There should be a series in:

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/XxX/apps/CMakeSetup.png

Where XxX is the resolution, eg: 32x32, 48x48,... :

ls /usr/share/icons/hicolor
128x128  192x192  22x22  256x256  36x36  512x512  72x72
16x16    20x20    24x24  32x32    48x48  64x64    96x96

You don't need all of them, but a selection is nice.

SVG/svgz is nice too, and that goes in "scalable".

Then the icon name in the .desktop file is simply "CMakeSetup".
