Ubuntu – Faenza / Ubuntu Mono power icon problems

11.10iconspower-cogthemes

Im having problems applying a new icon theme in ubuntu 11.10 specifically with the power icon. Ive installed faenza succesfully, and the gnome tweak tool to change the icons, but the power icon doesnt seem to be updating:

Incorrect power icon

No matter what i change the icon theme to now, i cant seem to get the power icon to return to the default one, let alone the faenza one. Any suggestions where im going wrong?

I had this problem too. I prefer the Faenza-Dark variant but has a rubbish battery icon like in your screenshot. If you used the ppa to install the icons then you should have a Faenza-Ambiance/Radiance theme to choose which fixes it, but as I prefer the -Dark variant I had to make a custom version. What I did was copied Faenza-Dark to another folder like Faenza-Custom sudo cp -r /usr/share/icons/Faenza-Dark /usr/share/icons/Faenza-Custom
Then edit it. sudo nano /usr/share/icons/Faenza-Custom/index.theme delete everything in it and paste in this

[Icon Theme]  
Name=Faenza-Custom  
Inherits=Faenza  
Comment=Icon theme project with tilish style, by Tiheum

Directories=status/22,stock/22  

[status/22]  
Size=22  
Context=Status  
Type=Fixed  

[stock/22]  
Size=22  
Context=stock  
Type=Fixed

then use gnome-tweak-tool to choose the Faenza-Custom theme and it will have the fixed battery icon
