How to Change the Dash Icon in Unity-Ubuntu 16.04?

Using command line

1-Backup the original icon (open a terminal ctrl+alt+t) :

sudo mv /usr/share/unity/icons/launcher_bfb.png /usr/share/unity/icons/launcher_bfb-back.png{codeBox}

2-Copy your chosen icon to /usr/share/unity/icons/ and rename it to launcher_bfb.png by the following command :

sudo cp /path (the icon path)/icon-name.png /usr/share/unity/icons/launcher_bfb-back.png 

for me it like that: sudo cp /home/djalel/Pictures/ubuntu.png /usr/share/unity/icons/launcher_bfb-back.png {codeBox}

Using file Manger

1-Open the file manger as root:

gksu nautilus{codeBox}
