If I want to add application icons, where should I put them ?

[brjoon1021]

I want new icons for some apps. I downloaded them, but I have no idea which folder to put them in so that they can be selected as an icon for xfce4.

I right click on the existing icon and I have a lot of folders to look in, but few icons that I like. I want to put new icons in those folders. How ?\

Thanks guys.

I struck ctrl+h and absolutely nothing happened. I suppose that there is more to it than that.

Also, Thunar is kind of spartan, perhaps that is why I can't find any location ".icons" ?

So, I am still stumped....

* If you take any icon that you have on your xfce task bar and right click on it. Right click on "properties" and now you will see the icon that is being used. If you click on that icon you will go to a limited number of choices in a dropdown menu. I can't find where those choices are located and it won't let me navigate to somewhere else on the computer to find the icons that I have downloaded. Maybe that explains my dilemma better than my original e_mail did.

ctrl+h is the shortcut key to show hidden folders/files.
you can also select it in thunars menu, i think its under "view".
