Description: I made variant versions for icons that I don't really like from the Faenza icon theme. 16px, 22px, 32px, 48px and scalable sizes.Last changelog:
0.20 +Boxee +Clementine +Dropbox (including emblems as seen in Faenza 0. +Github Octocat +Small sizes for all icons +Indicator/Panel icon when moving or copying files (system-file-manager-panel +Faenza Dark and Faenza Cupertino packages.
0.15 +aMSN +Gnome Subtitlles +Gwibber (Updated) +Small sizes (32px, 24px, 22px and 16px), for aMSN, Chromium, Firefox, Gmail, Google Chrome and Shotwell. +New package. Now the icons are packaged as a theme, so you can install it without overwriting the original Faenza theme.
I'd like to applaud your efforts, but unfortunately, the icons don't actually fit in with the rest of Faenza: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11745544/variants.png I'm sure you can see where the inconsistencies are. Still, A for effort.
If you have time, please also consider redoing the following hideous icons.
DROPBOX: It's currently a bright yellow square with the blue Dropbox logo in the middle.
VLC: A grey square with a small VLC traffic-cone logo in the middle. Ugly.
CLEMENTINE: Very nice logo, but doesn't fit the theme since it's not in a box.
Thanks for the fantastic variants.
Nice work. I'm using this mainly for the Chromium and Nautilus icons.
I desperately want to see a Vim icon.
Hotot one would be great too although I'm currently using the generic Twitter icon for this at the moment. Lastly a Github Octocat icon would be good for a Prism app of the site although I'm aware this probably won't ever happen; I wish I was better at design.
hi Dear,
for installing the faenza-Icons, there is a repository.
Open Your Terminal and run the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tiheum/equinox
and then:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install faenza-icon-theme
This will install the faenza-icons as well as the equinox-gtk-themes on your machine. I love these gtk-themes.

I was wondering how I can change the normal gnome-bar faenza icons from the black ones to the white ones, or more accurate the ones from the faenza-dark variant,
just found the solution
copy Faenza-Dark from /usr/share/icons to your local icon folder, say /home/yourname/.icons
edit index.theme, change these lines:
Name=Faenza-Variants-Dark
Inherits=Faenza-Variants,Humanity-Dark,ubuntu-mono-dark,gnome
There you go ... faenza-variants-dark ^^
Another way it's editing the index.theme file from Faenza-Variants instead of Faenza-Dark.
Replacing this line:
Inherits=Faenza,Humanity,Tango,gnome
For this one:
Inherits=Faenza-Dark,Humanity,Tango,gnome
In the next update, I will make a version for dark themes, so you don't have to edit anything.
Ehi! Nice edits!!
Listen, can you fix those ugly action icons?
There are a lot of action icons like "gtk-open" "Shutdown" that have max_size = 22px!!
On my AWN bar looks awful!
Can you create a scalable version?
Thank you :)
You can edit the index.theme file.
Replace this line:
Inherits=Faenza,Humanity,Tango,gnome
For this one:
Inherits=Faenza-Dark,Humanity,Tango,gnome
In the next update, I will make a version for dark themes, so you don't have to edit anything.
Can you replace the icons with black backgrounds (if you haven't already done it?) like vlc?
(NB, I haven't installed it yet, but I didn't see VLC in the list).
These aren't really usable unless you include the other icon sizes... otherwise, they won't look consistent at different icon sizes or will get scaled down whereas others won't.
I understand what you mean but I plan to include the smaller sizes soon.
Faenza doesn't have any guidelines, so I just need a little time to figure it out myself.

...and, unfortunately do much to make packages, etc, that contain the original Faenza icon set(s) overwhelming and confusing.

Congrats on great work! Also, can i request an icon for valknut, or better, a little guidance to do it myself :)
Could you still make icons for applications "Trimage", "Gpick" and "Mumble"? Thank you in advance.

Also, Faenza's Sound and Video icon color scheme (grey with a green musical note) is pretty ugly. Think you could do something about that?
Also a Handbrake Icon if possible I like the set very much good work.

Hi, What about some instructions, step-by-step for dummies, for those like me that is new on this? Thanks!

I know what you mean, I used GNOME Do and I have the same issue. I see what I can do.
Great work! Could you please make a dark version of these icons for themes that are dark. Because I can't properly see the small icons on the panel.

absolute godsend!
Can you replace the icons with black backgrounds (if you haven't already done it?) like vlc? (NB, I haven't installed it yet, but I didn't see VLC in the list).
Excellent work. Is it possible to include a Me-TV icon? The original Faenza icon set is missing that too.

The default firefox icon looked evil. Very good.
I like the variant icons very much!
