[Solved] How do you change the top left window menu icon?

How do you change the window menu icon?

I have dug around the icons but it is pulling from some where in the icon theme and I cannot find it...

Running linux mint 17 Trusty Tahr xfce 4.10

Anybody got a hint?

Re: [Solved] How do you change the top left window menu icon?

three ways:

1. replace window decoration theme, that has the own icon for menu button (Basix, Default-4.0, etc.) for xfwm4
2. /usr/share/themes/YOUR_THEME/xfwm4/themerc:   
show_app_icon=false
3. replace menu-* icons in /usr/share/themes/YOUR_THEME/xfwm4

Simple: right-click, select Properties and changing the icon to whatever you want.

Thanks for the suggestions. They provided the clues needed to solve the problem.

Turns out that the icon that is used in is called: window-shell.png

It was located in my icon set:

~/.icons/buuf3.10/16x16/Zimages/

Thanks again!
