Thank you I managed to get it to work. Initially I copied over the 
application icon from one folder to another and attempts to save it 
resulted in "could not open file to write". However, I still had the 
installed icon on my desktop so I was able to save the changes to it 
then copy and paste it to my ~/.local/share/applications folder and that 
did the trick.

Thank you kindly for the help there Vincent!
