where are the toolbar icons located?

In the theme you are currently using.

and where in that folder? i've looked in /home/user/.themes/finerydark/...

what are the names of the toolbar-icons perhaps i could do a search for them

What icon theme do you use and I may be able to advise.

i use the standar Ubuntu-Mono-Dark theme with the Finery Dark GTK theme

i have already have customized toolbar icons when choosing elementary or another theme but couldn't find the corresponding icons in the folders of the themes

look in /usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-dark/

all I did was:

sudo find / -name "*theme*" | grep -i dark

Found it in no time

sorry, i don't get the point, i can't find any toolbar icon in that folder - because of that i ask my question!
there aren't any of the icons in the nautilus toolbar in the Ubuntu-Mono-Dark folder, i thought tey where in pixmaps, but there are only the viewmode icons...

perhaps a screenshot could bring light in the dark of my question ;-)

i mean the icons on the left side

If you set a different theme, do they change?

yes, they change if i set icon theme to Faenza or elementary and i've already looked for the icons in the corresponding folders, but found nothing...

perhaps you know the file names of the icons, so i could do a search for them?!

Could try:

sudo find / -name "*.png" | grep -i icon
sudo find / -name "*.xpm" | grep -i icon

Or somesuch

that gives me endless list of files but i can't see any filename that in some way could be the toolbar icons...
no one any idea or knowledge?

were the locations of the icons for gnome apps documented somewhere?

you can use grep to filter

sudo find / -name "*.png" | grep -i icon | grep -i dark

will find the filenames with the word 'dark' in

if you read the commands I am giving you can see what is going on and manipulate them to hunt for yourself. I am not aware of any icon docs myself, as I simply don't mess with themes. Maybe someone else can pitch in

i read your comments but apparently don't understand them?!

how can i specify the word if i don't know how the toolbar-icons are named?
how can i find a specific file that i don't know anything about except it has to be an image.

therefore i ask my question!

btw. thanks for your efforts

hence the term 'hunt'

When you go on a hunt you don't immediately find the target, you use intelligence and skills to find it. Try different words and search strings to see what you can dig up

ok ok, in that case no one knows anything about that issue i have to do that.

my idea was that anybody at launchpad knows about the location of the questioned icons and could tell me, i thought this was one of the reasons for the birth of launchpad.

no offense, but your last answer isn't very helpful or productive and if you can't answer my question it's ok and you don't have to post a comment her.

Fine but at least you have something you can do yourself while you wait rather than nothing happening.

ok, i've found the icons of elementary in /icons/actions/48 but the used icons of my icon theme i didn't find

output from gconftool was:

ubuntu-mono-dark (icon-theme)
FineryDark (gtk-theme)

seems to be a little screwed up

i will check what happens if i copy the elementary icons into the ubuntu-mono-dark folder

First, if you want to customize your icons pack by mixing one and other
please do it from scratch. Do not break your own configuration by doing
this kind of stuff.
You can found your panel icon in /usr/share/pixmaps if that what you
mean.
The other things, this is NOT A BUG. So, please consider to open a
questions on forum to get the answer and maybe much more good advice.

here's all the icons path for your reference
/usr/share/icons/<iconthemesname>
~/.icons/<iconthemesname>
/usr/share/pixmaps <this folder for all small icons in panel>

but most other icon packager have they own folder, you can find it in
they rc files which is located inside they icons folder.

oh sorry, i wanted to post this issue as a question, maybe i accidently posted it as a bug?!
no, it IS a question and it is correctly posted or where do i have to post such issues?

i mean the toolbar in Nautilus and until now i find out that the icons seem to be in the Humanity icon theme under /actions/"size"
but not managed to change them with Ubuntu-Mono-Dark theme selected...

i will look for a guide to create own icon themes and will do my own one then, maybe that helps ;-)

thanks for your help!

ok, thanks for your help, i will do my own icon theme mixed from my favourite ones and hopefully get the toolbar icons i like to have ;-)

Thanks Samantha (aka Sam), that solved my question.
