Changing icons in lxpanel
you can find icons may places but my fav is google images. mostly they will be jpegs. open them up in gimp and change to png & then layers/transparency/color to alpha. this will get rid of white background.
now open pcmanfm and copy paste this address into address bar
/usr/share/applications
now open as root (in tools)
now right click on any app you want to change icon on and open in leafpad. then find icon and just change address to look like this (this is for blender)
Icon=/home/dove/icons/blender.png
the new address of course is a folder I made for my collected icons. save this and reboot
of course this is as always at your own risk that said I hope this will help
