Default Changing icons that aren't in theme builder?

hello, how do i go about changing icons that aren't present in theme builder?

for example, the secondary email account icon doesn't take the icon you put in using theme builder, it uses the default. how do i change this?

other examples would be the word/excel processors and the extra folder icons you can set when you go to add folder > choose icon.

TIA

Icons for apps not present in TB cannot be changed in TB. There is an app that will create a shortcut with another icon and then hide the main program.

Email accounts only use the secondary email icon if there is not an icon associated with it from the service books. AKA if the email account has its own icon, it will use it. Some of the email accounts out there have an icon similar to the default one.

try the app MagicIcon. It's what I use to change the icons for apps not in themebuilder, or for third party icons.

those people are probably using composer to do that. When creating themes in composer, you can create buttons for third party apps (or apps not listed in themebuilder). As long as you know the name of the module for the app you want an icon for, you can create a button for it and set a custom normal and focus icon for that app.
