Changing Gnome Icons...

Seems a daft question but in Appearance there is no option to change icons ?
Or have I gone completely mad lol
MrG

Greetings,
I have another question. How to change GTK theme icons, using config files. I have changed my theme, and font, using ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and ~/.gtkrc.mine files, but can I change icons as well somehow. I am using fluxbox, and I do now want to instal XFCE in order to use xfce-mcs-manager for changing my icon theme.
Thank you.

Keep customized icon after changing gnome icon themes

Is that possible under current gnome2.6? Thanks in advance.

Oh, thanks, but I think you mean to customize icon themes. I am sorry I don't explain very clearly, I mean when I choose a picture as my folder's looking, say, a post for my movie stored folder- I do like the feature - but if I changed my icon theme in the theme section, the customized looking of my folder is gone, so can I keep it not changed? I can change my desktop icon and keep it no matter how I changed my icon theme, but in nautilus I can't do so. Is there any way to do so? Thanks.

Gnome: changing application icon size

Before gnome 3.10,according to wiki, to change app icon size it was necessary to edit "/usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css".
From upgrading to 3.10 and now with 3.12,it seems it doesn't work anymore and so I have to keep large icons on my shell.
has anyone experienced the same issue?

If you downsize the panel, the icons will be downsized too..
There is also the drawer applet, which can contain the icons...

Openbox - Gnome-icons wont change anymore... Reason: Gnome update?

I recently upgraded all my packages and among them was a new Gnome-build. I decided to actually check how Gnome looks in the new version and installed 'gnome' and 'gnome-extra' from the repositories.
Now after rebooting my computer the icon theme I have specified in ~/.gtkrc.mine does not work anymore (Crashbit, if you wanna know). This is pretty weird, as for instance the default 'Tango' theme doesn't work either - only the, say, functional Gnome icon theme is displayed.
Anyone with similar issues?
I have no clue about how to fix this...
EDIT: So I just started a gnome-Session and edited the theme via the 'Appearance manager' (heck do I know how it's called....) and chose Crashbit- and see! For some reason the icon theme in my openbox-session changed too... Now this is rather odd, as ~/.gtkrc-2.0 says that ~/.gtkrc.mine is supposed to be imported, and that one states "Tango" as a theme.
I suppose that the information about which icons to use is stored someplace else (damn I am smart!). Any ideas?

mean?
Icu was upgraded from 0.50 to 0.51.1 , you probably have packages (could be from AUR) that are build against the old icu version and need to be rebuild.

Change Gnome Menu Icon [SOLVED]

Hello,
I have been able to change the main menu icon in Gnome in several other distributions running gnome 2.22 (Fedora, Debian, etc) and had no issues. The method I have always used is copy the custom icon to /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/places/start-here.png. I have not been successful with this in Arch. I also tried copying to the 22x22 directory and also using the GConf method (apps > panels > objects > Use_Custom_Icon...). No luck so far. I'm totally up to date with all my stuff (gnome 2.22.2), so if anyone knows a good method, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Here's how I did it...
Assuming you're using Gnome's default icon theme:
1. Replace /usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/places/start-here.png with your icon of choice.
2. If the theme's icon cache was previously generated (/usr/share/icons/gnome/icon-theme.cache), you can either re-generate it using the following command
# gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/gnome
or you can just delete it (the cache is supposed to speed up GTK apps' access to the icons).
3. Restart X or # killall gnome-panel to see the change.
That's what I had to do too, but it feels like the wrong way. It should be possible to change it through the configuration editor. A bug perhaps?
Edit: Replacing the icon file was not possible with the default icon theme. However, it works on other themes.

Changing the icon that appears in GNOME panel window list

I've been playing around changing all my icons and stuff, but I can't figure out how to change the icon that appears in the GNOME window list, a bit like a favicon. I've changed the icon path in the application's entry in /usr/share/applications, but that had no effect. Does anyone know how to do this? I'm hoping it's not hard-coded into applications.

The location of the icon used can be different for each program. So what program specifically did you want to change?

Gnome icon themes not changing the icons

ok, so i go to the gnome website and download an icon theme and let the theme installer do its thing and apply the new theme, but none of the icons change on some themes and a few do on others. do i have to manually change each icon by hand? if there is a built in installer is it something that the icon theme has wrong?

bump...anyone?

Legacy GNOME icons

Hi,
is there a way to use old classic GNOME icon theme 2.14? I've downloaded it from GNOME FTP and installed, but since this theme was used the approach to icon display changed (no icons for particular file types, icons grouped into office, text etc).
I've posted the problem long time ago http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=56743, but there is more to do.
Even if I try to manually copy the icons from GNOME 2.14 for example to Tango theme, there would be problem, because there is no mapping to some icons that were used in 2.14.
How to manage this?

When I switched from gnome to xfce, I replaced the sound menu with volumeicon and pavucontrol. As for bluetooth, I use bluemon now.

Is there a way to change the icon associated with icloud account?

Is there a way to change the icon associated with my iCloud account? It's currently a rose and i do not like it.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Are you referring to your iCloud account picture or your user picture?
It looks like you are referring to your user picture. To change it, open System Preferences > Users & Groups, press the picture box and choose the user picture you want from the ones that came by default. If you want to select a different picture stored on your Mac, drag that photo onto the picture box.
If you want to change your iCloud account picture, open http://www.icloud.com and log in with your Apple ID. Then, press your name at the top right of the site and press the user picture. If you put the cursor on the picture box, you will see a button at the top of the box to change your picture

How I change the icon for iTunes songs?

When I drag iTunes songs onto my desktop the icon is white with a gray iTunes icon. How can change this icon for all of my iTunes songs?

Thanks Patrick. I used Control-Click on the actual audio file on my desktop opened the Show View Options menu and turned off the icon preview option. That changed my icons from gray with a white background to red with a white background which is exactly what I wanted. You pointed me in the right direction. Appreciate it.

Change .pdf icons to generic icon instead of preview image

How can I change the icon of a .pdf on the desktop to the more generic red and white Adobe logo instead of the little preview picture? With the old-style icon it's easy to determine what's a .pdf - with everything a little preview now (which is too small to tell anything, at least for me) I have to actually read the file name to see what type of file it is.
Not the end of the world but it would be nice to change.
thanks

What app do you want your PDF files to open with when they are double-clicked?
If you click on the Desktop, type Command-J, and in the Desktop's view-options window uncheck the box for "Show icon preview," you will convert all the Desktop icons to whatever image the default "Open with" app has provided. If you have set Adobe Reader as the default app for PDF files, the icon will look like this:
!http://i55.tinypic.com/2r4hf6p.jpg!
If you have set Preview as the default app, the icon will look like this:
!http://i51.tinypic.com/264noea.jpg!
I don't know of an automatic way to have PDF files display an Adobe icon and still have them open in Preview when double-clicked.

When I click on a link in an RSS feed it used to indicate that I'd viewed that particular link by changing the icon to the left of the link. It doesn't do that anymore. [SOLVED]

When I click on a link in an RSS feed it used to indicate that I'd viewed that particular link by changing the icon to the left of the link. It doesn't do that anymore. This started happening right around the time I updated to Firefox 4, but may have been a little before that too. For some things, like news and web comics it's just a little annoying. For important things like looking for new journal articles for my job, it literally makes my job more difficult. So fixing this would make my day.

I seem to have solved my own problem. When I disabled the add-on "Tab Renamizer" everything started working fine.

Change Dock Icons on OS 10.8.5

Hi Mac Community!
For all of us Mac lovers, the one thing we are fascinated with is the fact that Mac in notorious for giving the end user the power to personalize the computer's look and feel, as well as making commands extremely user friendly.
This is not what I get from the last update to OS 10.8.5
I want to change the icons on my dock, as I should being that I am the owner of a fairly expensive piece of equipment, but this seems impossible to do for the Finder icon. Is there any way this can be done without causing any problems in the system?
Any ideas are appreciated! THANKS!

You want to change the Finder icon or you want to remove the Finder icon from the dock. You weren't clear on that point

How to change the icon for print dialog?

Hello,
I have a JTable, and with the print() method, I'm able to bring up the Print dialog and successfully print the contents of the table. Example:
myTable.print( JTable.PrintMode.FIT_WIDTH, myHeaderFormat, myFooterFormat );This works great, but one small detail I'd like to change is the icon in the top-left corner of the dialog. The icon is currently the default Java coffee cup icon, while the rest of my application uses my custom icon. I couldn't find any documentation in the API or tutorials that Java has listed which shows how to change the icon, so I'm not even sure if it's possible (but why shouldn't it be?).
My question is this: Is it possible to change the default icon in the print dialog? Or do I have to either make my own print dialog somehow, or use a third-party print dialog?
Thanks

tjacobs01: Appreciate the assistance (despite your sass). I've already searched the API, tutorials, and this forum. I'm already well aware of the setIconImage() method for JFrame -- after all, that's how I set the icon for my other frames as I previously mentioned. However, I want to set the icon for the print dialog called from the print() method of JTable.
How would I use setIconImage() for the print() method of JTable? The print() method returns a boolean value, not a JFrame, so I'm just not sure how to implement what you're saying.
Thanks
