Hello, I would like to understand what to do to customize the icons that appear in the Q menu for template and app vms. The only way I have found that works is to overwrite icon files in /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/* in the template vm.In dom0 it is easy: I put an icon folder Qubes in ~/.icons, with a custom svg icon for a terminal, named appropriately, and Adwaita as backup icon theme, ran gtk-update-icon-theme, and then chose that icon theme in xfce settings. Everything just works.
I don't know about Adwaita or anything, but Qubes OS adheres to the Freedesktop Standard [1] (I guess version 1.0 though).
So the entire menu incl. icons is managed by *.desktop and *.menu files in dom0. Nothing is imported from within any VM.
If I recall correctly, the menu structure is managed at ~/.config/menus/applications-merged/ and the name & icons of the entries at ~/.local/share/applications.
The sync you mentioned probably copies files from ~/.local/share/qubes-appmenus/ to ~/.local/share/applications as you reconfigure your menu with e.g. the Qubes manager. I'm not 100% sure about that, but you can easily test it.
