The answer lies in my original response. Desktop icons are represented 
by text files whose names end in ".desktop" in each users ~/Desktop 
directory. In these files is the path name to the icon file. You can 
use that path name to find or open the icon file in order to produce a 
variant using one of the various image editing programs.

Again, my response listed the acceptable types: PNG, JPEG, GIF, XPM, SVG 
and .ico. There may be even more, but these will work.
