Perfect Finishing Touch on KDE

My favorite finishing touch to get KDE "Just Right" is to set the Application Launcher icon to match the icon of the operating system that is running (which of course is FreeBSD).  The first thing to do is obtain the image we want to use.  A nice set of icons to use can be found at: https://store.kde.org/p/1120013/

Double click the downloaded file to open with Ark or from the command line, expand with something like:

# gzcat 112422-freebsd_kde4menu.tar.gz | tar -xvf -

Next, simply right click on the Application Launcher and choose Configure Application Launcher...




From the Application Launcher Settings screen, click the icon and select Choose... 



Browse to the location where you extracted the icons.  On a 1920x1080 screen, the 42x42 icon is about the right size.  


Select Apply and OK and there we have it!
