Upstream bugreport of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1260245 Description of problem: While using Kickoff classic menu (plasma 5 version of [1]): if you rightclick on the Fedora logo icon and you select settings -> use a custom image, you will not be brought to an icon choice menu (like it happens when you try to change regular version of Kickoff (Plasma 5 version of [2]) but on a generic file-choice window. This does not allow users to easly browse the default Fedora icons.

Kickoff has code in the config we can take
This is intentional, it's an image selection feature, not an icon selection feature.
(In reply to Eike Hein from comment #2) > This is intentional, it's an image selection feature, not an icon selection > feature. Then why there is such difference between Applications menu and Applications launcher? One uses icon choice and the other one uses image choice.
It has somewhat historic reasons. The ability to set a custom image (which can be non-square, etc.) was a heavily desired feature by users that was added to the original Homerun Kicker applet, which was rewritten and bundled as Application Menu in Plasma 5. Meanwhile, Kickoff separately added an icon choosing feature. There probably needs to be both.
