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]

Hello there. Thanks for a great set of icons. Wondering if anyone can help me with how I switch to a separate start menu icon, do not want the foot or debian swirl icon that is here. I have my own that I would like to use, but do not know where I find the one I have now. I am using Linux Mint Debian Edition.

hi tiheum,

I just upgraded my LinuxMint 15 to LinuxMint 16 (based on Ubuntu 13.10
and now I have the problem, that there is no official release of your nice
faenza-icons for Ubuntu 13.10.

Can you give us information, when we can expect the new relase?? I would like to stay with your icons....

These packages of icons just looks almost like android icons. Very well done. Using the Ambiance package right now on linux mint 14.1 with Mate.

Hi, I don't know if you use this icon theme with ubuntu (it seems you do) but for some reason the battery icon that appears on ubuntu unity is AWFUL (screenshot: http://oi47.tinypic.com/2z4weat.jpg), it is definitely not the faenza icon. The rhtymbox icon too is also the app's own. This seems like a bug to me.

As a separate issue the pidgin icon is static (it doesn't reflect your status) but I got around it by deleting the pidgin icon from the theme entirely (it wasn't enough to delete the smaller ones).

I love the Faenza icon set so much that I use it in rEFInd, my bootloader on my MacBook Pro. There are currently logos for Windows, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian, etc., but there are unfortunately no dedicated Linux logo (ie: a Faenza "Tux" icon) or an OSX logo, or an elementary OS logo (see http://i.imgur.com/6Nips.png). Can you please provide some more awesome icons? :)

Hi, first of all, you've done a great job, nice icons.
I don't know if this error has yet been reported, but when i do a manual installation using the script, if the folder .icons in home dir is missing, besides the usual folders Faenza-Ambiance, Faenza-Dark, ecc... a certain number of other directories are generated: actions, app, categories, devices, ecc.. each containing other dirs called: 16 22 24 32 48 64 96 scalable.
This generates clutter when choosing the icon theme, especially with G-shell, cause those strange folders are listed with correct themes. Moreover, the script UNINSTALL does not remove those dirs.
If the .icons dir exists, all is fine, the scripts both work good.
Installation done on Debian Wheezy, with .icons folder missing by default.
Bye.

The following image shows four stock buttons ... new, delete, add and remove:

The Faenza icons for delete and remove are the same. They shouldn't be. The remove icon should be similar to the add icon (after all, add/remove are often paired together) except instead of resembling a plus sign, it should resemble a minus sign.

Thank you for your icons, I use them with all my distros.

If you permit me, I have some requests, could you add to Faenza or Faience (or both :D), Parcellite icon/icon systray and Pidgin icon/icon systray. If it is possible, I would love VLC icon systray too.

Thanks again !

Hi there!

firstly I have to say that your work with faenza is awesome! So, the apps I have that are not included yet look really awful. therefore I wanted to suggest (if possible) that you prepare a couple of icons for xdrawchem and pymol. Both of them are chemistry/biology apps mostly focused on the representations of molecules and proteins respectively.

That was it! Once again, keep the nice job!
