Someone else today said to MB2 (left-handed people don't talk about "right click") the existing icon to do this. But that leads to the properties of the underlying file, not of the icon. In the past few days I have been looking for ways to edit icons, but haven't found anything. Where are the properties of the icon?
The answer lies in my original response. Desktop icons are represented by text files whose names end in ".desktop" in each users ~/Desktop directory. In these files is the path name to the icon file. You can use that path name to find or open the icon file in order to produce a variant using one of the various image editing programs.
What, if anything, must I do to convert Windows or OS/2 icons for use in the Llinux desktop?
IIRC, Linux uses PNG format for icons. I don't know about others. So, you'll have to convert to PNG, if Linux doesn't support what you've got.
Again, my response listed the acceptable types: PNG, JPEG, GIF, XPM, SVG and .ico. There may be even more, but these will work.
