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?

blank icons, theme not working [saying problem with Metacity] gnome-terminal doesn't show the menus etc..
it also says problem with gnome-settings-daemon
I have mouse speed problems and keyboard problems [don't do the repeated [have to press to time BACKSPACE to delete 2 letters instead of just holding for a while..]
i hope that this get fixed soon, because it's irritating
good luck anyways

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.
Check https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=160363

Re-add Gnome Icon to fallback mode "Applications" menu

Hello,
I'm trying to re-add the gnome icon to the fallback mode "Applications" menu. Currently, the menu only has "Applications" with no gnome foot to the left of it (like how gnome 2 was laid out):
Can anyone suggest how to re-add this icon? I've looked through my theme files but can't seem to find anything relating to the applications menu.
Thanks!

It's a bug in gnome-themes-standard:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687314
Until it is not fixed, you have the following options:
- Revert the patch and rebuild gnome-themes-standard.
- Downgrade to gnome-themes-standard 3.6.0.
- Switch to another GTK+ theme.

[SOLVED] Xfce4 notification area & gnome icons

I have in notification area loaded gnome icons for sound and bluetooth and it's look like that:
http://tinypic.com/r/2nvwab4/6
I tried change the icon style in gnome-tweak-tool reload X several times but I'm still seeing ugly black icons and I have no idea how to fix it.
Have any of you same problem? Or even better solution for it?

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

Force gnome icons in openbox

What should happen:
Openbox comes up, generic gnome icon theme is used, and it stays that way.
What actually happens:
Openbox comes up, generic gnome icon theme is used, then after using certain applications a no-brand-name icon theme is used.
How can I force gnome icons to stay the default?
Edit: I believe it has something to do with a ~/gtkrc-2.0 file, of which I do not have.

Now my icons in GDM and GNOME are missing. The icons in the top panel are not monochrome anymore and the Shell Overview and Web are missing all their icons. Plus they are crashing repeadedly.
Is it possible that this has something to do with the old kernel? Or is this another problem? What does the line
[2013-03-29 10:40] g_module_open() failed for /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-svg.so: libicule.so.50: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
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.

Unable to install new gnome icons.

For some reason I'm unable to install new icon themes in gnome. I download the tar file and extract it to the .icons folder, but when I go to the "customize theme" settings it doesn't have the new icons... This is the same way that I've installed new icons with every other distro, but for some reason it's not working here... Have I missed something?

Umm .. Creating PKGBUILD could fix a *broken* theme ?
No, but if you use PKGBUILD you wouldn't end up with a broken package.
@OP
Can you please post a link to the icon theme you are trying to use?

Some lazy people do ignore the packaging rules and provide broken icon packages, so just extracting the contents to .icons might not be enough. The real icons folder might be a sub-folder in the tar archive's root or something like that, and you need to cp that folder into .icons.
I've tried the drag 'n drop method as well, but when I drag my tarball in to the customize theme window, it doesn't stick, it just goes right back into the downloads folder.

Gnome icons problem

Hello,
I've recently installed Arch on my new laptop. I'm using gnome. I can't see the icon of Eclipse in 'Applications' menu. It's not a serious problem for me, but i like, when my Arch works perfect.
Today I've installed some KDE apps (from official repo) and I can't see icons at all. No icons in gnome menu, no icons in toolbars and menus.
I think there's a problem with default paths for icons in gnome. I have this problem on two computers (on both Arch was installed in last week).
Edit:
Eclipse: Icon path in eclipse.desktop is /usr/share/eclipse/icon.xpm - there's no such file.
After installing kdebase-runtime I can see icons in toolbars and menus (and applications looks better). It's interesting, that kdebase-runtime is not required by some KDE packages (for example kdegames ).
I'm still working on icons in Gnome menu.

All those problems should be solved by the upcoming KDE 4.1.2.
but is the missing eclipse button really a kde related issue? (i´m using gnome)
btw. some other icons such as the one for vidalia (gui for controlling tor) are missing too

[SOLVED]Gnome icon themes - folder icons

I think it belongs here.
I made some folder icons for retrofukation icons theme and tried to apply them as documents, music etc. folder icons, but did not succeed. Then I thought the theme was written wrong, and tried to apply 100% working (in that u-distro) Humanity theme, but with the same effect.
Then I updated the system, but nothing happened.
Then I googled for a while, but found nothing worth reading - maybe because of bad search query...
Anyway, does anyone know how to make 'places' icons work?
//I run a standalone wm and use lxappearance. When I downloaded and tried gnome-control-center, it did not help as well.
P.S. The icons:

Yes, that works just fine, thank you! xdg-user-dirs was not installed, because I did not install the whole gnome. I installed it and updated the directories (xdg-user-dirs-update) and now the icons look just like I want.
But I have a couple of folders (like ~/Distros or ~/Source) for which I would like to set custom icons too.
So I have ~/.icons/retrofukation/scaled/places/folder-source.png and ~/Source directory. Any chance to set an icon for it?

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?

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.

Some Gnome icons (title bar) are missing (fresh install)

I've just installed Arch base and base-devel (64 bits), intel-ucode, xorg, nvidia driver, gnome and started gdm:

Same problem here. However this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=178290 fixed my system ( I also had error messages from journalctl related to svg format not recognized). As the thread says, I basically just had to reinstall a package with "pacman -S gdk-pixbuf2" and then everything worked. I don't know why, because that packaged was already installed.

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.

[SOLVED]Gnome 3.10 Icons are broken

I upgraded earlier to Gnome 3.10. Although I've had a lot of problems.. I'm working on them one at a time.
Most of the default icons are not showing anymore. My Nautilus looks like this:
Some of the applications icons do still exist.
If I create a new user and log in, the icons are all fine. But I cannot figure out how to bring back icons on my own user account.
I tried running the command on http://askubuntu.com/questions/56313/ho … e-defaults, which set my favourites and wallpaper back to default. Icons still aren't fixed.
I tried running gtk-update-icon-cache on my icons folder. Tried running xdg-user-dirs-update. Tried sudo pacman -S $(pacman -Ssq gnome-icon-theme). Tried running /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache and tried reinstalling librsvg. None of these have helped.
Thanks.

Not solved for me I'm afraid. I'm running Openbox + Tint2 setup, with quite a few Gnome applications. I use the Oxygen icon theme.
Since the upgrade to the Gnome 3.10 packages, my GTK3 applications have missing icons which only reappear if I choose the GNOME icon theme using lxappearance, which modifies ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini. Here's my normal settings.ini:
[Settings]
gtk-theme-name=Clearlooks-Phenix
gtk-icon-theme-name=oxygen
gtk-font-name=Arimo 9
gtk-cursor-theme-name=aero-drop
gtk-cursor-theme-size=0
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH_HORIZ
gtk-toolbar-icon-size=GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU
gtk-button-images=1
gtk-menu-images=1
gtk-enable-event-sounds=1
gtk-enable-input-feedback-sounds=1
gtk-xft-antialias=1
gtk-xft-hinting=1
gtk-xft-hintstyle=hintfull
gtk-xft-rgba=rgb
When 'gtk-icon-theme-name=gnome' is used instead, the icons display in GTK3 applications.
Any ideas please how I can get the Oxygen theme to play nicely with Gnome 3.10 applications?

[Solved] Gnome 3 Shell - Icons Missing After Update

After my last update session, some icons went missing in Gnome. Even more unsettling, only some are missing. From what I can tell, my application icons haven't gone anywhere, but things such as minimize, restore, close, etc. are 404. Here's a photo to explain: https://vps.nullh.net/uploads/gnome-icon-issue.png I also noticed nvidia is included in the last update. I searched the forums, but all of the other problems seemed to be different problems (e.g. application icons were all bunched up/missing, desktop icons "missing", etc.) I feel like I should probably have more icons in the folders, too, but I haven't looked in there before the problem to be sure. Also, Alt+F2 "r" doesn't make a difference, the shell reloads but the icons are still AWOL. If anyone has any ideas, I am all ears.
