How to change the default terminal icon












0















I know it seems like a duplicate but I can't find anything especially related to terminal icon.



What I tried so far:




  1. Modifying /usr/share/applications/gnome-terminal.desktop icon no changing


  2. I copied this file to ~/.local/share/applications hence created a new app in the menu => old terminal disappears new icon is there BUT when clicked terminal opens and appears with it's old icon in the dock


  3. I replaced every terminal icon I found in the themes but here again no changes


  4. Also replaced the utilities-terminal.svg in humanity theme also no help



The fun part is that when I am trying to add my terminal from the application menu to the dock (add to favs) it adds BOTH applications to the dock.



Really really strange I have no idea why. I am out of ideas now.
