How to get a shortcut icon from a shortcut
I'm trying to create a shortcut that opens the terminal by the following command
gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new ~/Desktop
and would like to use the terminal icon for sake of clearance.
Where can I find it (the icon)?
Using ubuntu 18.04.
I do not want to create a shortcut (already did that), just need the icon.
icons gnome-terminal .desktop

It would be easier if you provided your release of Ubuntu. Icons are usually found in /usr/share/icons/, but some I prefer can be found in /usr/share/pixmaps/ - it depends which you're exactly you're looking for. Do you want the icon? or how to create a link (shortcut)?

Terminal icon is a standard application icon with the name utilities-terminal
. You can use this name in your .desktop
launcher (i.e. the shortcut you created) and then it would always assume the terminal icon provided by your icon theme.
Open the the .desktop
shortcut you created using a text editor and look for the Icon=
line. Change it to
Icon=utilities-terminal
I changed that, but the old placeholder icon that I had stayed, do i need to reboot or somthing?

I'm still not 100% sure what you want, nor your release of Ubuntu (which I'd use as a guide to work out exactly what you want), but most icons are stored in /usr/share/icons/
If you perform
cd /usr/share/icons
find -name gnome-term*
you'll be presented with a list of icons that start with "gnome-terminal" in all themes for your system (which vary on release of Ubuntu, if you've added any extra themes etc). I'm hoping whatever you want is there. (my 19.04 system produced 91 results for this find, many of which are just different sized icons)
eg.

I don't have all those png ones. It would be great if you could just drop that 48x48, thanks
– Joao Oliveira
Feb 14 at 11:35
drop? sorry I don't know what you mean. A quick scan of my files show some .png in packageelementary-xfce-icon-theme
&elementary-icon-theme
(I have XFCE desktop added to my system, along with LXQt). The YARU theme I think was added in 18.10 and is inyaru-theme-icon
.

I wondered if that's what you meant - why I added the package names (so you can just grab them yourself). Adpkg -S /usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/apps/gnome-terminal.png
reveals gnome-icon-theme: /usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/apps/gnome-terminal.png (ie. I asked my system where that file comes from - package isgnome-icon-theme
- just install that for that file (and whatever else comes in that package)

The command in 18.04 is
gnome-terminal
the icon appears automatically.
add a comment |
On Ubuntu 18.04 the terminal.desktop is in the /usr/share/applications folder
If you open the .desktop file you can see the "Icon=utilities-terminal" entry which refers to the terminal icon. If you change your created .desktop file to "Icon=system-software-update" it will change to the updater icon for instance.
yes I see the terminal app there, but how can i "see" where the icon for the terminal app is?

I'm still not 100% sure what you want, nor your release of Ubuntu (which I'd use as a guide to work out exactly what you want), but most icons are stored in /usr/share/icons/
If you perform
cd /usr/share/icons
find -name gnome-term*
you'll be presented with a list of icons that start with "gnome-terminal" in all themes for your system (which vary on release of Ubuntu, if you've added any extra themes etc). I'm hoping whatever you want is there. (my 19.04 system produced 91 results for this find, many of which are just different sized icons)
eg.
guiverc@d960-ubu2:/usr/share/icons$ find -name gnome-term*

On Ubuntu 18.04 the terminal.desktop is in the /usr/share/applications folder
If you open the .desktop file you can see the "Icon=utilities-terminal" entry which refers to the terminal icon. If you change your created .desktop file to "Icon=system-software-update" it will change to the updater icon for instance.
yes I see the terminal app there, but how can i "see" where the icon for the terminal app is?

On Ubuntu 18.04 the terminal.desktop is in the /usr/share/applications folder
If you open the .desktop file you can see the "Icon=utilities-terminal" entry which refers to the terminal icon. If you change your created .desktop file to "Icon=system-software-update" it will change to the updater icon for instance.

It would be easier if you provided your release of Ubuntu. Icons are usually found in /usr/share/icons/, but some I prefer can be found in /usr/share/pixmaps/ - it depends which you're exactly you're looking for. Do you want the icon? or how to create a link (shortcut)?
