Bleachbit is a really useful application and I use it daily. However, its icon is not the best, so I would like to change it. I really don't want to download a new icon theme, I'm happy with the default, I just want to change Bleachbit's icon. I've got the Faenza Bleachbit icon, that is what I'd like to use as a replacement.

How can I do this?

I'm just a user but I'm happy with terminal commands.

You can do the following:

  1. Unlock the Bleachbit application for your unity launcher
  2. Type in the terminal sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/bleachbit.desktop
  3. Search for the label "Icon" (at the end of the file)

enter image description here

Edit the field to add the path to your new icon and save it.

eg: Icon=/home/my/new/icon.png

Then launch the application en lock it to the launcher with the new Icon.

Regards.

  • Thanks! I also changed the icon for Bleachbit (as root) by gksu gedit /usr/share/applications/bleachbit-root.desktop Jan 20, 2013 at 22:45

If you are using a version older than BleachBit version 0.9.3, then upgrading to version 0.9.3 or later will give you a new application icon.
