I have become very restless and irritated while trying to change the icon next to the applications tab on my top panel (I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Desktop).
I've tried multiple methods and have had no luck.
I've used the Ubuntu Tweak option for changing the icon. It didn't work.
I've attempted taking my custom one and changing it in the directory itself but I can't figure out how to change the permissions to allow me to do this.
I've used the terminal to replace the icons but once again i was not given permission.
I've spent hours trying and trying to get this to work and I'm stumped.
Now to note the problem of this only being for a certain theme.
I changed the theme from my custom theme (the one I want to change that icon for) to the Ambiance theme. I opened up Ubuntu Tweak and tried using the simple icon changer button...it worked. I had just d/led updates for it so I switched back to my custom theme to try it and nothing.
I don't know whats wrong. If anyone has any suggestions or know any solutions, please let me know. This isn't a vital problem or anything, it's just been very irritating.
Extra:
The custom theme i'm using is this
Controls: snow-leopard-mac (i don't remember where i d/led this)
Colors: N/A
Window Border: Mac4Lin_GTK_Aqua_v1.0
Icons: Mac4Lin_Icons_v1.0
Pointer: Default
