How do you install icons on Ubuntu? Can someone break down the process for me?
Solution 1:
Drag and drop the theme package in the Appearance Preferences window
(System->Preferences->Appearance
) Theme tab.
Solution 2:
To add a new icon theme, copy them into the hidden directory (control+h in nautilus to show hidden files) .icons
in your home directory.
You should then be able to select them from Appearance Preferences.
If you don't have a ~/.icons
directory, just create one.
Solution 3:
If you just want to change an individual icon you should do the following:
- Download a .png image
- Right click the icon you want to change
-
Go to Preferences and then click on the little image window on the upper left.
It will open a dialog where you can select the icon you wish to substitute for the old one.
