Icon-theme changes problem[SOLVED]

I have murrine-engine, aurora-engine installed. I have installed gtk-engine-equinox and are trying to use equinox-evolution theme with Faenza icon-theme. I had a nice desktop for a couple of days. Yesterday it reverted back to the original icon-theme. Now I cannot change the icon-theme at all. I don't get it. Why is it OK one day but not the next? I have the themes in /usr/share/themes and ~/.themes. Same with icons. Same icons in both directorys. I'm running x86_64 and gnome.
OK. Had to remove all other icon-themes from ~/.themes. Why is it so?

I know how to change themes using the method you described; however, the icon theme that is displayed is tango. I clearly chose tamiga, and the rox file in ~/.config points to the tamiga icon theme. So my question is why isn't the tamiga theme being used? Does it have something to with the inherits line in the icon cofig file? Is there some other problem? Some icon themes display correctly, but not others.
Thanks for trying!

XFCE icon theme confusion

I have a weird problem with my icons and XFCE. Some time ago my gedit icon in the taskbar had gone missing. After a while, I decided to erase my XFCE config and create a new and the icon was properly shown again. But during the time I configurated XFCE, it was again as a missing icon in the xfce taskbar. In the application menu the icon is shown correctly.
Furthermore, Midori shows at the position of the forward button the icon of rhythmbox's next button, but not always, just sometimes, depending on it's mood [Update: No, not depending on it's mood but if it's a shadowed or active button].
I guess my icon theme is somehow corrupted, but removing and reinstalling did not work (using 'gnome'). I also updated my icon cache without any change. If I change to another icon theme, the problem also remains.
Any suggestions?
[UPDATE] Yeah, I tried to remove my config again, but this time nothing was fixed by that.

Same issue here. Removing ~/.config doesn't help for me though.
It also effects other icons, for instance urvxt - whereas xfce4-terminal displays it correctly (both are using accessories-terminal)

Xfce4 Does Not change icon theme

Hi arch community,
I have installed xfce4, Liking it. But when I wanted to change the icons, I wanted to use the Cheser icon theme, so I followed the instuctions here:
http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/appearance
Under the icon section.
I could not change the icon theme, but I could change everything else such as fonts and gtk theme.
Here's what I have tried:
-Deleting ~/.config directory
-Log out, then back in.
-Changing the permissions of ~/.icons to username
-Rebooted
EDIT:
This was somehow solved by a hard reboot,because the logon manager failed to work,I think the cleanup removed/corruped one of the files, then changed my icons!
Call me crazy, but that's how I did it.

I am having the exact same problem. It is even worse because it has happened to me in class before.
The other day, after coming to class I opened up my MBP from sleep intending to work on some things for class. As a general practice I hit the mute key as soon as I open the Mac. This always worked well with my Powerbook. However the system did not mute and the connection noises from iChat played out. This upset the teacher who glared at me for the rest of the class.
This is not an isolated incident either. I have had the tool bar and the translucent icon disagree a number of times.
I have found that if I hit the mute key twice it will generally correct the problem. But it is annoying. I hope someone at Apple is listening (in more than one way it would seem)

The bottom part of my iPod Touch screen isn't responding but I can slide to unlock the screen and slide the icons at the bottom but I just can't click on them, anyway to solve this?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Icon theme problem

Hello. I have installed icewm, rox, gnome-icon-theme, and tango-icon-theme. I use rox filer to manage the icon the themes and desktop. The problem is that some icon themes display correctly (eg gtsand) and others don't (eg tamiga). In the case of tamiga, the tango icon theme is being used instead of the tamiga theme. Here's what I've tried:
1. installed tamiga icon theme to /usr/share/icons and ~/.icons (not at the same time)
2. checked to see that rox is using theme (~/.config/rox.soruceforge.net/ROX-Filer/options)
3. tried adding icon path to ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (I don't think rox uses this)
4. tried editing the "inherits" line in the index.theme file (Inherits=Tango,gnome,hicolor). when I switched the positions of tango and gnome, the gnome icon theme was used. added Gnome and GNOME.
5. browsed the forums
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for posts!
I have done all the steps, but real key was to reboot the system! Even pkill X didn't work. It's now solved.
To give users with the same issue a solution:
- Set icon-theme with lxappearance
- Be sure that gtk3.0/settings.ini has fallback and icon-theme the same value (not know if it really needed)
- Reboot! pkill X didn't work for me.
Thanks again.

[SOLVED] icon-theme.cache and post install

Hi all,
after a problem with an app (in this case RawTherapee) that requires uptodate icon-theme.cache files under /usr/share/icons/THEME - I just want to ask for your opinion: Is this a feature that should be provided by the icon-theme package post install?
For example, xfce4-icon-theme has
post_install() {
gtk-update-icon-cache -q -t -f usr/share/icons/Rodent
in it's xfce4-icon-theme.install,
while gnome-icon-theme and hicolor-icon-theme don't and require issueing gtk-update-icon-cache manually after installation/update.
So what do you think, does this call for a feature request?
Edit: Seems like I got the concept wrong and that a solution is not that simple / on the segfaulting programs side... see http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14237. Thx Jan for explaining.

Apparently gtk-update-icon-cache didn't accept that i had a .icon-theme.cache in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/. After removing it gtk-update-icon-cache apparently created a new file "icon-theme.cache" and doesn't complain anymore. The thing that is wierd about this is that on my other comp i have the .icon-theme.cache and it doesn't complain when upgrading.. Marking this solved anyway

[SOLVED] GNOME + play icon has changed

After the latest gnome updates (gnome-icon-theme 3.2.1-1), i noticed my play button (in my uber-cool Goggles Music Manager) looked funny. The play icon (shaped like an arrow) used to always point to the right, it now has changed directions and points to the left instead. You can see for yourself:
/usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/actions/media-playback-start.png
I wonder why and if I'm the only one annoyed by this...
Edit: Was fixed in gnome-icon-theme-3.2.1.2-1

[SOLVED] Key missing (faenza-icon-theme)

Hi,
When updating I encountered this message :
Erreur : faenza-icon-theme: key "F9E712E59AF5F22A" is unknown
:: Importation de la clé PGP 9AF5F22A, « Daniel Micay <[email protected]> », créée le 2012-12-06 ?
It asks to import the key.
It seems that the key is unknown, I've already refreshed the keys by
"sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys"
Is it safe to had this key ?
Is it always safe ?
Thank you in advance.

I've juste seen that archlinux-keyring needed to be updated too. Updating it before faenza-icon "solved the issue" without manually adding the key.
Thank you anyway.

After installing Windows 7 my desktop Adobe icons have change in appearance. How do I change them back?

After installing Windows 7 my desktop Adobe icons have change in appearance. How do I change them back?

The file icons is one on the change features MS removed from the Explorer options. Supposedly you can do the change with the registry, though I have not figured out that option. If you want to try, backup the registry first and then you might try the instructions at How to Change a File Type Icon in Windows 7 and Vista - The Winhelponline Blog. If the application icon is not correct, try to fix that before the approach above. Good luck and be careful (dealing with the registry can make your computer not work..

Change KDE Icon theme from XFCE

I just installed okular and some other KDE applications since the GNOME3 ones currently look pretty bad in my XFCE desktop. The GTK/QT themes are easy to get to match, but there's a KDE port of my icon theme, and I don't know how to change to it. Do I have to install KDE's control center / system settings program and if so what package is it part of or is there just some file I can hand edit?
Thanks.

Well, so far I figured out that the KDE control center is part of the kdebase-workspace package which brought in about 85MB of dependencies and other stuff. So I'd still prefer to find a textual solution, but when I tried diffing my .kde4 folder before and after, I got different results different times, so I'm still working on that. Will post if I figure anything out and perhaps whip upsome bash script to change it.

Lxappearance, Available Icon Themes: empty list. [SOLVED]

It is some time that many icons disappeared from my desktop.
I am using lxde and I was happy with the default icon theme, but after an update many icons simply do not appear (or are completely transparent).
I say `many' because it is irregular: in the menu there are the icons of programs, but the icons of categories (Office, Games, ...) are not; as the Desktop icon of `My Documents' that does not appear.
Using lxappearance I see that the icon theme list is empty, but I am sure I have the default theme and another I tried to install:
$ pacman -Q | grep icon
hicolor-icon-theme 0.11-1
oxygen-icons-svg 4.4.0-1
Still no avail, do anyone had similar problems? I sought via google, but I found nothing really related.

It worked fine, thanks a lot.
Moreover to anyone other: it seems lxde does not support svg at the moment.

GTK theme changing [SOLVED]

Hi! I recently shifted to openbox. Whenever I'm trying to change my themes [which I've extracted in ~/.themes ]

Do I need to edit something? I put my custon icon in gtkrc-2.0
gtk-icon-theme-name = "MaXo-ReMix"
and it works fine.
Also I have tried with gtk2_prefs and it changes the "preview" window perfectly, and when I click "apply" it says: Will overwrite ~/.gtkrc-2.0 , I click yes, but the theme doesn't change. Also the .gtkrc-2.0 file contains the same things I had written.

I'm having the same problem...it says that it upgraded (it says iPhoto 9.5 when I go into 'About iPhoto') and the new features seem to be there (when I click on share, I have the new option of ordering photo's like it shows in the pictures on the site, ordering a photo album, etc), but the main user interface is still the old one. Instead of having the new buttons on the bottom for Events, Faces, etc, I still have all of those on the old toolbar on the lefthand side...so confused haha.
