i have a little problem with my icons on 12.04 :D I was installing an application from a tar-archieve but the icons for that special application were missing. So I looked up the tar again and found a subfolder /share/icons/48x48/ which sould (and thats the point, it should, but does not) fit into /usr/share/icons.  So i just ran  sudo cp -Rf ./share/icons /usr/share/   That worked for the particular application (MonoDevelop 4). But now, various icons are missing like Banshee, Software-Center, Audacity, Adoure, VLC and so on... (but not all, half of them are still in place!) I checked the permissions on /usr/share/icons and its all ok. What has gone wrong here and any ideas on how to fix this? Thnx ;)

I've downloaded some nice themes, icon packages, and pointers from sites like gnome-look.  Now, what do I do to use this theme? Do I have to save it in /usr/share/themes?

Didn't expected to get stuck with it, however it is seems to be a problem.  Is there any publicly available standard icons set for windows 10 applications design? (Something like here for material )

After upgrading from Ubuntu 18.10 to 19.04, Gnome has upgraded from 3.30.2 to 3.32.0. My handy desktop icons, links, and mounted volume icons are gone, the Desktop tweaks are gone to bring them back, and the Desktop shortcut is gone in the sidebar of Nautilus (Files). The actual files and Desktop are still there when you navigate under Home obviously, but this makes them so inconvenient to get to or use.  I found and installed the Gnome extension called Desktop Icons and that works...but not well. They're difficult to size, sort, and arrange. And they used to be clickable on top of or through my Conky stuff. Now they are below Conky and I cannot click on them. So it really renders Conky unusable for me. I have to turn off Conky to use my desktop icons. I really want the old Gnome desktop back.   I realize it's too late or extremely difficult to go back to Ubuntu 18.10 at this point. Can I stay on 19.04 and revert back to Gnome 3.30.2? If so, how?

Please could you tell me where can I find the File Manager Preferences in Ubuntu ... (now for 16:04 LTS).  The menu bar has disappeared from Nautilus, as also have the resize handles and the top-bar right-click menu (except for 'Close').  The window gets a little smaller every time I open it, it's gradually disappearing and I can't presently correct it.  I'm using Gnome not Unity, so the fixes for unity don't work.  I would have preferred to add these observations as comments, but I still have too few reputations to do that, so have to ask a new copy of the same question instead.

Unfortunately in Ubuntu 13.10 there is no tray icon and whitelisting is removed.  The older solutions do not work for me, e.g. I get the message: No such schema 'com.canonical.Unity.Panel' when I try to use the command:  gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']"     How can I get tray icons back (for applications that put an icon in the tray (like TrueCrypt, Pidgin, Aqualung, gnome-system-monitor and so many more) in Unity?  The most annoying thing is that the user loses control over applications which cannot themselves detect that they have no tray icon (e.g.: gnome-system-monitor, TrueCrypt...). At least Aqualung sends a message about being unable to put an icon in the system tray!

I just started using Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS. From the 'Help' application I see that there ought to be certain icons if I am using a wired connection on my GNOME top bar as shown below:    But there isn't any! I see only a couple of icons on my top bar as shown below:    So how to get those icons on my top bar? I can't right click on the top bar too! I am not able to know if I am connected to the internet without this. I ought to enter my browser and search for google or something to know if I am connected. So need help here!   PS:- BTW I see that there aren't many icons on my top bar. Is this normal? Am I missing any other default icons? If yes can you tell how to get those? BTW I have libappindicator 1 and libappindicator 3-1 installed. So, that shouldn't be a problem. Also I tried  but it didn't work. Let me also add that I changed to a different icon theme too but that also didn't help(presently using numix-circle theme). The default tweak tool also doesn't seem to have any options to solve this issue of mine.

Is there for Linux a file manager where you can place icons in your window anywhere you want?  I see only managers (for Win&amp;Lin) where icons are aligned in a grid by name, size, date etc. However, on the desktop you can place an icon everywhere and eventually sort.   Why not for a different map? Does something like this exist?

Yesterday I upgraded my Ubuntu 18.10 to Ubuntu 19.04, and after the restart, the trash icon and my Desktop files have disappeared from the UI. If I go to the Desktop folder from my personal folder, I can see the files, but my Desktop is empty.  How can I show my files in the Desktop again?

I'd like to find the location of the icons used by some non-default  (also called application indicators or indicator applets).    Where are these icons image files located?  In my screenshot I have ownCloud and Radiotray, but I would like a general answer not specific to these particular icons please. I don't know the file names or file types so searching is difficult.

In the left side of the screen there are icons: Software Center, Ubuntu One, etc. System icons can be seen but icons of the programs that I have installed can not be seen. Rather there is a "?" for the icons. How can I solve this problem?

After upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04, I tried to use the new software center that came along with it, but I found it to have a few issues. One, it didn't detect all the applications I had previously installed and two, whenever I tried installing new software with it, a new icon on the launcher (saying "Waiting to Install") appears, but no progress is made and the icon is stuck on the launcher.   However, I don't encounter any of these issues in the older Software Center. Does anybody know why this may be?

I opened the PC in the morning, and this is what I got:      As is visible the icons of the UWA apps were no affected and the start menu also is unaffected.    When Control Panel is in category view the entire page is empty and in large/small icons the name is visible, no icons.  I deleted the iconcache.db in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local folder. Following the instructions here: . But to no avail and now windows is not rebuilding the cache.   I also ran sfc /scannow but no changes took place.  What should I do?  (01/01/2016 8:00PM GMT +5:30) Edit: I tried opening the system properties and I got 0x8000ffff error and this:        Then I closed the popup and pressed the OK button on the System Properties Windows and I got 0x8007057A error:      Opening the Image Backup Control Panel page I again got an 0x8007000E error:        I tried using system restore via advanced startup but once again I got 0x800FFFF error.  P.S.: I did try restarting, didn't work.

Ubuntu 17.10 (xorg), GNOME 3.26.2, Firefox 58.0 (64 bit).    I have a few Firefox profiles setup.  When I run each profile, I would like it to be a separate icon on the dock.  How do I make that happen?  Right now what happens is that they are all grouped in the standard Firefox icon.

In Ubuntu 17.10, how do I rearrange the application icons in the dock area? I have tried many ways but failed, such as:   right-click the icons left-click or right-click the empty space in the dock

I've got an iPhone app with icon file Icon.png.  This icon shows up properly when the app is on the phone itself, but it doesn't show up in the applications pane in iTunes.  What do I need to do to get it to show up properly?
