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]

i downloaded your updated version and i found that selecting faenza ambiance or darker version doesnt change the theme, it falls back to default gnome icon theme. any clue why this is happening ?

Thanks mate. I completely deleted the previous faenza installs, re-installed through script and it was through...
Am waiting for the Faience update, the Ocre with the menubar icons (A shade different from Faenza) that is simply awesome !

dont know how to generate error message. as usual i installed it to ~/.icons. tried to chose from gnome-tweak-tool. all versions except ambiance and darker versions work fine (even radiance version seems to work fine) but when ambiance is selected, it shows default gnome icon set on nautilus folders !

here is my screenshot => http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38232687/Error%20Screenshots/Faenza-screenshot.png

Hey there,

I've been a massive fan of your icon theme for ages. However I recently installed it on Ubuntu 11.10 and the battery indicator icon seemed really large, low res and generally horrid. You may of fixed this by now but I just thought I'd see.

Keep up the good work!

It seems the faenza theme does not have icons for media-seek-forward and media-seek-backward. Any chance these icons could be added? Gnome-mplayer looks weird since it ends up using Gnome icons for the seek buttons.

Hi, I have installed Faenza using the PPA method on Xubuntu 11.04 and for some reason the default distributor logo is showing as Fedora. I installed it last week on Xubuntu and it showed the Ubuntu logo but today only the Fedora logo.
Has the default logo changed or is it just me? Has anyone that installed it on Xubuntu 11.04 on the 10th of August or after had a similar problem?

Hi,

It's my fault: I use Fedora since two months to test Gnome Shell ;) The Ubuntu logo will be back in the PPA in the next hours.

Also many thanks for this great icon set, keep up the good work.
