tilda and gnome-terminal look the same on icons for Ubuntu16.04? #354

Open photonxp opened 6 years ago

Problem:

On my Ubuntu I have tilda and gnome-terminal look the same on icons. On debian 8, I get a tilda icon that looks different as a yellow bill penguin

tilda_icon

/usr/share/applications/tilda.desktop :

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Tilda
Exec=/usr/bin/tilda
Icon=tilda
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=GNOME;GTK;System;Utility;TerminalEmulator;

Ubuntu version:

16.04

Tilda version:

tilda/xenial,now 1.3.1-1 amd64

Workaround:

Download an icon file and copy it to a proper place such as ~/.config/tilda Then edit tilda.desktop

/usr/share/applications/tilda.desktop :
Icon=/home/$user/.config/tilda/icon.png
Change the $user part in the above line

For reference, this was changed in 94ec3d851f4426bc7474063fb5ae8e8a31c37267.

I am not very familiar with the icon-theme-specification. So I am not sure what would be the best way to fix this.
