How to change intellij's gradle elephant icon to the classic one

Question

The elephant icon of the gradle build-tool doesn't look professional to non-programmer high ranked entities (in my opinion) , the older icon looks much more professional .

My goal is to find a way to revert back to the previous gradle icon on my IDE.

tried to find this answer on the intellij's documentation without no success, tried numerous google searches, investigated plenty of intellij-idea options, searched stackoverflow's related topics, With no luck.

I'm sure that eventhough this problem isn't code related, It relates to every java/scala/kotlin programmer who would love to find a solution for this.

Answer 1

You can clone the Intellij Community edition repo, replace the svg icon. You can then run it from source or compile it into an executable. The location of the icon can be found here. Build instructions are in the readme.
