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

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

Thanks for adding the Faenza-Darkest icons! Now I don't need to rely on 3rd party icons anymore. :)

Something you may have overlooked are the 16×16px network strength icons. These are still black.

I'm using Faenza on Xfce and I spotted some possible fixes :
- for xfce-notes-plugin : you could add a symbolic link to tomboy-panel.png, in /status folders ;
- for xfce-clipman-plugin : I don't know how other clipboards managers are handled by Faenza-Dark, but my clipman applet display a black icon (probably actions/edit-paste.png), which does not look good on a dark panel (like the Equinox one). Maybe there's some trick with symbolic links you can pull out to use the Faenza-Darkest white icon for the panel, without changing the paste icon on all toolbars. The Elementary-mono-dark theme uses a /panel folder, but that may not be 100% standards-compliant.

Love love love this set. Great job, and I wish it were standard. Thank you for putting it together.

Just my 2cent but I think the Nautilus icon would look more stylish if it flowed out of the frame on a couple sides like the current firefox icons do... or if it was zoomed way in on the center of the shell, falling out of frame on all sides, kinda like your original firefox icon did.

Anyways, keep up the good work. It's pretty impressive.

Hi!
Thanks for this great icon theme! After updating a few days ago, there's a missing notification icon for empathy im. Is it possible to fix this?
Also the new icon for empathy doesn't look as good as the former one.

hi tiheum,

I wanted to let you know, that I love your icons and that I am going along with them for quite a while now. So I would like to know, if there will also be a package for Ubuntu natty??? This would be great.

So please continue this nice ppa-repository (yes, I use your ppa-repsotory here in LinuxMint ubuntubased) also for the future distros of Ubuntu. This would be nice from you because I don't want to miss your icons!!!

Greetings
Karmicbastler

edit: I also sent you an email referring to this.

Guake icon isn't working except system tray. It's still using the icon under pixmaps/guake.

And also gshutdown, screenlets and gwget are ostensibly missing for me. On the other hand it's great work.

Have you read the 4th point in the known issues ?

You have to modify two files: /usr/share/applications/guake.desktop and /usr/share/applications/guake-prefs.desktop

Yes I realized we need to change all of them manually. Then I scanned the other apps again. In addition to my first comment, here my feedbacks:

*libreoffice(or ooo) starter icon (it's easy, just changing color of one of them ),

*linker gnomebaker to burner icon,

*netbeans icon color look different.
http://www.cgshader.com/sites/cgshader/files/jogl/series/NetBeansOpenGLPackLogo160_0.png
This type of color would be nicer.

*I think older chrome icons better.

*inkscape and gimp icons look similiar at first glance. You can use more black in inkscape.

That all I had.

I like the icons! But one issue disturbs me slightly --- icon of Indicator Applet Session. It looks a bit blurred. In the dark variant of icons it looks fine. Could you repair this issue?

If there's not an icon for a program that you use alot and you want it to match, right click on Applications > Edit Menus, find your application. Double-Click on it. Click on the current icon, navigate to /usr/share/icons/Faenza (or Faenza-light, Faenza-dark). You're presented with a with a few folders: actions, apps, extras, places, status. Inside each folder is a sub-folder called "scaleable". In the "scaleable" folders is a range of higher def icons. Just choose one which you are not currently using and you can apply it to the application that you DO frequent. Just a tip from a noob :)

This is easily the best icon theme. I'd just like to request the beige nautilus icon get generalised for those of us on LXDE or XFCE. Thanks for all your work!!

I can't get the IBus mono icon to work in the Gnome panel. It should be displaying the mono 22x22 ibus.png but it's still showing the blue "i" icon.

Hello.
When using Faenza-Dark, the panel icon for parcellite is the black icon from the Faenza theme, instead of a white one.
I'm using latest PPA version.

Gnome-Shell uses "symbolic icons" in the system status area for bluetooth, the laptop battery, presence etc. They're supposed to be monochromatic as far as I know. Since the shell panel is black by default, I use the Faenza-Dark theme with supposedly light panel icons - still the shell's status icons are dark and barely recognizable. The g-s developers told me Faenza is somehow missing the light "symbolic icons" so that the dark ones appear in the status area.

Could you investigate into this? I'd be happy to test changes if you don't use gnome-shell.

hi Dear,
I am currently testing the new LMDE-Distribution on my Notebook. I love these Faenza-Icons and so I am searching for an Howto to know how to install this in LMDE.

Can you help with this?
