I'm running gnome3 on Ubuntu 12.04 and my dolphin looks like this:

Dolphin on gnome-shell

I really don't like these oxygen themed icons and want to use the Faenza icons.

I tried backing up the oxygen icons and downloading a version of Faenza for KDE and then making a sym link from Faenza to oxygen like:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/icons/Faenza-KDE /usr/share/icons/oxygen

but nothing changed??!?!

So where are QT apps pulling their icons from?!?!

  • If you are referring to qt4-qtconfig tool than that does not have icon functions. Can you give me the name of the package to install? Does it have a GUI interface? Aug 10, 2012 at 1:27

    No it is not qt4-qtconfig, but I forgot the exact package name, just search for system settings in usc, It will appear in the top list

The KDE System Settings changes those Icons: sudo apt-get install systemsettings will install it.

From there go to Application Appearance>Icons.

If you don't want to install all the dependencies and just need to change the icons, you may already have the neccessary component installed:

kcmshell4 icons

Works great for changing toolbar icons in kde apps.

EDIT: Unfortunately, for qt5 apps you need kcmshell5, the icons module for that is included in the plasma-desktop package, which has a sh*tload of dependencies... :(

  1. Install packages:
    • Fedora 33: sudo dnf install qt5ct qt5-qtstyleplugins
    • Ubuntu 20.10: sudo apt install qt5ct qt5-style-plugins (untested by author)
  2. Edit /etc/enviroment to contain a line QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
  3. Reboot
  4. Open “Qt5 settings” („Qt5-Einstellungen“ in German, command qt5ct)
  5. Configure the appearence as needed
  6. Launch your Qt5 application
