Of course. Use a third party theme from all over the internet. Or use EMUI Theme Editor.
There are some good stock themes where you can choose to change
with the theme only the icons..
And other ones do maybe more modify the looks..
Just search a bit you could find what you are asking for

I am making a ROM. And I'm trying to change the stock icons. I've tried every posssible way but i just can't change them. I'm trying to theme Holo Launcher with custom icons. The icons I have are hdpi. So i don't know how to turn them to mdpi. Is there any way i can turn it to mdpi on my PC. And what are the icons supposed to be renamed as well as which directory am i supposed to place them.
No need to convert

I know you can change the items, but is it possible to change the default icons on the lockscreen in any way? I prefer the stock Android icons over the TouchWiz icons. Can they be edited, or is there any way to change them?

open the apps for which you want to change the icons using the apktool..you will find numerous guides on how to do it..
go to res>drawable-xhdpi
find ic_launcher_xxx or something like it
change it..
recompile it and push it back into your phone..
you are done..
How do I install them quickly? I know of desktop visualiser but that is very slow and have to do 1 by 1. Is there any apps that I can use to choose/filter the icons that I want to use? Thanks

If your using a custom launcher such as launcher pro, apex, nova, etc. If you are using apex launcher for example search up apex icon pack on the play store then download the one you like, and apply from the launchers theme or appearance settings selecting the icon pack you want to use. Let me know if you still have questions.

Would it be possible to include extra icons in a theme download?
I have 'Depth' installed, but would like to change the folders on the left most screen. Unfortunately I can't find matching icons...

A lot of the time the designer uses custom icons, so it's not possible to get the pack.
What you could do, instead, is use your own icons or find an icon pack on the internet and just replace all icons with those. Then you'll have some to spare.
I found a nice white pack on deviantart by googling "android icons". I loaded them into my picture gallery, and then just changed them from the main screen (long press > edit > choose picture and save). I'm using the same theme as you. The icon pack I used is called "Whiteout".

How do we do this? Most Icon Packs now are tied to select Launchers and only those Launchers...
How do I install Nox pack and then load these to my Gallery?

I was wondering is there a way to make all icons in oval shape? At the moment system icons are in squares, and third party icons are circles? For example, I prefer all icons to be circles (especially those from Fairyland theme).
Yes, I know I can do this with Nova launcher, but with 3rd party launchers you lose some functionality (HiSearch, and most app shortcuts).
I've customised a theme with EMUI theme manager, but I don't think it supports EMUI 9 at it's full potential at the moment, because when I compile the theme and save it, after applying it, icons are mixed up; for example themes icon apply to music, music icon apply photos etc...
So I'm open to ideas! Any suggestions?
You can use this application to convert any icons pack to Huawei icon theme. Then you apply the generated theme as usually you do, it will only change the icons. Hope this helps.

OP solved this by making a custom theme with round icons for the stock apps.
The inconsistent icon shapes bother me a lot too. OP's theme - Fairy Circle - and the excellent XZ3 theme sort this out for now.
Hopefully Huawei fix this jarring business with their next device and we can install themes from that and be done with it.
