Howto install: You should select all folders inside the 'icons' folder and copy over your current theme in /usr/share/icons/YourThemeName, then open the System settings --> Appereance --> Icons tab, switch to some other icon theme, hit Apply and switch back and you should see the new icon immediately, if you don't, then reboot and it should work...
Thanks for the icons, I love 'em :D
As posted in the other arch icon thread you posted, just in case someone sees this instead of the other:
For those using kdemod4 (will probably be the same for normal kde4 users, not sure), let me hopefully save you some frustration/confusion. I figured out how to make this work.
Writing over the icons in the oxygen folder as instructed didn't seem to do any good. Rebooting didn't seem to either. What did though was a combination of the original instructions and the below:
1) Switch to another icon theme (any theme will do, just switch and apply) and back.
2) Copy the start-here svg from the scalable folder in the tar file provided, rename it and move it to replace /usr/share/icons/oxygen/scalable/places/start-here-branding.svg ).
I think I did it this order: overwrite oxygen icons, replace start-here-branding.svg, switch icon theme to some gnome one I had installed, reboot, switch back to oxygen icon theme. Good to go :)
Thanks for this info FrozenFox!
I'll update that howto on all my icons as I found out, that you should really do the switch-apply-switchback-thing and that should be just enough.
I'm just not sure where to put the scalable one, because Fedora doesn't seem to use the svg icon at all. So I included it there mostly just to provide the source...
