Open

Description

@mrmeszaros

Role

I use MultiMC

Suggestion

I want the desktop icon to be themed

Benefit

so that when I apply a desktop theme, MutliMC fits nicely

This suggestion is unique

  • I have searched the issue tracker and did not find an issue describing my suggestion, especially not one that has been rejected.

You may use the editor below to elaborate further.

Currently, the MultiMC desktop entry has it's icon line hardcoded, which disables the ability for freedesktop icon theming.

[Desktop Entry]
...
Icon=/opt/multimc/icon.svg
...

I suggest the icon to be installed to one of the standard icon folders (most likely /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/multimc.svg - source), and referenced by its basename (Icon=multimc).
This way an application icon theme (eg.: Numix) can seamlessy override it when applied.
