I have a Java applications which I use frequently, and for which I have placed hard links on the Desktop, to make them easier to start. The icons are generic, and therefore confusin, and I would like to replace them a recognizable images. I have such images in png and other formats, but it is not clear to me how to assign them to the applications. Howcan I do this?
Right click on the desktop icon and select properties. Then click on the icon picture to change it.
Something may be missing from the above.
I click MB2 (i.e. "Right-click" for right-handed people) on the generic icon, and choose Properties in the menu that appears. I leave this window on its General page. I then click on the png file -- which opens the png file in Gwenview, but does nothing else. Have I misunderstood something?
i believe he meant for you to click on the icon picture in the properties window of the desktop icon

I've tried that too, clicking on the icon picture after choosing Properties, then clicking on the png file.
Clicking on the png file knows only one trick, which is opening Gwenview.
Strange. When I click on icon, I'm getting the dialog box "Select Icon". There I can select any png file (single click) and after pressing "OK" this image replaces previous icon. Alternatively, as Vojtěch wrote, you can find ".desktop" file for your application (in your $HOME/Desktop directory) and edit "Icon" line there changing it to full path to your image.
