A small tool for KDE Plasma (and other freedesktop desktops) that lets you easily customize single app icons:

  • Use your own images or library
  • Copy icon from another app
  • Pick one icon from any installed theme (without switching global theme)
  • Built-in pixel editor to create your own
  • Batch apply, undo, overrides, missing icons overview
  • Import image to turn it into an icon

    Thanks for sharing this, but I’m confused by the title - users can already change app icons using the KDE Menu Editor without needing be root either? The Github page makes clear this is a per user tool too, not system wide.

    I’m assuming the USP is actually the list in your post rather than not needing to be root? That list does sound convenient to have in one focused app. The root bit seems to be irrelevant unless I’m missing something?
