FreeCad Logo for Appimage Desktop Launcher

Post by Laurie Hartley »

I am in the process of setting up a new laptop and have download the appimage. I created a symbolic link for my desktop. How do I change the icon to show the FreeCad logo. I have done this previously but I can't remember how I did it. Can anyone help please.

Not sure if talking apples to apples but on my Ubuntu I right click on the Launcher and properties. Click on the Icon Button and browse to where you have logo.

I found the answer to this conundrum in a YouTube video by Dolphin one of the MX Linux developers.
