I recently installed the Chromium-webbrowser under Linux-Mint 18 with the apt-package manager.Later I downloaded a 64bit Chromium-build for linux in a .zip-file. After I executed the containing binary chrome, I recognized that the tray-icon is exactly the same icon used by my current theme for Chromium. So I tried to change the icon with the following .desktop-file:[Desktop Entry]Type=ApplicationName=ChromeExec=MY/LOCAL/PATH/chromeIcon=MY/LOCAL/PATH/testIcon.pngTerminal=falseThe icon of the .desktop-file changed, but as I started the application I noticed that the tray-icon from the theme is used, instead of my desired icon.How can this be? When I usually start a downloaded executable file a default-icon from the installed theme is used. How does the icon for the binary get found?How can I use a custom tray-icon for my downloaded binary?Thank you!
How does Gnome (Cinnamon) find the icon for an executable binary?
