Faience new gnome 3 icon theme for Ubuntu/Linux Mint
Tiheum, who is best known for the
Faenza icon theme and
Equinox GTK themes has started working on a new icon theme for GNOME 3 / GNOME Shell called "Faience". The theme is work in progress (this is the first public release) and it currently depends on the original Faenza for many icons, but it looks really promising and it already comes with 3 folder color variations.
Tiheum is also working on a GNOME Shell and GTK2/3 theme which will complete the "Faience" pack. The GTK2/3 theme is not yet available but you can already use the Faience GNOME Shell theme:
To install Faenza icon theme open Terminal (Press
Alt+F2 and type:
gnome-terminal -or- Press
Ctrl+Alt+T) and copy the following commands in the Terminal:
Terminal Commands:
|
|---|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tiheum/equinox
|
sudo apt-get update
|
sudo apt-get install faenza-icon-theme
|
Faience is not yet available in the above PPA so to install it,
download the archive and copy all the 3 folders (Faience, Faience-Azur and Faience-Ocre) to the ~/.icons directory (if this folder doesn't exist, create it), then use GNOME Tweak Tool to apply the icon theme:
Faience GNOME Shell theme
To use the Faeience GNOME Shell theme, download it from
HERE, extract it to the ~/.themes folder and use GNOME Tweak Tool to apply it. If for whatever reason you don't want to use GNOME Tweak Tool (like... you can't install the user-theme extension which is required by this feature), just remove all the files under /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme and copy the Faience GNOME Shell theme files to this folder.
