jupyter-lab.svg

thank you, It worked for me. first of all, I downloaded my favorite icon from Google and downloaded it with the new name of Jupyter-lab.png
after that, I moved this png file to ~/.local/share/icons with this code on the terminal:
sudo mv jupyter-lab.png ~/.local/share/icons

I create a text on my desktop in the terminal with this code:
touch jupyter-lab.desktop
then I copied these lines to this file. (Change [MYCOMPUTERNAME] with your computer name)
