How to change desktop icons in FocalFossa 20.04? (Solved)

Post by soniabu »

Hello everybody.
In Bionicpup64 there is a useful function that allows you to change the icon so as to distinguish, for example, the folders with various colors: with the right button you open a box where you can change the icon by dragging it into a specific space and that's it.
In FocalFossa 20.04 this function doesn't exist, right?
thx sonia

Hi Sonia, it's a feature of "rox" file-manager , pcmanfm (default file-manager in FossaDog) doesn't have that.
Rox is installed, btw, so it can be used but I forgot to add to the Menu, put attached rox.desktop file in /usr/share/appications (remove fake .gz extension first) and "Rox Filer" will show in Menu > Accessories.
