Install the Faenza Icon Theme

A very nice looking icon theme for Gnome and XFCE. Comes in a very easy to install package. Do the following to install:

1
2
3
4
$ cd ~/Downloads
$ curl -O http://faenza-icon-theme.googlecode.com/files/faenza-icon-theme_1.3.zip
$ mkdir faenza
$ mv faenza-sources_1.3.tar.gz faenza/

Creating the directory faenza and moving the zip file into it before decompressing is a good idea, otherwise unzip will just spread all the files into the current Downloads folder and you will have crap everywhere... Then do this:

1
2
$ unzip faenza-icon-theme_1.3.zip
$ sudo ./INSTALL

... and just follow the directions from the installation script. Running as sudo will install globally and running as an unprevileged user will install in your home directory. Enjoy!
