I am fairly incompetent with Ubuntu and old so please forgive me if I ask something stupid.
My problem is that I can't change the icon on a folder on my desktop on 20.04. I have tried the usual method. Rt click folder. Properties. Click on displayed icon. Select new icon.
This PARTIALLY works. It works in 'files'. If I go to files and look at desktop then sure enough it has the new icon. But.... on the desktop itself it does not change. It remains as the original standard icon for a folder.
I do not have any folder changing software installed.
My only question would be that I installed 'mega' files integration with nautilus. I can't see how this works and how to remove it. Could that cause any problems?
I should add that it is the mega files 'sync' folder that I am trying to change the icon on.
The folder works perfectly. It's just that I want it to have the mega logo on it so that I can easily spot it on my desktop.
Thanks for any help.
