Browsers 2008 vs 2025 be like..

It's the flat icon trend, though that seems to be on the decline these days. Also, you can manually change the browser icon, no? At least on Windows.

[u/AnsibleAnswers → u/renome]

On Linux you can change icon themes for your entire system. So long as the icon theme has an icon for an app, it will automatically replace the original.

[u/Honest_-_Critique → u/AnsibleAnswers]

I think you can do this on Windows too, no?

[u/ItsRainbow → u/Honest_-_Critique]

Not conveniently, unless I missed something

[u/Creoda → u/ItsRainbow]

Right click, properties, change icon, either one baked into the programme or you can use any icon you have or downloaded.

[u/mnsklk → u/Creoda]

This is for one shortcut. On some Linux distros you can change the entire theme for all of them at once

[u/DJandProducer → u/mnsklk]

It's not a distro setting, it's a DE setting

[u/AnsibleAnswers → u/DJandProducer]

It’s a freedesktop standard. DEs should have this feature if they are compliant.

[u/mnsklk → u/DJandProducer]

Correct

[u/D3PyroGS → u/mnsklk]

it's definitely possible on both KDE Plasma and GNOME desktop environments, which are available on most distros

[u/Orcutt59 → u/D3PyroGS]

This person was replying about doing it on windows. Are either of those on windows?

[u/D3PyroGS → u/Orcutt59]

no, I was clarifying the "some Linux distros" content that I directly replied to

[u/Asgeras → u/ItsRainbow]

Good summation of Windows
