How to get a shortcut icon from a shortcut












1















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.

    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'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.

  • Now see, that's the problem, I've been in that file but gnome-terminal icon are only in svg and xpm types, when i try to choose a new icon for my shortcut those don't appear. I assum it only takes pngs or smth like that.

  • I don't have all those png ones. It would be great if you could just drop that 48x48, thanks

  • drop? sorry I don't know what you mean. A quick scan of my files show some .png in package elementary-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 in yaru-theme-icon.

    I wondered if that's what you meant - why I added the package names (so you can just grab them yourself). A dpkg -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 is gnome-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.



Terminal



Icon

    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.

    • Now see, that's the problem, I've been in that file but gnome-terminal icon are only in svg and xpm types, when i try to choose a new icon for my shortcut those don't appear. I assum it only takes pngs or smth like that.

    • I don't have all those png ones. It would be great if you could just drop that 48x48, thanks

    • drop? sorry I don't know what you mean. A quick scan of my files show some .png in package elementary-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 in yaru-theme-icon.

      I wondered if that's what you meant - why I added the package names (so you can just grab them yourself). A dpkg -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 is gnome-icon-theme - just install that for that file (and whatever else comes in that package)

    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)

    • Now see, that's the problem, I've been in that file but gnome-terminal icon are only in svg and xpm types, when i try to choose a new icon for my shortcut those don't appear. I assum it only takes pngs or smth like that.

    • drop? sorry I don't know what you mean. A quick scan of my files show some .png in package elementary-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 in yaru-theme-icon.

      I wondered if that's what you meant - why I added the package names (so you can just grab them yourself). A dpkg -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 is gnome-icon-theme - just install that for that file (and whatever else comes in that package)

            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.
