Installation ============ Run the .

/INSTALL script to choose the distribution logo (Ubuntu, by default) an d the Gnome menu icon. If run as root, the script will copy the iconsets to /usr /share/icons to made them available to all users. Some default icons used by Rhy thmbox may be also replaced. Run ./UNINSTALL as root to restore defaults icons. Launchpad PPA ============= Faenza icon theme is available to install for Ubuntu users via a PPA repository. Open a terminal and run : sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tiheum/equinox sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install faenza-icon-theme You can also install the faenza-icons-mono package. It replace the 22x22 squared icons for Deluge, Exaile, Fusion Icon, iBus and Kupfer by their monochromatic c ounterpart. Tips ==== * Ubuntu 10.10: the Unity panel has a strange behavior with some icons compared with the previous version (and Gnome 2 panels of course), especially with user m enu and battery state icons. You might use one of the to new themes instead of t he classic ones: Faenza-Ambiance is suitable with dark panel and toolbars (inher its Faenza-Darkest theme), Faenza-Radiance with light panel and controls (inheri ts Faenza theme). * Some applications are configured to always use the same icon regardless of the selected theme. To display the Faenza icon, edit as root the /usr/share/applica tions/application_name.desktop file and locate the line beginning with 'Icon='. Replace the fullpath icon name by the one of the Faenza icon (usually, the name of the application itself) without the extension. Don't forget to make a backup before changing one of those files. E.g. Vim desktop file is /usr/share/applications/gvim.desktop Some desktop files can be located in /usr/local/share/applications or in you r ~/.local/share/applications folder (e.g. Steam desktop file is somewhere in ~/ .local/share/applications/wine). Here is a partial list: emacs23, desura, gcolor2, bluefish, hardinfo, setrou bleshoot, gufw, pithos, vim, rssowl, netbeans, gazpacho, guake, all commercial g ames, etc * If you want to use the new Gnome contact application, edit its desktop file (/ usr/share/applications/gnome-contacts.desktop) to use the specific (and beautifu l) icon named gnome-contacts ;) Known issues ============ * Java applications like jDownloader or Frostwire doesn't support themes even if you edit the corresponding .desktop files. * A lots of applications does not currently support support monochromatic tray i con (deluge, gnome-do, skype, spotify, goldendict) without changing the applicat ion icon itself. Please report issue to the developers.
