Description:

This icon theme for Gnome provides monochromatic icons for panels, toolbars and buttons and colourful squared icons for devices, applications, folder, files and Gnome menu items.

An installation script let you choose the logo of your favourite distribution and the appearance of the main menu icon (Gnome/distrib, monochrome/colour).

Several themes are included to fit with light or dark panels, menus and toolbars.

Please read the README file for useful tips and known issues

Installation
Download the tar.gz file and extract it. In the new folder created, run the ./INSTALL script to choose the distribution logo (Ubuntu, by default) and 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 Rhythmbox and Dockmanager may be also replaced.
Run ./UNINSTALL as root to restore defaults icons.

Launchpad PPA
Faenza icon theme is available to install via a PPA repository. Open a terminal and run :
[indent] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tiheum/equinox
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install faenza-icon-theme[/indent]

You did a nice work, but theres is problem with the install-script: it don't want to change the icons for Faenza-Dark.

Can you please describe your problem more precisely ?

The install script does not set any distro-icon or one of the monocromic icons, for exaile as example, to the dark version. For the light version it works perfect.

Sorry for my bad english.

Thanks a lot for your great work. I really love the theme. I would love to see an IBM Lotus Symphony and a TeXworks icon though.

Please keep developing this, it is by far one of the best icon sets I've seen.

I'd love to see a Vim icon soon.

Keep up the good work and thanks very much.

For some reason Empathy still uses the regular icons from Faenza in the dark version, this is not nice in the gnome-toolbar. Is there a fix?

I suggest for the next release of your beautiful set of icons (if you have not already thought alone) to implement many of the default icons for your set out on gnome look

Loved it. But I would be glad if you add icons for; emacs, Dia, hotot, Clementine, Python, Stellarium, gDesklets, Guake, Screenlets and tuxguitar.

emacs icons are indeed in the package. Edit your emacs.desktop on /usr/share/applications and set "[Icon]=" to emacs.

As I already said, wonderful job. Best icon set ever, period!

I have a request, could you please make the ibus icon in a similar style of the volume icon?
On the top right of the panel, all the icons are in gray scale and the ibus icon just doesn't fix.

Good luck!
Regards

Hi, in case you still work on this maybe you could add a Software Center icon with the Debian icon instead of the Ubuntu one. Then if the user chooses Debian for the start-here icon the software-center icon would default to Debian as well.

Thank you.

Secondly, I have an issue with faenza-dark and dropbox tray icon: while all the other tray icons are shows up correctly, dropbox use normal faenza icon for white panels...

Hello and thanks for your excellent work!

Is there any chance of making an icon for JDownloader?

One last request...
I'd really love it, if you could change the firefox icon (the foxes eye) with the default one.

Thanks once again!
