How to change icon theme in i3? If this matters, I'm working on Arch Linux. I googled, but I can only find info about GTK theme, not icons.
How to set GTK icon theme in i3?
gtk;icons;i3
I can think of at least 2 options you can choose from:Change ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini directly (the former for icons in GTK2 applications, the latter for GTK3 applications) - the setting you're looking for is gtk-icon-theme-name in both cases. For GTK2, you can just add a line likegtk-icon-theme-name=Faenza-Ambiance` to the file, for GTK3 the line needs to be inside a [Settings] section like[Settings] gtk-icon-theme-name=Faenza-AmbianceYou can find the name of the theme by looking at the Name property inside its index.theme file.Use LXAppearence to change the GTK2/3 icons (and themes, fonts, etc.). LXAppearance is part of the LXDE desktop environment, but as you can see on the package page, its dependencies are only dbus-glib and gtk2.I prefer using LXAppearance because it gives access to all important theme-related settings but is still very lightweight.
