Humanity Icons Colors: 8 Different Colors For Humanity Icon Theme

A while back we've posted an article about Ambiance & Radiance Colors, a theme pack that provides Ambiance and Radiance available in 8 different colors. Well, since then matching GNOME Shell themes were added and the GTK themes got some fixes from Light Themes Evolved, like a dark sidebar for Nautilus or unified menu and titlebar.

The themes are beautiful, but a theme pack is not really complete unless you have a matching icon theme, so Jared, the Ambiance & Radiance Colors Theme Pack author, has released a recolord Humanity Icon theme called "Humanity Icons Colors", which comes in 8 colors, with support for both dark and light panels: blue,  graphite, green, orange, pink, red, yellow and purple.

And of course, the new icons look great with Ambiance & Radiance Colors. Here are a few screenshots:

Update: Ubuntu users can install Humanity Icon Colors theme using the RAVEfinity PPA (which also provides Ambiance & Radiance Colors):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ravefinity-project/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install humanity-colors

To apply one of the Humanity Icons Colors themes, use GNOME Tweak Tool or Ubuntu Tweak.

For other Linux distributions: download Humanity Icons Colors via Gnome-Look.

Thanks to Jared for the tip!

AwOken Icon Theme 2.2 Brings Gnome Shell Tray Icons Support, More

AwOken, an amazing Gnome (works great with both Gnome 2 and Gnome 3) icon theme was updated yesterday, getting support for Gnome Shell tray icons. The new version (2.2) also comes with fully revamped audio, network, battery and arrow icons as well as 371 new small size icons and some new/revamped icons.

Here are a few screenshots:

The theme comes with a customization script so you can select how the folder, home, trash and other icons look from a huge list (for instance there are about 42 folder icons you can choose from):

Installation - Ubuntu

AwOken comes with an Ubuntu PPA, but the latest version hasn't been uploaded to the PPA yet. Update: the latest AwOken is available in the PPA for Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10 and 11.04 - add the PPA and install it using the commands below:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alecive/antigone

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install awoken-icon-theme

For Ubuntu 11.10, you can manually download the Natty .deb from HERE.

Once installed, run the following command in a terminal to start the customization script:

awoken-icon-theme-customization

Manual installation

1. Download AwOken icon theme 2.2 from DeviantArt, extract the downloaded archive and the two resulting archives and place the "AwOken" and "AwOkenDark" folders in the ~/.icons directory (if it doesn't exist, create it).

2. To be able to use the customization script, run the commands below:

sudo apt-get install zenity imagemagick

cd ~/.icons

sudo cp AwOken/awoken-icon-theme-customization /usr/bin

sudo cp AwOken/awoken-icon-theme-customization-clear /usr/bin

sudo cp AwOkenDark/awoken-icon-theme-customization-dark /usr/bin

awoken-icon-theme-customization

The first command above will install Zenity and Imagemagick, required by the AwOken customization script. The last command runs the script.

After you finish the customization, the script will ask you if you want to apply the AwOken icon set - this is actually not working if you're using Gnome 3 (at least that was the case in my test). To apply it in Gnome 3, use GNOME Tweak Tool (available in the Ubuntu 11.10 repositories).

Download AwOken icon theme

Thanks to UbuntuLife for the news!

Faience: New GNOME 3 Icon Theme By Tiheum

Tiheum, who is best known for the Faenza icon theme and Equinox GTK themes has started working on a new icon theme for GNOME 3 / GNOME Shell called "Faience". The theme is work in progress (this is the first public release) and it currently depends on the original Faenza for many icons, but it looks really promising and it already comes with 3 folder color variations.

(Faience Azur)

(Faience Ocre)

Faience icon theme is especially designed for GNOME Shell so it's not recommended to use it with Unity / GNOME 2.

Tiheum is also working on a GNOME Shell and GTK2/3 theme which will complete the "Faience" pack. The GTK2/3 theme is not yet available but you can already use the Faience GNOME Shell theme:

(Faience GNOME Shell theme and the original Faience folder icons)

Installation

Faience icon theme

To use Faience, you must firstly install the Faenza icon theme. If you run Ubuntu, you can install it from its official PPA using the commands below:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tiheum/equinox

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install faenza-icon-theme

Alternatively, download Faenza icon theme from DeviantArt, extract the downloaded archive and copy it to the ~/.icons folder.

Faience is not yet available in the above PPA so to install it, download the archive and copy all the 3 folders (Faience, Faience-Azur and Faience-Ocre) to the ~/.icons directory (if this folder doesn't exist, create it), then use GNOME Tweak Tool to apply the icon theme:

Faience GNOME Shell theme

To use the Faeience GNOME Shell theme, download it from HERE, extract it to the ~/.themes folder and use GNOME Tweak Tool to apply it. If for whatever reason you don't want to use GNOME Tweak Tool (like... you can't install the user-theme extension which is required by this feature), just remove all the files under /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme and copy the Faience GNOME Shell theme files to this folder.

Faenza Icons For LibreOffice Toolbar

Rho from seekngeek, has created a Faenza icon pack for the LibreOffice toolbar, based on Kado20es' work. The icon pack is still in beta but it looks great already:

LibreOffice Faenza Icon pack will only replace the LibreOffice toolbar icons with Faenza monochrome icons and will not affect the LibreOffice application icons. Also, you don't have to use Faenza as the system icon theme to use the LibreOffice Faenza icons!

Installation

Firstly, download LibreOffice Faenza Icons Mod in your home folder and then run the commands below, depending on how you've installed LibreOffice:

- for LibreOffice installed from the official Ubuntu repositories or the LibreOffice PPA:

sudo apt-get install libreoffice-style-crystal
cd
mv ~/libreoffice_faenzaMOD.zip ~/images_crystal.zip
sudo mv /usr/share/libreoffice/basis-link/share/config/images_crystal.zip /usr/share/libreoffice/basis-link/share/config/images_crystal.orig.zip && sudo mv ~/images_crystal.zip /usr/share/libreoffice/basis-link/share/config/images_crystal.zip

Please note that the installation instructions above will overwrite the original "libreoffice-style-crystal" (which isn't really a problem is you're not using this style or you don't plan on using it; either way, the commands above will create a backup of the original Crystal style). If you want to replace a different LibreOffice style, see the instructions @ LibreOffice Faenza Icons Mod Gnome Look page.

- for LibreOffice 3.3 downloaded from the LibreOffice website:

cd
mv ~/libreoffice_faenzaMOD.zip ~/images.zip
sudo mv /opt/libreoffice3.3/basis3.3/share/config/images.zip /opt/libreoffice3.3/basis3.3/share/config/images_crystal.orig.zip && sudo mv ~/images.zip /opt/libreoffice3.3/basis3.3/share/config/images.zip

- for LibreOffice 3.4 downloaded from the LibreOffice website:

cd
mv ~/libreoffice_faenzaMOD.zip ~/images.zip
sudo mv /opt/libreoffice3.4/basis3.4/share/config/images.zip /opt/libreoffice3.4/basis3.4/share/config/images_crystal.orig.zip && sudo mv ~/images.zip /opt/libreoffice3.4/basis3.4/share/config/images.zip

Once installed, open LibreOffice, select Tools > Options and under "LibreOffice", click on "View" and select "Crystal" (under "Icon size and style"):

Update: for ArchLinux, use the following path: "/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/config/images_brand.zip" (thanks to Rationalperseus)

Revert the changes

If you want to use the original style, simply open the LibreOffice Options and select "Automatic" under LibreOffice > View.


Also, a back up of the original LibreOffice Crystal style is available (if you've used the commands above) under "/usr/share/libreoffice/basis-link/share/config/images_crystal.orig.zip" for LibreOffice installed from the Ubuntu repositories/PPA and "/opt/libreoffice3.3/basis3.3/share/config/images_crystal.orig.zip" or "/opt/libreoffice3.4/basis3.4/share/config/images_crystal.orig.zip" for LibreOffice downloaded from its website. To restore the "Crystal" style, use the commands below:

- For LibreOffice installed via Ubuntu repositories / PPA:

sudo rm /usr/share/libreoffice/basis-link/share/config/images_crystal.zip
sudo mv /usr/share/libreoffice/basis-link/share/config/images_crystal.orig.zip /usr/share/libreoffice/basis-link/share/config/images_crystal.zip

- For LibreOffice 3.3 downloaded from its website:

sudo rm /opt/libreoffice3.3/basis3.3/share/config/images.zip
sudo mv /opt/libreoffice3.3/basis3.3/share/config/images_crystal.orig.zip /opt/libreoffice3.3/basis3.3/share/config/images.zip

- For LibreOffice 3.4 downloaded from its website:

sudo rm /opt/libreoffice3.4/basis3.4/share/config/images.zip
sudo mv /opt/libreoffice3.4/basis3.4/share/config/images_crystal.orig.zip /opt/libreoffice3.4/basis3.4/share/config/images.zip

Please note that I've only tested the first case (LibreOffice installed via the LibreOffice PPA / Ubuntu repos).
