themes – How to Merge Two Icon Sets

iconsthemes

I want to merge the standard Ubuntu Mono icon set and the Faenza icon set. I would like to keep the standard Ubuntu icons in the panel (including icons for the likes of Dropbox, file transfers etc.) and replace all the other application icons with the Faenza versions.

How would I go about this?

Edit this file below with your favourite text editor

/usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-(which mono set you want)/index.theme

and put Faenza at the start of the inherits line.

Here's a possible method for doing this:

Copy the folder containing the Faenza Icons to ~/.icons
Edit the index.theme file using gedit to inherit from the ubuntu mono icon set (for the panel), humanity, have a new name and comment, and to only point to the /app folders:

[Icon Theme]
Name=Faenza Humanity
Inherits=ubuntu-mono-dark,humanity,hicolor
Comment=Custom Faenza + Humanity Theme for Jorge Castro
Directories=apps/16,apps/22,apps/24,apps/32,apps/48,apps/scalable

[apps/16]
Size=16
Context=Apps
Type=fixed

[apps/22]
Size=22
Context=Apps
Type=fixed

[apps/24]
Size=24
Context=Apps
Type=fixed

[apps/32]
Size=32
Context=Apps
Type=fixed

[apps/48]
Size=48
Context=Apps
Type=fixed

[apps/scalable]
Size=96
Context=Apps
Type=Scalable
MinSize=64
MaxSize=128

Now select the new theme in gnome-appearance-properties.
