Image of the digikam icon on Ubuntu 11.04

Version:           2.0.0 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

Ubuntu 11.04 uses new desktop interface Unity and it has application launcher on the left side, where most used (and active) applications can be seen. DigiKam icon pixelates terribly when it is streched to fill the space. Could you create icon that scales better?

Reproducible: Always

digiKam icon are SVG, so scalable as well...

Sound like an Unity problem...

Reopening as upstream is not sure how to fix this, perhaps you have more information or a suggestion for them. Please see comments #5 and #6 of the Launchpad bug report:

Without answering the bug has been marked as resolved.

thats something Unity can't fixed, it seems digikam ships with 32*32 icon by default. the bug needs to be fixed in the app itself.

Can you disprove it please?
