I downloaded the binaries from the website and just ran from CLI `./bin/bitcoin-qt`. I also compiled the code myself and have the same result.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-07-06)

When I run bitcoin-qt from CLI I get a nice Bitcoin icon with distinct colors for main and testnet.

[![Bitcoin main net](https://i.sstatic.net/J5tKx.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/J5tKx.png)[![Bitcoin testnet](https://i.sstatic.net/a3Fp0.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/a3Fp0.png)

I want to create a .desktop file to run it from Gnome, how can I configure the icon to be the same?
I don't seem to find those icons on the release files to reference.
