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]

Could you add MuseScore?

The icon is already Faenza-ish, but the all white is horrible to look at.

Thank you!

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?

I think you could simply download the file, extract it wherever and extact both Faenza and Faenza-Dark .tar.gzs on ~/.icons.

Any chance to get sources? At least xcf files for icons with gloss?

Icons are ugly! and they don't really fit :/

them and the mouse icon (as shown in Compiz Config) - just don't seem to fit :(

The two first icons I mentioned are especially ugly. Otherwise I love the theme for the most part, but those just kill it for me :/
