    Utopic 14.10 Mate remix how do I change the icons.

    I installed Ubuntu Utopic Mate Remix and for the life of me cannot seem to change the icons.

    I have tried several different methods which did work on regular Ubuntu Utopic and every other earlier version of Ubuntu as well as Mint I have.

    I'm stuck with this:

    Re: Utopic 14.10 Mate remix how do I change the icons.

    OK now I am thoroughly convinced that there is no way to change the icon theme in Utopic Mate.

    I had installed the Buff3.10 icon theme in ~/.icons and with every other install that did the trick but not on Mate.

    So I copied the folder ~/.icons/buuf3.10 to /usr/share/icons/buuf3.10. Rebooted and still nothing.

    Mate is apparently a different animal compared to Ubuntu or Mint.

    Make sure the permissions on the newly installed files match those of the other icons, the ones the system can see.

    I think you might be heading in the right direction. A lot of the icons are symlinked to another icons in the same folder. I'll have to look at this more tomorrow.
    Thanks for the post!

    Re: Utopic 14.10 Mate remix how do I change the icons.

    I've had a number of occasions where manually installed icons didn't have the right permissions. A "sudo chmod -R +rx" on the directory took care of that.

    That won't fix sym links, though. If, say, you copied files from another distro that had them symlinked (maybe links in ~/.icon to files in /usr/share/icons?), then you'd have a batch of broken symlinks and no icons.

    The icons pre-installed are symlinked and not the ones I'm trying to use. I changed all of the permissions to match the ones that do work. But the Buuf icons will not show up.

    The only way I can change icons along with everything else is via System > Preferences >Appearances and then select a different theme and the icons follow.
    Changing them in dconf-editor doesn't cut it. And I cannot seem to find a Buuf3.10 theme file to add there.

    It took a lot of work as there were several directories so here is what I had to do (The Fog icons from the Fog theme worked):

    Code:

    I fell asleep a few times while doing the above.
    I didn't know I'd have to build a theme just to change the icons in Mate. In Ubuntu it was a piece of cake.

    Re: Utopic 14.10 Mate remix how do I change the icons.

    I think I just figured it out. I opened System > Preferences > Appearances, selected the theme I'm on and clicked customize and changed the icon to the buuf3.10 ones.
    I'll have to do some more checking to see if this fixed everything but it looks good so far.
