Changing the Kmenu icon.


Okay, this is becoming a bit annoying. I've looked through all kinds of directories on my filesystem and I did a search for kmenu, but I can not seem to find where the Kmenu icon is located so I can change it.

The kmenu icon is usually determined by the icon theme you are using. If you are not happy with the one in the icon theme you are using then got to ~/.kde/share/icons/nameOfIconTheme/Size/Applications and rename kmenu.png to something like kmenu.png.orig. Copy the one you want to that directory and name it kmenu.png.

Thanks for the responses, but all I have in ~/.kde/share/icons is five or six char's. Also, I do not have any icon themes in /usr/share/icons.

/opt/kde3/share/icons in Suse. ~/.kde/share/icons if for themes you installed on your own.

Okay, that got me to the right place. The only problem I have now is that the icon gets squashed into a little square. Is there a way to resize it so I can get it to be the right size?

What kind of icon is it. If its a normal png icon, then it should not be squashed at all. If its a kbfx button, then you need to install the kbfx applet first.

Yeah, I feel sort of stupid now. It was a kbfx button. I didn't realize that kbfx was some special piece of software. I have it all sorted out now. Thanks.
