+1 Nice answer. I had look trough other threads here and finally found this one. It was helpful for me– JustasAug 4, 2011 at 6:43
To add a new icon theme, copy them into the hidden directory (control+h in nautilus to show hidden files) .icons in your home directory.
You should then be able to select them from Appearance Preferences.
If you don't have a ~/.icons directory, just create one.
If you just want to change an individual icon you should do the following:
- Download a .png image
- Right click the icon you want to change
Go to Preferences and then click on the little image window on the upper left.
It will open a dialog where you can select the icon you wish to substitute for the old one.

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! It would be great if you could add some screenshots to make it easier to follow your instructions. Feb 8, 2012 at 16:15
