Key art image for Installing Icons

Installing Icons

Since posting my icons on the internet, a couple of people have asked how to install them, so heres the guide for each one to install them on ubuntu:

For all of them

Download your icon set for ubuntu from gnome-look.org and de-compress the icon folder, we are going to change images in this folder to the icons you want to use. Once you’ve changed the images as described below, compress the folder to a .tar.gz file and install the icon set as usual.

Hard Drives V1 & 2

For each icon, you’ll need to make several copies of each icon and rename them in the “devices” folder in each of the folders in the main directory i.e. 128x128, scalable….
