This is how you would add your own icon to Cerberus-X on Linux (it's just a generic gray icon if you don't).

Say you download the Github, you just unzip it and rename the folder if you want. Then move it whereever you want to place it, I just keep it in downloads. Now put your png icon and this .desktop file inside Cerberus. Make sure that you match the name/path of the icon and binary with the content of the file. Now your done.

Just drag the .desktop file to the startmenu or desk.

Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=
Exec=/home/myusername/Downloads/Cerberus/bin/Ted
GenericName=
Icon=/home/myusername/Downloads/Cerberus/iwantthisicon.png
MimeType=
Name=Cerberus
GenericName=Programming Language
Path=
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
X-DBUS-ServiceName=
X-DBUS-StartupType=
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=
