How to Change Thumbnail icon Badge image?

As the Title states, I would like to change the Badge image that appears on LibreOffice File Thumbnails (I’m on Windows 10). The generic gray LibreOffice Badge icon makes it hard at a glance, to distinguish which files are what, especially when other image files (jpg, png, etc.) are in the same folder with their own Thumbnail.

Is there a way to change the Badge image to each specific LibreOffice Application (LibreOffice Writer, Calc, etc)? This would also Standardize how LibreOffice Files are Displayed / Shown in Windows File Explorer. With the example I’ve shared, when the Folder View is set to “Details”, the icon image shown is LibreOffice Calc, but when the View is set to “Medium” or “Large icons”, you then see the File’s Thumbnail with LibreOffice’s gray generic icon in the lower right corner.

Thanks, Cheers!

This would be sooooo useful to me. Ended up here after searching the web for quite a bit. This post is the only reference I can find to this on the web!

I can’t believe there isn’t more about this on the web

It seems that it will be of greater use to me as it stands to just have icons displayed at all sizes, as it’s more important for me to know/see quickly if it is an odt or ods file, rather than get a graphical overview reminder of the file or a second way in addition to the file name in order to identify or differentiate files.
