Faenza-Dark gets installed with its start-here links broken, at least in my case (openSUSE).

Excellent, professional-quality icon theme!! My old, plain icons hurt my eyes now!! Not much more to say really!! Thanks!!

I would like to design some small icons (16x16) for dark themes.

Do you have some tutorial or so?'

Thanx!

No tutorials for the moment but you can download the sources : you will find all icons in SVG format including the smaller size.

The best icons I've ever seen. I showed my friends Linux. They were more interested in your icons than any kde4 or Compiz etc... Congratulates. Great job!

Hi, I'm an avid scrabble player and was wondering if you would consider creating an icon for the popular wordbiz application (isc.ro). They have a hideous icon, and it pains me having to use it with your beautiful work.

Thank you.

I can't think of using a different icon theme anymore. Faenza is the best!

Great job. Faenza is by far the prettiest icon set on Ubuntu!
I'd just like to request icons for 0 A.D., DOSBox, gucview and, if possible, less generic looking icons for GIMP, Shotwell, Cheese and Startup Disc Creator.

Can you consider adding proper gnome shell support to this wonderful icon set? Right now the theme doesn't change all the tray icons in the top right and uses incorrectly sized icons.

Hi, I'm using and loving your theme, it's really great! Would it be possible to add an icon for medit? This is the original icon (there seems to be no bigger image): http://ubuntu.allmyapps.fr/data/m/e/medit/icon_48x48_medit.png

Hello!

Thanks in advance for your great work!

It seems in Gnome 3 LibreOffice isn't affected by your icons, so i've edited its .desktop files and opening applications from launchers shows correct icons. But opening any mymetypes like .doc .xls etc.. uses original and low resolution icons. How can this be corrected?

Thx :)

Hi, first off. Love the icons. I'm using it with a modified Ambiance Revolution theme and it looks just brilliant on dark Toolbars. Now I'm using some software that has common icons which are not integrated so far. The icon that springs out for me the most is the "Save all open files" icon which I recognize from Geany but probably many other applications use. See this screenshot for reference what I mean.

Are you working on a replacement for that?

The other one that I marked is the "Open Color Picker" icon. I basically like the icon design and it's color but I would love a monochrome "hand" above the colored sections to fit in with the rest of the theme. But really I'm just nit-picking =)

Keep up the great work and let's see more brilliant eye candy in the future.

Great set of icons.

Just one thing missing- I would love to have an indication in the panel when my VPN is connected, as the Humanity icon theme does, for example. I have no idea how to fix this myself, any chance of a clue?

The VPN lock icon is definitely included in the Faenza set, but I don't think it's being referenced (missing symlink?).

I spent a bit of time diffing the files included with the stock ubuntu-mono-dark set and the Faenza set, and the VPN status file layout is definitely different. But then it started to hurt my brain and I gave up trying to find out exactly why the lock isn't displayed.

Hacky fix: Symlink the "status" subdirectory of the Faenza set to the ubuntu-mono-dark set:

~/.icons/Faenza-Dark/status -> /usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-dark/status

Thanks, NTolerance

Your hack worked. This set me on a slightly different track- I found all the icons with 'secure' in the name under 'status' in the Humanity icon set and copied them to the equivalent folder in Faenza/status.

Cheers

Well then. Your findings allowed me to drill down a bit further. This is the file that is missing:

~/.icons/Faenza-Dark/status/22/nm-device-wired-secure.png

Turns out that the connection + lock icons do not exist together in the same file as is required. So I found the individual files and put them together in this PNG:

http://i.imgur.com/vM9iW.png

Save it as the previously mentioned filename and it should be fixed.

Is there an official bugtracker for this icon set? I'd like to get this fix rolled into the next release.
