Hugin icons blurred in Gnome

[Cristian Marchi]

In gnome, hugin related icons are blurred. Maybe they need to be in a higher resolution or svg files need to be used?

I'm using hugin compiled from default under Ubuntu 18.04

I have currently no access to a GNOME desktop and can't test for myself.
Currently there is only a 48x48 icon. In the attached patch I added 2 svg variants for the icons and install them additionally. But I don't know if GNOME picks up the correct one or still fall back to the 48x48 png icon.
Could you please test the attached patch?
Thanks

Thanks, now is better!
Comparing it with other icons it seems there is no antialiasing (see attached image). Maybe instead of svg is better a bigger resolution icon file?

The icon is specified in the hugin.desktop file. There is some documentation about this file format, but I found only spare documentation about how to specify different icon size.

https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/latest/ar01s07.html
https://developer.gnome.org/desktop-entry-spec/

If you found a better spec, post the link.

Or you could check what size the other programs install. Check paths
/usr/share/pixmaps
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps
/usr/share/icons

By browsing the folder you suggested I can say that most programs stores icons in path usr/share/icons/hicolor where there are subfolders containing icons in png format in different sizes (see the attached image for libreoffice-calc).

Thanks
