Claws Mail icon appearing on LXQt desktop

After Claws was installed on Fedora 31, I noticed the application icon on the LXQt desktop and on its entry on the Internet menu, is different (green claw emerging from a single envelope), instead of the well-known icon that is shown on the Claws Mail web site and in other desktops (MATE, LXDE, etc.)

Is there a way of changing the icon on the LXQt desktop and menu to the well-known icon? Clicking the icon on the Properties screen of its desktop entry doesn't do anything.

I am attaching a screenshot showing the icon that appears on the desktop.

Thank you.

Claws Mail icon appearing on LXQt desktop

Three pitfalls comes to mind. A custom desktop file and/or a customized
icon theme only used by the LXQt desktop provided by your Linux distro
or the menu allows to chose a different icon. A right click menu as
well as a panel menu might have go a configuration file.

I'm using a different distro and no desktop environment at all, but I'm
using a panel.

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep claws .config/fbpanel/lcd-realignment 
	  image = /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/claws-mail.png
	  action = claws-mail

IOW usually it is possible to change the icon you see provided by a
menu, title bar of the window manager etc., but how to do this depends
on several things. However, it's unlikely related to claws-mail
upstream.

Thank you for the reply.

It was the icon theme used, Breeze was the default.

I changed it to the Fedora icon theme and the CM icon changed back to the well-known icon.
