menu that it comes with out the box. Although I might just think about switching over to the mate menu instead, if there is no easy way to do this. I have done some research and I cannot find anything that will help me on this topic. So that is why I posted here.
I use the old icon, I've found it in an old release of Numix theme in GitHub. Perhaps this helps:
Regards.
I did try this but does not work for me.
With working with this for a little bit. I believed I figured it out. I used dconf editor and pointed it to the image I wanted to use. You can see in the image below. I will write up a tutorial on what i did.
good play !!
I tried, without succes, looks like icons cannot load properly …
in dconf I went to /org/mate/panel/menubar and on icon-name switched it to the icon name I wanted.
did you have to type the path?
No i did not type the path. I just specified the icon name without any file extension on it.
Excellent, just tried that myself with another png file in there (start-here-gnome) and it worked like a treat!
I am using faenza-dark icons and so the place where the icons are is:
/usr/share/icons/matefaenzadark/places/24
So, I could put any icon in there and presumably call it up from dconf.
nice work.
That is correct, It took me some time to figure this out.
Or it was possible to set it by the icon theme, whether it’s locally in your home folder or system-wide.
The path for the image is:
/..../<image folder>/apps/22/start-here.svgI have not tried that.
Also I was looking for a solution to this problem, when you change a theme or icon, I can not change the icon of the menu.
Thanks for the help.
