Every now and then the appearance of LibreOffice and/or other icons changes on my Desktop screen. The new appearance may last a while, sometimes only a short time, but the icons always seem to revert back to their normal appearance. This link shows what happens sometimes on one of my laptops: https://imgur.com/a/u8uly

If you look at these two screenshots, the first shows the normal appearance of 3 x LibreOffice icons and 1 x *.jpg file.
The second picture shows the appearance they sometimes acquire on rebooting.

Has anyone else observed this?  Is it anything to worry about?

2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ Arm710@1.2GHz - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)  
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ i3-3110M@2.4GHz - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom N455@1.66GHz - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel T3200@2.0GHz - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel T7100@1.8GHz - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work

do you sometimes use lite tweaks to delete the thumbnail cache? because that's what that is. or your machine deletes them on its own for some reason.

Yes, I do use thumbnail tweaks. So, that explains it then. Thanks UltraCookie, you're a star. I knew someone out there on the LL forum would know ... Wink
