I'd like to change the size and background color of this icon. I've tried editing parts of 'App Icons' and 'App Folders' in gnome-shell.css, without success so far. Should I be looking instead into the ....symbolic.svg files in gnome-shell-theme.gresource? Where are the specific files for this icon?

This Ubuntu Handbook article has since shown, for the Yaru theme, the location of this icon, and how it may be edited.

The start menu dot grid icon relies on the view-app-grid-symbolic.svg icon. For default Yaru icon theme, it’s located in /usr/share/icons/Yaru/scalable/actions.

To change it, you can simply replace it with another SVG file.

Make a backup of the original file first:

cd /usr/share/icons/Yaru/scalable/actions/ && sudo cp view-app-grid-symbolic.svg view-app-grid-symbolic.svg.bak

Then copy the SVG file you want to use to the original location:

sudo cp /path/to/your/svg /usr/share/icons/Yaru/scalable/actions/view-app-grid-symbolic.svg
