I just installed and changed to a new theme, download the appropriate application style, and changed the icon set from what came with the global theme to NoManSky. The issue is that it looks like I have a icon set for everything excep[t for .m3u. I honestly have no idea where to look to change the icon associated with particular file types. Help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Right click the file, select properties, click file type options. Click the icon:

Thanks for that. I actually remembered to go to file associations in settings, but now I know of two ways to get to it. Thanks again.

Looks like with the updates yesterday KDE fix certain icons not appearing. After a reboot today and after noticing I’m missing a ton a app shortcut icons I did notice that the .m3u icon was finally the one that comes with the current icon theme I’m running. Looks like in the process of fix that they broke something else.

This morning I did a reboot and when I landed on the desktop I noticed a lot of the icons for my shortcuts in Dolphin are missing. As for the missing app icons I’ve gone to properties for a couple, clicked to change the icon, chose browse, browsed to and chose the app’s icon, and it still does not add it’s icon back. Top screenshot I just made. The bottom is one I posted in the desktop thread awhile back. You can see …
