I've just updated from Utopic to Vivid and I think I have the same
problem. Icons in the Unity Launcher are jagged (see for example Sublime
Text icon in screenshot unity-launcher-a.png). Notice the difference
between Sublime Text icon in unity-lancher-a.png and unity-
launcher-b.png- in the second screenshot I modified
/usr/share/applications/sublime-text.desktop by setting
Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/sublime-text.png instead of
Icon=sublime-text. The icon looks much better than in unity-
launcher-a.png. It seems that if Icon parameter is set to "sublime-
text", Unity automatically picks icons which are the closest to launcher
icon size configured in Appearance Settings (34px in my case). Thus the
Sublime Text icon in unity-launcher-a.png is actually the 48x48 icon,
scaled down. The problem is that something is wrong scaling, and the
resulting icons look bad. Other bad-looking examples in my screenshots
are: Digikam, Eclipse, Terminal.
