You can, for example, use a command such as display to make sure:ĭisplay /full/path/to/icon/icon-96x96.png
Make sure that the icon file is accessible. If the icon filename or path are incorrect, you get this error telling you that the file was not found. The best is to do the change right after you created the machine. This is going to be necessary if you auto-start the VM on boot. You'll have to shutdown the machine, then change the icon, and finally restart the machine. If the concerned VM is already running, it will refuse to make such changes. The VirtualBox interface will update the icon immediately (the VBoxManager communicates with it, so it knows). It is likely that most image file formats do work. I used an SVG with sizes 282x282 and it worked as well. The solution is to assign a new icon to your VMs.įirst, make sure that your icon is a square such as 48x48, 96x96, or 128x128. When you have 50 to 100, it becomes tedious to know what's what since all the icons will look alike (by default, they select the icon based on the operating system defined for that VM). If you just have one or two VMs, that's certainly not a huge issue. That icon appears in your bar of icons (usually on the left side of the screen) and also in the VirtualBox interface. By default, VirtualBox assigns a default icon to your VMs.
