So, I use TeXStudio on Mac with MacTex and have a couple of custom commands. I can access them via Tools->User->xxx menu and of course with a keyboard shortcut. But, is there anyway to create a clickable icon in the toolbar for a custom command?

I had this issue myself once. Googling led to my own question on askubuntu.com and ultimately yielded:
close TXS
run
sudo apt-get install libqt4-svgrestart TXS
Getting the Icon:
The easiest way should be taking a screenshot. As the symbol will be displayed very small, bad quality should not matter that much. Maybe consider removing the background colour with a tool like
gimpto get a transparent background.Getting it from the source of TeXStudio. Once downloaded the source ball contains a folder
images-ngwhere all the icons can be found in.svgzformat (alternatively it can be found online at https://sourceforge.net/p/texstudio/hg/ci/default/tree/images-ng/compile-pdf.svgz). Converting it to.pngcan be done e.g. withinkscapeor google can find you online services to do so.
Replacing the Icon:
In the preference menu, you can change the icon simply with a right click.
Remark:
Keep the image in the location you selected it from, otherwise you end up with a non existing icon - or in other words an empty space in the toolbar, you can only guess what command it is for.
Best Answer
You can do that as per chapter 1.8 in the Texstudio manual.
Menu > Options > Configure TeXstudio > Toolbars > [checked] Show advanced options > pick the Toolbar you want to add the icon to from the left dropdown > pick 'All menus' from the right dropdown > navigate & select your 1st custom command in the right panel > click the left arrow to add that action to the toolbar > right click the newly added action in the left panel > Load other icon > select an icon (perhaps custom made and saved as SVG) > click Ok.
Test and redo with 2nd custom command.
