Share Your Desktop [2025]

If /pixmaps folder not working for you.

Try add the .svg logo into ~/.local/share/icons/your-icon-theme/apps

After that, run the following commands:
rm -rf ~/.cache/icon-cache.kcache
rm -rf ~/.cache/plasma*
killall plasmashell && kstart plasmashell

Sorry for the late reply @UncleSpellbinder

Edit:
I can confirm that the /.local/share/pixmaps folder only works with .png files.

If the system settings cannot locate endeavouros.png in /.local/share/pixmaps , it will retrieve the file from /usr/share/pixmaps .

No worries. I’ll give it a shot in the morning. THANKS!

UncleSpellbinder · June 22, 2025, 2:38pm

Yeah, this is odd. I did all of the above, rebooted, and nothing changed. Even more bizarre, it seems the EOS Logo in a white circle image currently displayed in “About This System” isn’t in either folder.

Take a look at your users image. You can change it there

EDIT: Avatars located in /usr/share/plasma/avatars/

UncleSpellbinder · June 22, 2025, 2:52pm

I already have a custom image for that.

Finally got Lxqt running on Wayland!

@joekamprad It did not take as long as I thought to come around to Wayland.

swh · June 22, 2025, 2:58pm

Oh Sorry. You want to change the icon in systemsettings.
It is located in usr/share/pixmaps

UncleSpellbinder · June 22, 2025, 3:01pm

Yes, I know. Still doesn’t work. See here.

swh · June 22, 2025, 3:26pm

I have located one .png into ~/.local/share/pixmaps
Just a try. I changed my icons to Breeze and voila, don’t know why it doesn’t work with papirus. Maybe you have to change something in the used icon theme.

UncleSpellbinder · June 22, 2025, 3:37pm

Yep. Only working with Breeze icons for me. I’ve never been a Breeze icon fan. The first thing I do on a fresh EOS install I install Kora icons so I can change from Breeze. Oh well, no big deal. Thanks for the heads-up!

thefrog · June 22, 2025, 3:43pm

you should be able to place the icon in the apps/scalable folder of the icon set and have it work.
/.local/share/icons/kora/scalable/apps?

UncleSpellbinder · June 22, 2025, 3:44pm

Just tried with another icon set. Works with Slot Icons…

swh · June 22, 2025, 3:44pm

Yeah, but you got that nice little Dolphin now in 6.4

UncleSpellbinder · June 22, 2025, 3:46pm

Slot Icons added the Dolphin, too.

swh · June 22, 2025, 3:52pm

Got it

and a transparent monochronme icon

fog · June 22, 2025, 4:22pm

Papirus is a complete (almost) theme, with distributor-logo icons etc. The default order for this icon is: icon theme > local pixmaps > global pixmaps.

So for the Papirus theme (there is some shortcuts etc) the icon for the about system settings is this one: ~/.local/share/icons/Papirus/64x64/apps/distributor-logo-endeavouros.svg.

I made a shortcut to my pixmaps to test it, BUT someone can rename the original distributor-logo-endeavouros.svg to blabla.back and use there the svg he/she wants with the name distributor-logo-endeavouros.svg

(The icon theme for the test in screenshot is Papirus)

swh · June 22, 2025, 4:29pm

Thanks for clarification. I don’t have much of an idea how to edit icon packs, but I’m getting closer and closer to the mystery

fog · June 22, 2025, 4:41pm

Between us… it’s a rabbit hole but let’s call it mystery, it’s more mysterious

Well helloooo Gruvbox my old friend. I’d forgotten how easy on the eye the Gruvbox palette is.
Wallpaper made by me and inspired by countless Gruvbox wallpapers out there on the interweb.
Tabliss on Firefox (transparent effect achieved by adding the desktop wallpaper as a custom background and blurring it).
Fastfetch logo because I’m addicted to Cyberpunk 2077.
Gruvbox Dark Kitty theme on Github
Top taskbar tweaked with Panel Colorizer

Peace and Love
