lightdm-gtk-greeter power and settings indicator show no icon

Question

I installed Ubuntu mini 12.10 and then I did apt-get install lxde-core lightdm-gtk-greeter.

I successfully changed the LightDM screen resolution editing the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and adding display-setup-script=xrandr -s 1280x720.

How to add an image for the power and settings icons in the lightdm-gtk-greeter screen? Right now, it looks like this:

Add this to your lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf or lightdm-gtk-greeter-ubuntu.conf file:

[greeter]
icon-theme-name=Humanity

I tried adding these lines to /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf. Not fixed yet. I'm assuming there should be icon files somewhere for this theme to work and I'm not having them in my disk. I already have theme-name=Ambiance in the file so, I tried adding icon-theme-name=Ambiance. That also did not help. Have any idea where these icon files are supposed to be located for the theme to work? Or can we add a new theme manually? meanwhile, let me also look for the documentation if there is any.

The icon theme, should be in /usr/share/icons.

Thanks for the quick reply, I see only 2 folders here, hicolor and nuoveXT2. Is that normal? Note: I installed bare minimum OS using ubuntu-12.04.1-alternate-i386.iso

Then install humanity-icon-theme or use a custom like nuoveXT2.
