Where are icon themes located?

Post by user1234 »

In which directory, in fossapup64 9.5, are the icon themes located, those ones which are shown when JWMDesk > Icon Themes is clicked. I wanted to add a new icon theme, just a directory containing icons, just like those which you download from gnome-look.org or xfce-look.org (full icon theme).

The only issue you may have.

The theme package you find to download, may or may not have all the needed icons.

Usually, the ones with a very large amount of icons, will work best.

If the icon theme is missing a needed icon.

Puppy will most likely still use the one it was using.

So, all the icons may not get replaced, by what the icon theme is suppose to provide.

For Puppy icon themes this a very good place to get them:

Note:
To download one. Just click on the display of the icons.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
