FS Icons Ubuntu proposes a new look, smooth and modern icons for Ubuntu. Feel free to request more icons through Launchpad page >> https://bugs.launchpad.net/fs-icons-ubuntu. Tested on Ubuntu and Kubuntu 12.04 and 12.10
FS Icons Ubuntu also has a Google+ page! Follow here: http://gplus.to/fsiconsubuntu

Before installing this version, remove / uninstall any previous version
Do not worry, the icons will be installed only if their applications are installed.
-----
1 - Extract file 2 - Give execute permission to fs-icons-ubuntu.sh file and run it 3 - The Script will guide you through the installation / setup / uninstall 4 - To install unoverridable icons (LibreOffice icons and HPLIP tray icon), rerun the installer script after installing the icons. The option is there
For better compatibility with the FS Icons Ubuntu Mono Dark set, I recommend using the Salience GTK+2/3 theme, which is available here: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Salience?content=155346
Both FS Icons Ubuntu and Salience are official themes in the LumiNight theme suite project. If you have themes for other parts of the desktop which would fit in with these themes, please ask us to take a look for possible inclusion.

Hello,
First, I must say this is wonderful icon set. I especially love the icons for mimetypes. That said, I'm unable to use any of themes under Fedora 23 (Gnome) because of some nasty bug. Namely, icons in Nautilus' top bar go huge - some 250px. Problem is caused by icons: back, forward, home, find. Also, in left panel, the icons for respective folders are mangled - only grey boxes can be seen.
If you still maintain the icons please drop a hint how to overcome this bug. Thanks in advance.
Specifically, the icon for for some files are only displaying as blank page icons (.cpp .h Makefile .c .py ...). Also the filetypes .js .php .pl .rb .sh all share the same icon, the icon that I think is intended for .sh scripts. Oddly enough, if I use the file manager (nemo) to ssh onto another machine, all the icons are just as they should be.
I am on Linux Mint 15 (Cinnamon) and also had this problem on Ubuntu 12.04.
Thank you for any help.
Really gorgeous! Use it on my Xfce Fedora 18 distro. Just unpacked the files fromout the tar file and pasted them into the usr/share/icons folder. Works like a charm!
The extra folders (colored folders, folder pdf, etc) can only be used manually, or when the system calls. The only folders that can be used as normal folders are variants (megypt, sky and uva). I plan to make more variants, and these are the black folders.
Well, as said in description, the PPA is not working, the person responsible for are busy with other stuff at the moment, and I am not programmer. As regards the mediafire, I tried upload to devianart, but I wait 30 min upload to the site tell me that does not accept executable files, so I removed the script inside the package and tried again (3 times), and he shows me the same message. I also tried to upload to Launchpad, after uploading, timeout occurs (tried 4 times). The solution I found was to use this server. But I will also upload to other servers, Launchpad and devianart are kidding me
Since the last time the set is really much better (it was already beautiful hour is great), I noticed that you increase the contrast of identification symbols on folders.
Have you ever considered the idea of adding symbols as external elements placed above the folder (dye with more colors instead of leaving mono color) and not drawn on it?
In this way, in my opinion would be greatly increased the sense of three-dimensionality.
I hope you will want to consider my suggestion
These icons are great but the only thing stopping me using them at the moment is the lack of panel icons. The fact that music, networking & sys settings revert to the really basic ones is a deal breaker for me. Here is what my panel looks like with FS icons enabled:

I will defo be keeping an eye open though, thanks!

USB icon please
Amazing icons! I'm going to donate right now, thanks again.

Thanks a lot! A question about the second screenshot: - How do you have monochrome icons in LibreOffice?
Ooops, sorry, forgot to re-run the installer script ;-) Couldn't we just do it during installation though - at the very end I guess?

Is this compatible with Gnome Shell 3.6 ?
How do I get it to use the black folder icons?

Beautiful icons, but the icons are still missing in the settings category Ubuntu and Kubuntu with KDE.
In progress ;)
Thanks, I can not wait.
Your version 0.6-alpha2 download from MediaFire does not work. It fails after about 50%. It is also not available in the unstable PPA.

Something like this? http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/FS+Icons?content=149302 I am preparing something, don't worry ;)
is exactly what I meant. P.S. I noticed that missing icon monochrome deluge (blue is the classic icon in the panel). compliments
I'll check. ;)
Exellent work, thanks!
I like your icons sooo much, imho they should become the Ubuntu's default icons. Great job man, congratulations ;)
