Locate where are installed icons

[frodon]

Hi

I've installed some new gnome icon themes like MMX-Mercury-L (from GNOME-look.org) and I want to affect these icons to custom desktop shortcuts. Does someone can tell me where are installed the icons of the theme (MMX-Mercury-L icon theme for exemple), I search in /usr/share/pixmaps/ but I didn't find them.

thanks

Try ~/.themes or ~/.icons

You can always try the "locate command", after you update the database. In a console, try:
sudo updatedb
locate <name of file>

Directories with a '.' are hidden
.themes
.icons
in your home directory
to see them, open nautilus and go to View>Show Hidden Files
Go to Edit>Preferences>Views tab to make it default behavior.

ls -a also do it.

I don't know why but I didn't think to search in home directory hidden files :roll:
I know that very often software are installed here .... where is my head !

thanks all, I have the icon power in my hands now :smile:
