[Bug 1173622] Re: Boinc Manager icon in Unity is small

[MestreLion]

Humm, I can fix that... I'll clone the debian git repo, add the icons
and update the desktop file accordingly

Meanwhile, Saikrishna, I created a script for my personal use that you
might find useful: it downloads all the icon files in that page you
mentioned,convert to PNG, and installs them, adjusting the .desktop
file.

All operations are made for current user only, so no sudo required. The
original boinc icons and .desktop are not modified, everything is saved
in ~/.local/share, so they will have higher precedence than the system
ones and be picked up by Ubuntu. Logout may be required for changes to
take effect.

Be aware that these icons, being a BMP, have a white non-transparent
background... and while they look nice (the 256 one is *gorgeous*), a
fixed white background is not optimal. And don't try to add `transparent
white` to `convert`... it works, but will look even worse :P

Have fun:
