I added the Places icon to the XFCE panel, but I don't like the "file cabinet" ICON. It's cheesy and doesn't fit with the theme.

Does anyone know where this ICON is coming from? I can't seem to find it in any of the themes:

/usr/share/icons etc.

or the pixmaps

/usr/share/pixmaps

If I can find it, I can rename it and substitute the icon I want...

I am using faenza icon set, but the same icon shows up for the following in Application Icons:

file-manager
system-file-manager
xfce-filemanager

Searching for these shows them in most icon sets.

Why not just use Directory Menu - easy to change icon for that ;)

I tried that first, but it doesn't really give me the directories to which I need easy access.

Figured it out.

The icon is under /usr/share/icons/Faenza

From there, there are various scaled .png's to be found under apps. The icon is called:

system-file-manager.png

I replaced every occurrence in the Faenza directory with the icon I wanted. I'm happy now. O:)
