Cinnamon's smaller menu gear icon.
Raw
gear.md

For unknown reasons I keep having to reset this. Now, additionally, the only relevant Google result leads to a GitHub issue that unfortunately points to a file on the master branch that has since been moved. Here are the direct links to the files.

Note that this icon has been changed in a later version. The newer version seems to be slightly larger. I dislike it, so this is the original gear.

The file goes in /usr/share/cinnamon/theme/menu-symbolic.svg:

$ sudo wget -O /usr/share/cinnamon/theme/menu-symbolic.svg \

menu.svg is the file name of the version linked to here. The issue with the link to the broken version points to menu.svg. I experience that menu.svg is the default icon and the one the menu is configured to use. If there is no reason to preserve the Mint logo, substitute menu.svg for menu-symbolic.svg. Otherwise, make sure to configure the menu to use the gear icon.
