# Fix Geany icon on the Faenza theme

The Faenza icon theme

[[1]](http://tiheum.deviantart.com/art/Faenza-Icons-173323228 "On DeviantArt")

[[2]](http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Faenza?content=128143 "On GnomeLook")

is a popular theme that is even the default on some distributions (e.g.

[Mint](http://www.linuxmint.com/)).

No matter how great it is, many people don't like the icon this theme gives to

Geany: a blue arabic-style drawing with arabic letters reading "Geany" --

nothing similar to the gold magic lamp.  The scripts and icons here are intended

to help replacing this Faenza icon with a more Geany-looking one.

## Installing the Faenza-looking icons

To install the Faenza-looking Geany icons, you can either manually copy the

icons in the Faenza directory or use the build system.  To use the build

system, you need to setup it first:

    $ ./autogen.sh

Then, you'll configure it to either install system-wide:

    $ ./configure

or to install in your home directory:

    $ ./configure --with-icons-dir="$HOME/.icons"

and finally perform the installation, with root privileges if necessary:

    $ make install

**This will overwrite existing Geany icons in the Faenza theme!**

## Using the original Geany icons

Alternatively, you can also revert to the original Geany icon.  To do so, you

can either remove the `geany` icons from the Faenza theme, or override them

back with the originals (e.g. in case it is installed system-wide).

The script `faenza-use-geany-icon.sh` helps to perform the latter.

This script links and renders the original Geany icon from the Geany

installation folders in `~/.icons/Faenza` so they are used in priority over

any system-wide ones.  If the Faenza theme is installed in `~/.icons`, the

files that would get overwritten will be renamed with a `.bak` suffix.

To use this script, you'll need to have Geany installed on your system and

found either in the `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` or the `PATH`.  You will also need

either [Inkscape](http://inkscape.org/) or

[rsvg](https://live.gnome.org/LibRsvg) to render the SVG file at various sizes.

When you have all this, just run the script:

    $ ./faenza-use-geany-icon.sh

### Removing the Feanza Geany icons

If you prefer to remove the offending icons from the Faenza theme, you may

use this command to rename the `geany` icons with a `.bak` suffix so they

won't be used:

    $ find ~/.icons/Faenza -name 'geany.*' -exec mv '{}' '{}.bak' ';'

This assumes the icons are installed in your home folder, but you can modify

the command if they are installed system wide (though in this case the

overrides solutions above maybe be better).
