subject: Simple question - how to

Hello all,

"Simple question".  That is how they all start. :-)

But seriously, how do I change the displayed icon of, in my current case, a
script.py file ?

I've found some instructions to how to change them for a application
(editing its *.desktop file), but have not come across anything in regard to
non-application files.

As for the icon itself, I see that under "/usr/share/icons" there are a lot
of subgroups (folders), all for (I assume) specific circumstances.  No idea
where I would need to store a new filetype icon ...

tl;dr:
Is there a description available to how to change/add new icons for
non-application files ?

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
