I noticed that the icon of the menu can no longer be changed and is now set to the icon provided by the theme as "start-here".

The change was asked here as an option: #45

start-here

The problem I have is that I want to use "Numix circle" as my theme, but I don't want to have a red circle with an "n" in the panel (the left part of the image is my current setup and the right one is UM19.10 running in a VM).

Numix is a theme that can be applied to many distributions. They provide a generic "start-here", a version for Arch ("start-here-arch.."), a version for KDE ("start-here-kde" and a symbolic version "start-here-symbolic".

As @vkareh suggested here:
https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/ubuntu-mate-19-10-beta-testing/20262/129

GTK allows you to load icon fallbacks by removing hyphen parts: start-here-mate -> start-here -> start -> missing-image, so this should satisfy pretty much all themes.

Thanks for reporting this. To be specific, the fix is to submit a start-here-mate icon to the numix project so that we can use that. The first step is to create such an icon 😄

Numix has an icon called "desktop-environment-mate" with the mate logo already. I think they can link it from "start-here-mate".
