Okay I am not so much a noob but I have a noob question.

Since I just recently went from Jaunty to Lucid, I had my home on its own partition and that saved my personal settings, however I learned the hard way that there is no Human theme with Lucid so I installed the human theme. Everything is looking good except...

The icons on the top panel for the power icon, the one you use to shut down and restart, etc, I can not get a good icon for that! I have tried several themes and when I have a good icon for it I have grayed out icons for the other items on the panel making it near impossible to see them.... I would like the standard red circle with the line in it. Right now I have something that looks like an LCD monitor. yuck..

I wouldn't mind a different icon set for say the speaker, and such as the ones I have now are asthetically pleasing but they seem like they are spaced out a lot.

Thanks in advance.

Oh and also anyone help me out with the fonts? They look atrocious in chrome and ff... I know Jaunty I had to do some fix to make it look better and I am sure it is the same with Lucid but I have not found it yet with searching the forums.

i changed out the shut down button by just replacing it in the correct icon folder. speaker icon was replaced with another speaker add on i liked.

So basically say I am using Humanity icons, put the desired shut-down icon in that folder then? Or is there a certain location that the current icon set resides, as in ones currently in use?

this is what you should have

find out which one appears in your panel and replace it with a svg of your choosing. tip; create a folder and drop them in
