[Bug 1657863] [NEW] Icons are too big or the wrong icon is shown on hidpi screens

 

Public bug reported:

Because Humanity doesn't have support for @2x icons, some icons are
displayed too big.  This is a general issue, but is easily noticed in a
few examples below.

In nautilus, the default window size only fits 4 columns of icons on a
hidpi screen, compared with 7 on a non-hidpi screen.

In Transmission, the "Open" button in the toolbar uses an icon with a
different metaphor on hidpi screens (an up arrow emerging from a folder)
than on lowdpi screens (a sheet of paper emerging from a folder).

After adding symbolic links for @2x icons and updating the index.theme
files accordingly fixes these issues.

** Affects: humanity-icon-theme (Ubuntu)
