How 2 change the start menu icon

Sat Apr 25, 2009 8:53 pm
I have installed kde 4.3 on an old p/c for testing purposes and prefer the 'blue K' menu start button to the suse green icon.

How can I change the icon - to the 'blue k' (on my main p/c) which is using kde 4.2.

Thanks

I think you can just remove $KDEDIR/share/icons/oxygen/scalable/places/start-here-branding.svg (usually /usr/share/....). Of course, it's probably better to move/rename the file rather than just removing it (to keep a backup).

You won't see the change immediately, so you can run [font=Courier]kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental[/font] or log out and in again.

That worked perfectly.
