Customize Application Menu Icon

[chetinho10]

Good afternoon

I want to customize the app menu icon, but when I do, the icon I changed it to looks completely blank, is this normal?

If you are using Gnome 46 and Ubuntu 24.04, here we go:-

Place the icon you wish to use in /usr/share/icons (sudo privileges required)
Then you have to find and select the application where you wish to change the icon
Example herewith for GIMP
I downloaded an icon from the internet and renamed it as gimp.png
Then, I moved gimp.png to usr/share/icons
Navigate via terminal to /usr/share/applications

cd /usr/share/applications

sudo nano gimp.desktop

Navigate to the line Icon=gimp
Change to Icon=/usr/share/icons/gimp.png
Ctrl O to save
Ctrl X to exit
Log out and log in

Good afternoon

I don't want to change the application icon, I try to change the show applications icon (9 points), I managed to change it but it comes out blank.

I remember that in previous versions of Ubuntu you could change it and it would come out with color.

Apologies - I misunderstood.

Dash to Panel (gnome extension) has a setting for changing the "Show Applications" icon
