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.

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.

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!
