How to implement a new set of icons (an "icon apk") so we can use it within action:shortcut ?

Keywords: icon | symbol | apk | shortcut | verknüpfung | smiley

There's a dropdown to select a custom image when a shortcut is installed (press button Install Shortcut, and switch to Custom Image).
What kind of "icon apk" would you like to use?

Thx Martin. Unfortunately I haven't realized that option in the first instance. Tried it successfully. Mission accomplished.

Nevertheless, action:shortcut didn't provide the option to change an already existing "desktop-shortcut"-icon on the fly (as we all know it from MS-Windows desktop shortcuts properties). If I'd try this - using the current available options - it'll create a clone of the flow with the newly selected icon (?).

As far as I know an app can not modify a shortcut after it has been created, that's a function the launcher would have to provide. You can delete the icon on the launcher and press the 'Install Shortcut' button in the trigger to create a new icon on the launcher. This will not copy the trigger or flow in Automagic, it only creates a new icon on the launcher.
