    Hello,

    I've been playing with my new AAO for some day's now, and I like it.
    Can someone please tell me how to ad new Icons to the usr/share/pixmaps.
    I did find a youtube.png on the internet and want it to show up in my Desktop and Menu using sudo mousepad etc etc
    A simpel Copy and Paste of the .png using the File Manager doesn't seem work.

    It's probably a no-brainer, but Linux is totally new to me.

    Thank You.

    You probably have to use the sudo cp or sudo mv command. Copying files into some directories you can only do as administrator, hence the sudo comand before the copy or move command.

    I don't know what the CP or MV stands for
    ....?
    But the command sudo thunar did the trick.
    Thanks anyway.
