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.

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]

Thank you for the best Icon Theme ever.

Only the new Chromium Icon is ugly, I always have to move it chromium-browser2.svg to chromium-browser.svg

I would love to see Faenza icon for "Pinta" - http://pinta-project.com/ and maybe for TeamSpeak3.
And why Geany has wired blue icon instead of http://www.geany.org/images/geany.png?

Brasero isn't a monochrome icon when I'm writing a cd. Look here http://upload.centerzone.it/images/00477942704822482680.png

I use the indicator-applet

I know it may be a lot to ask but is there any chance you might do a monochrome version? I'm including a link to what I had in mind...

Yes, I second that. The generic icon for Mathematica is awful next to all these nice Faenza ones

Awesome set. Wish the gnome team would adopt it as default.

My single request: Basket Note Pads.

I can't survive without this program, and for now I've just ln'd the tomboy icon, but it'd be great to have a specific basket icon.

thx.

I came over this icon set by accident, because of a guy running a "Nub" theme with this icon set. It's extremely nice and the "boxing" of icons make them all fit together very nicely.

I always make a symbolic link from gnome-glchess to scid - any chance of Scid having it's own icon? (Or ln -s as standard!)
Tremendous theme, although I find the Iceweasel icon a little of an eyesore - the Firefox icons are superb(!), possibly a new Iceweasel icon?

After upgrading to the latest version using the PPA, I can't find the new "Faenza-Darker".

Report

OK, I've downloaded and extracted the archive from the PPA and Faenza-Darker is not there. However, I can see it in the archive downloaded from DeviantArt...
