How to change Unity3d icon?

  • 772

I have Ubuntu 16.04 and Unity 3d installed (2018.1.0b13). I wanted to upgrade to this version because of the new features, but I'm experiencing an issue.I have installed Numix package, but Unity3d's icon is still in its orginal style.

enter image description here

I searched in Numix's folder and there is a .svg file with Unity3d's icon.Can you help me change this icon to look modern?

Thanks, Matthew

  1. I did it this way:

    1 - Create a .desktop file that links to the Unity3D installation.

    2 - Change the ICON attribute in the .desktop file to point to Numix's icon ( or anything for that matter). For more robustness, you can set the value of ICON to unity-editor-icon.

    for example in my case, the Unity3D.desktop file looks like this:

    [Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Unity3D
Comment=Unity Game Engine
Exec=/home/behnam/Unity-2018.1.0f2/Editor/Unity
Icon=unity-editor-icon
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Utility;Application;
Name[en_US]=Unity3D

    3 - Add execution permissions to the .desktop file ( Otherwise, you won't be able to run it )

    chmod +x Unity3D.desktop

    4 - Put the file in the ~/.local/share/applications directory

    5 - Now you'll see it in the dash and the switcher with the good looking icon :)
