I have on the desktop some Java programs which are displayed as generic

Open the properties for the icon. You'll see the icon on the first
tab. Click on it, to choose another.
Someone else today said to MB2 (left-handed people don't talk about
"right click") the existing icon to do this. But that leads to the
properties of the underlying file, not of the icon.
You click the icon and *voila*...there's the new icon selector.
At least that's how it works in KDE.
KDE is what I have here.
At the risk of revealing a degree of obtuseness that even I did not know I
possess, here is what I see when I click MB2 on a program icon and utter the
incantation "voila":
Open
Cut
Copy
Rename
Move to trash
Open with
Actions
Compress
Copy to
Move to
Properties
Examining the sub-options for each one of the above, I find no mention
of "icon". What am I missing?
You failed to complete the directions which I wrote previously.
Select "Properties"... when you see the icon in the properties
window, click on it, and you will be given the opportunity
to select a new icon image.
N.B.: It works the same way with "Eureka" instead of "voila".
You gotta follow the directions.
