Please read the forum rules and especially rule #5 about providing details!

So, my questions are:
  • Where did you downloaded those icon themes?
  • How was it packed? Zipped in a zip-file or tarball?
  • Is that icon theme intended to be used under Linux?
Most probably that index.theme file is just an index file for "administration" purpose, i.e.: it was created while zipping/compressing the package. But to be sure, what is the content of that index.theme file?

:) I downloaded 2 icon themes "moka" from http://mokaproject.com/ and "plateu" http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/?content=159873

:) Both as .zip

:) Of course yes, they are intended for use as icons - at least as far as I understand from what's written on these sites.

Here's the content of "moka" it's named "index.theme" inside the moka folder.

Code: Select all

[Icon Theme]
Name=Moka
Comment=A simple and consistent icon set.

Re: How to install a "index.theme" for icons?

Post by Penn »

I know in Mint 17 Cinnamon it is a simple matter of dropping the folder (after unzipping of course) straight into /usr/share/icons. When you go to system settings - themes - other settings the new icon theme will be there in the icon section.
