Hello
My problem looks like this.
It seems that urxvt and spacefm icons are missing. I just need to have an easy way of discerning between the two.
I have numix-icon-theme installed along with its dependencies + gnome-icon-theme-extras and the same goes for any other icon theme.
How do i go about changing program icons on lxde taskbar?

The lxde bar most likely gets its icons from the desktop entry of the application. Have a look there and if you want to change something, copy the .desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications and change it there.

I've tried it with no luck. Icons do appear on lxde menu, run command and on file manager directory listings panel. Only icons on taskbar are missing.

Please be more specific. What exactly have you tried? Did you restart the taskbar / panel after?

Sorry for the late reply.
First i copied relevant .desktop files from /usr/share/applications to ~/.local/share/applications and made changes from there. I used both relative and absolute paths to icon to no avail.
Then i used those desktop files definitions for which the icons do appear as a reference namely lxterminal so that my urxvt.desktop looked like this. But that didn't work either.
I use hicolor and gnome icon theme as fallback.
Hicolor has all its icons for urxvt from 16x16 to 128x128 under corresponding directories /usr/share/icons/hicolor/[icon_size]/apps same goes for .local/share/icons/hicolor which also don't work.
Here is my numix index theme file.
EDIT: forgot to mention when i use lxterminal icon for urxvt it does appear on desktop/lxde menu controlled by pcmanfm and lxde "run" but it does not show on taskbar. I use icon size 24 on taskbar.

I got what i wanted.
Turned out i should depend on applications themselves to explicitly provide icon through configuration options rather than icon theme.
Thing with spacefm is quite embarrassing actually - i just found that option to set window icon under view tab and typed in suggested icon name when i wanted to tweak some settings.
Worked like a charm.
As for urxvt i found the solution in this thread.
I was using rxvt-unicode from community that's compiled w/o libafterimage flag and specyfing
urxvt -icon pathToSomeIcon simply didn't work because of that.
Thanks & marking as solved.
