In my previous ubuntu, using ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa, apps run with wine would automagically be shown with nice icons in unity launcher.

In 16.04, using ppa:wine/wine-builds, I installed wine-devel but different apps show all together with the same ugly icon:

Wine icon

I've tried installing gnome-exe-thumbnailer package, which made icons show nicely in nautilus, but not in launcher. Is there any way to fix this?

Create ~/.local/share/applications/[application].desktop with:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=
GenericName=
Comment=
Exec=/Path/to/programm
Icon=/Path/to/icon
Categories=
StartupWMClass=

For a bit more help on format and details, this explanation is useful and has helpful links to further information.

  • that could be a workaround, but is not what I want. In my previous ubuntu (15.04) the icons were shown correctly for all exes run, without having to manually add launchers for each app. I want to have that back :/ – melkyades Apr 27 '16 at 15:36
  • @melkyades In my Ubuntu 15.10 with unity games installed with games on Linux had the wine icon – Motte001 Apr 27 '16 at 15:47
