Finally figured out how to change an icon made through Wine, which allows a Microsoft Windows application work in a Linux distribution (Pop!OS22.04). Unfortunately Wine uses the exact 27-year old Windows ugly icon that comes with the original program converted for use in Linux Pop!OS 22.04. Something I've been able to do in Linux Mint, but not in Pop!OS until now.
The original icon is "48A7_Photoshp.0". The icon I wanted it to become is named "alexandra".
Once I was able to locate the "desktop" file for Photoshop used through Wine, I simply substituted the new name for the old one. That's all it took for the Wine applications to all look like all the other icons in the interface.
(The desktop file is within the hidden "Wine" folder in the "Home" directory.)
Desktop Entry]
Name=Photoshop 5.5
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/compuser/.wine" wine-stable C:\\\\windows\\\\command\\\\start.exe /Unix /home/compuser/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/compuser/Start\\ Menu/Programs/Adobe/Photoshop\\ 5.5/Adobe\\ Photoshop\\ 5.5.lnk
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Path=/home/compuser/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Photoshop 5.5
Icon=alexandra
StartupWMClass=photoshp.exe
In essence, Linux allows you to change anything you want provided you can figure out how.
OK, you can wake up now. Some folks do crossword or jigsaw puzzles. This is what I do.
