[Locked] Help configuring/creating new icons for the text theme

Hi All,

Linux newbie here. Absolutely loving KDE and all it has to offer :0)

I imagine mine is possibly a very basic question. I've been fiddling around with customizing the "Text" theme for this dock. Again, mostly fantastic but of course I have swapped certain of its 'default' applications for my own, an example being I replaced OpenOffice with LibreOffice (it comes installed with the latter not the former). So, as any of you who have used this theme may have noticed, my lovely text based icon is now replaced with the icon that ships with LibreOffice and which is a big ugly graphic. I managed to point back to the original created icon, but the text now still reads "openoffice". This is just one example.

My question is: where or how on earth are these default texts stored?? I realize that I could simply create my own svg text and point to it using the edit menu, and this would work, but being something of a stickler for detail, what I'd really like to do is open up one of those actual text files the theme is currently using (because it will already inherit all the correct properties such as font), edit it to change the wording, and save it back in the "right place" as the theme is currently using these text icons.

Having read an intro to terminal, even using something as broad as "locate" and the many lines of results, nothing in those results points to anything I can see as being a relevant image of some sort. To clarify by way of another example: the theme by default puts an icon for Firefox which reads "FFOX" and yet no form of search on my system returns any result for such a name.

Can someone please tell me what it is I'm not understanding?
