=Change Icon Theme=
The icon theme can be changed via LXQt Configuration Center --> LXQt Appearance --> Icon Theme
The default icon theme of LXQt is ''oxygen-icons''. It is a relatively large download, but pretty complete.
Examples of other icon themes are:
sudo pacman -S menda-circle-icon-theme
yaourt -S numix-icon-theme-git
sudo pacman -S faenza-icon-theme
yaourt -S tango-icon-theme
All of these example do '''not''' provide '''complete''' icon themes. Especially in the LXQt Configuration Center are icons missing. Some application icons can be missing, too. You can easily identify applications and settings with missing icons by opening the start menu and looking at all the icons in it.
Please read the next chapter (chapter 5) for a tutorial on how to assign new/other icons.
