Hello
I've got this theme obsession going on for me . I'm trying to change the icons of running applications that are seen on taskbar and alt-tab menu , specifically chromium browser. I managed to do so with firefox 's icon by changing /usr/share/pixmaps and /usr/lib/firefox/chrome/default/icons .

But for chromium I was unable to find any icon beside the one in /usr/share/pixmaps and even though i changed that icon and rebooted everything the icon still doesn't change. I even did a search on the machine for chromium-browser and changed any png file that i saw of that name but was unsuccessful .
Is there any other place that i should look for that might contain the icon file for chromium ?
I tried searching through the forums but my search is rather common and i get overwhelmed trying to find through the normal icon change posts.
I would be very happy if someone could help thanks in advance.

I'll bump this because I'm trying to figure out a way to replace that damned low-resolution chromium icon in docky to something that scales well ( http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=9995 ) but I guess it's to the same end... anyone?
