Faenza Icon Theme Updated With New LibreOffice, UbuntuOne Icons

Faenza Icon Theme 0.9.2 has been released with new icons for LibreOffice, UbuntuOne - which now matches the new logo, a new workspace switcher icon and more.

With these, Faenza is almost ready for Unity (some icons are still missing though, like the Applications / Files & Folder Unity Places):

Faenza 0.9.2 changelog:

• New logos: Gentoo, Slackware
• New actions: folder-move, folder-copy
• New apps: libreoffice, workspace-switcher, wine notepad, winetricks, stellarium, mypaint
• w mimetypes: application-pgp-keys, encrypted
• New status icons: gsm 3G network, wireless secure network, bluetooth paired, weather icons in 24x24
• Color or opacity changes for some status icons
• A new design for Ubuntu One
• A few new 16x16 applications icons

Install Faenza Icon theme in Ubuntu using the commands below:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tiheum/equinox
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install faenza-icon-theme

Note: the versions in the PPA are a bit weird: the latest Faenza 0.9.2 has version "0.9-ubuntu3" but that's the latest version nevertheless.

If you don't use Ubuntu, get the latest Faenza Icon Theme 0.9.2 via Gnome Look.

Faenza 0.9.1 Released With Yet Another "Darker" Theme, Bug Fixes

A new Faenza Icon theme version has just been released: 0.9.1. This is just a minor bug-fix release, but it does bring a new variant called "Faenza-Darker" which is great for dark themes (dark buttons / Gnome Panel) with a light toolbar.

That's pretty nice because now you don't have to manually tweak the default Faenza Icon theme or use unofficial variants if you just want to use the original Faenza but with various light/dark icon combinations.

Faenza-Darker is the third official "dark" Faenza, along with "Faenza-Dark" and "Faenza-Darkest". To understand the differences between them, take a look at the screenshots below (read the description in Gedit too):

(Faenza-Darker)

(Faenza Darkest)

Install the latest Faenza Icon Theme 0.9.1 (the PPA version says "0.9-ubuntu2" but that's 0.9.1) in Ubuntu using the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tiheum/equinox
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install faenza-icon-theme

If you're not using Ubuntu, you can download Faenza via Gnome Look.

Download jDownloader Faenza Theme

jDownloader doesn't look too great and doesn't respect your GTK theme or icons. But luckily, if you use the Faenza icons, you can get jDownloader to use it (this is actually a jDownloader icon theme).

Here's a screenshot before and after applying the Faenza jDownloader theme:

(Before)

(After)

Yes, the UI is still not too pretty, but at least the icons look better.

To get Faenza icons for jDownloader, download the theme from Gnome Look, extract it, then copy the folder called "jd" to your ~/.jdownloader folder - this will overwrite some files so you may want to make a backup of the original "jd" file just in case.

Then, start jDownloader, head over to the Settings tab and under User Interface > Theme, select "Faenza" from the drop-down. You'll then have to restart jDownloader to see the new Faenza theme.
