How to get VirtualBox pre-7.1 icon back

To get our trusted, old cube icon back, follow this process:

1. In Midnight Commander, open any previous version RPM, for example 6.1 by pressing Enter on it.
2. Point at CONTENTS.cpio and press Enter on it. Wait for it to open.
3. Navigate to usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/
4. Copy virtualbox.png to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/
5. Log out and back into the desktop.

Voila! The new god-awful piece of crap icon that means nothing to someone who's been using VB for close to 20 years is now gone, and the old icon is restored. By the way, this method works for any icons that the Microsoft-bitten zombie FOSS developers now seem so eager to change in the new versions of Linux.
