Please check the screenshot.
I have 2 icons looking the same.

In English they mean "complete source code" and "copy source block".
What can I do to distinguish them?

At a guess: Default-Icon for entries not having an individual Icon.
Haven't found an option to assign an icon to a menu

:'(

I have two icons with flashes side by side.
IMHO they SHOULD have an individual icon.

The menu items are created in unit mainbase in the ide folder of your
Lazarus installation, the "Source" menu in
TMainIDEBase.SetupSourceMenu:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i procedure
TMainIDEBase.SetupSourceMenu;var  ParentMI, SubParentMI:
TIDEMenuSection;begin  with MainIDEBar do begin    CreateMenuSeparator
Section(mnuSource,itmSourceBlockActions,'itmSourceBlockActions');   
ParentMI:=itmSourceBlockActions;    CreateMenuItem(ParentMI,itmSourceC
ommentBlock,'itmSourceCommentBlock',lisMenuCommentSelection,
'menu_comment');    ...    CreateMenuItem(ParentMI,itmSourceCompleteCo
deInteractive,'itmSourceCompleteCodeInteractive',lisMenuCompleteCodeIn
teractive);    ...    The first CreateMenuItem call has as last
parameter the name of the icon, here: "menu_comment". The second does
not. Therefore, it gets the default icon.

All you have to do is to go to folder images/menu, find the icon that
you would like to have for the "Complete code" item, add its name
(without ".png") to the corresponding CreateMenuItem call, and rebuild
the IDE.

Thank you!
I will keep your post in my tricks-folder.

Double post, because I thought, this may be a new feature wish, if it
would not have been possible (as Zvoni thought and me too)

New feature wish for customizable icons? I think this is not easy, and
has little benefit. Better: If you miss an icon propose which one
among the huge icon collection that we have in the images folder
should be used (it must be unique, of course, and should "fit" somehow
to the others logically), or describe or sketch how it should be
modified, and submit it as a feature request to bug tracker.
