Set Application Icon Using Canonical Quickly

Question

Is there a simple way to set an application's icon using canoncial-quickly? I have tried setting the icon file of the main window within Glade, but the application still uses one of the stock GTK icons as its main icon in Unity on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Answer 1

Navigate to the directory with your Quickly Ubuntu application in it. Let's say it's called myproj. Inside myproj is a directory named data. Inside data is a directory named media. And in there you should see a graphic file named myproj.svg. Replace myproj.svg with a scalable vector graphics image of your choice. You can either download an svg off the web, or create one for yourself in Inkscape. The next time you run your application, it will pick up myproj.svg as its icon.
