Recently, I wanted to change the Ubuntu startup menu (Applications menu see below for the 9 dot square icon) to a different icon. See where the mouse is hovering in this picture for the specific icon I'm talking about: http://www.fosslinux.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Dash-to-Panel-enabled-desktop-on-Ubuntu-17.10.jpg
At first, my change was successful, however, later on, that area became blank, and although there is a gap between where that icon should be and the "show the desktop" icon and file manager, there is no icon there anymore.
What I have done so far to fix the issue:
I have edited my LightDM GTK+ Greeter settings, both the theme and icon settings in there, but to no avail.
I have navigated to /usr/share/icons, and edited the Adwaita and windows-10-master icons under their respective /scalable/actions/view-app-grid-symbolic.svg and view-grid-symbolic.svg icons with the appropriate .svg file icon I want to no available.
I am currently using the windows-10-master Icons theme (for icons generally) alongside the Adwaita-dark theme as well.
- I also tried editing the gnome-applications-panel.desktop file with the appropriate path (see below):
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Applications
Comment=Control various application permissions and settings
Exec=gnome-control-center applications
Icon=/usr/share/icons/windows-10-white--1.svg
Terminal=false
Type=Application
NoDisplay=false
StartupNotify=true
Categories=GNOME;GTK;Settings;DesktopSettings;X-GNOME-Settings-Panel;X-GNOME-AccountSettings;
OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity;
Keywords=application;flatpak;permission;setting;
X-GNOME-ControlCenter-HasSidebar=true
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gnome-control-center-2.0
So I'm kind of at my wits' end here. Not sure what more to do.
