Use native icons

[ruizlenato]

Some launchers take the icons from the app itself when the icon pack does not have the app icon, it would be nice to have this in yofi.

I suppose that should be resolved after #13 which actually requires quite a significant rework of the logic.

Currently yofi does grab apps' names/paths of the icon from .desktop files (provided by the app) thus it should work most of the times. The problem that current implementation could only handle a single size of icon. I.e. the flow is the following:

1. Find Icon= entry in desktop file (e.g. /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop).
2. If that doesn't look and quack like path then find a specified name in /usr/share/icons/<icon_theme>/<icon_size>x<icon_size> (and similar).
3. Load the icon by the final path.

The problem is that <icon_size> is fixed and if an app has a different icon_size it won't be found. So for temporary solution one of the (poor) workarounds might work out for you:

• Change icon.size in config.
• Specify absolute icon path for certain desktop files.
• Create rescaled icon and put it at /usr/share/icons/<icon_theme>/<icon_size>x<icon_size> (<icon_theme> by default is default).
