Numix circle theme - change one Icon

Question

I'm running Ubuntu 15.04 on a Thinkpad T450. I installed numix-circle-theme like that:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:numix/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install numix-icon-theme-circle

and used the unity tweak tool to set the icons to numix circle.

Everything looks real nice except my KiCAD icon. It seems as is should be here (https://github.com/numixproject/numix-icon-theme-circle/issues/179) so I investigated and under /usr/share/icons/Numix-Circle/48x48/apps there is a kicad.svg.

So why is is not showing the new circle icon of KiCAD?

@reversiblean [Desktop Entry] MimeType=text/pro Name=KiCad Exec=kicad Icon=icon_kicad.png Categories=Development;Engineering;Electronics Type=Application Should I change it to kicad? or the other one to icon_kicad? — Domsl, Nov 6 '15 at 8:29

sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/kicad.desktop

Try changing the icon field to just kicad.

You don't need to have their full path specified, but their filename without the extension.

Thank you, this worked. Just had to log out and in again. If I wanted to change the icon with one I designed my own, where would I put it? /usr/share/icons/Numix-Circle/48x48/apps will probably get overwritten when there is an update? – Domsl Nov 6 '15 at 8:43
