I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I've installed Faenza icons (version 1.3.1) and used the latest Ubuntu Tweak to apply the theme. However, Faenza icons are not fully applied and I can still see some icons have their old, system default appearance. How can I fix this?

Screenshot example:

enter image description here

You can see in the screenshot here the icons for Displays, Power, Time & Date, and Sound are stuck with Ubuntu's system default ones, and I don't want that.

  • I have tried logging in and out, restarting the system, and re-applying the icon theme but it did nothing to fix the issue.

Reset to default

If an app/config does not have a corresponding icon in the /usr/share/icons/Faenza* directories, it defaults to the originals which you are seeing.

For example, the 'User Accounts' corresponds to config-users.svg and the 'Universal Access' corresponds to access.svg.

It is likely that the icons for those bits are simply not there/were not created by the Faenza author. You can have a look through or raise a bug yourself on the Launchpad:

If you are feeling dedicated, you can create your own icons; then find out what names they correspond to in the ambience icons folder and save yours to the corresponding location in the Faenza folder.

  • I used Faenza icons since 12.04 and the icons for the originals I'm seeing right now are covered by the theme. Only now in 14.04 problems like this happens.

    That may indicate that the icon paths that the settings window is looking for has changed which isn't unusual between version. I haven't looked through the source code to say enough so don't quote me on that. :)

    so is there any way I can make the icon path normal and the theme to work perfectly?

you can change them manually.

  1. the installed faenza icons are located in /usr/share/icons/Faenza
  2. from terminal: gedit /usr/share/applications/yourappname.desktop
  3. change the Icon=yourappname to Icon=/usr/share/icons/Faenza/yourappname and save!
