How to change the default terminal icon
I know it seems like a duplicate but I can't find anything especially related to terminal icon.
What I tried so far:
Modifying /usr/share/applications/gnome-terminal.desktop icon no changing
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
I replaced every terminal icon I found in the themes but here again no changes
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.
