The new "Workspace" icon is very similar the "Terminal" icon and I prefer the older icon. How can I change it?
P.S.: Sorry for my English ;-)
In a gnome-terminal
do:
Backup the old icon:
sudo mv /usr/share/icons/unity-icon-theme/apps/48/workspace-switcher.png{,.bak}
Convert the old icon from SVG to PNG and place it in the correct directory (this needs the convert
program from the imagemagick
package, which is not installed by default):
sudo convert -background None /usr/share/icons/Humanity/apps/48/gnome-panel-workspace-switcher.svg /usr/share/icons/unity-icon-theme/apps/48/workspace-switcher.png
Update the theme's icon cache:
sudo update-icon-caches /usr/share/icons/unity-icon-theme
Restart unity
(unity &)
The downside: whenever the icon theme gets updated, you'd need to repeat that process.
Enjoy!
If you change your icon theme, it usually changes that icon as well. Personally I use an older version of the humanity theme along with the one in 11.04. To achieve the same thing, you can copy the theme from an older install (or a Live CD for example).
If you need it, I can link to the older theme (optionally), or even tell you to make a custom theme that will keep all of the new icons (and remain updated) while using the old icon (leave me a comment and I will update my answer).
There is an easier way that doesn't involve converting and things like that.
you can simply set a customized icon in /usr/share/applications
.
I explained it in my blog in detail.
