Yet another Icon question (Gnome 2.x)

[jdvilla]

I have searched and found results for many of my questions regarding the customization of Gnome. I believe it's Gnome 2.2, whatever is the default Red Hat installation.

Anyway, I have changed my login screen, splash screen, window border, and application theme...

My question pertains to icons... If I want to change them, do I replace every file I want to replaceor is there a much easier way to do this? Such as the way it's done in KDE where you can change system wide icons.

I went to art.gnome.org and downloaded what I believe is a set of icons (TuxnTosh) but I have no idea how to install/set them up...

There has to be some easier way as I notice that a lot of people have some nicely customized desktops...

Untar them in ~/.icons
Change the icons in the Gnome Theme applet

Easy as cake :)

Sounds easy as cake, however I don't have a Gnome Theme Applet... I have Gnome Theme Properties which is how I changed the Window Borders and Application Themes, but there's nothing about icons....:confused:

Well, I found one way... In Nautilus, if I go to Edit->Preferences, I can change the theme and even add a new theme...but now I'm having issues with installing the new theme...

ICON-Tux-n-Tosh-0.1.tar.bz2 is the name of the file... I tried installing it as is, then untarring it, and even the using the index.theme file...but to no avail

In 2.4 they changed it =\

Did you untar it to .icons then look in Edit/Prefs to see if was there ?
