Mint-Yz-icons is a fork from Mint-Y-icons

These icons are the same as those found in Mint-Y-icons.
Only the places colors have been changed to match the colors of Mint-Yz-theme.

Download and Install

FIRST, Go to the LATEST RELEASE page. There, click on the mint-yz-icons_X.x.x.zip to download.

NEXT, CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING METHODS TO INSTALL:

Method 1: automatic installer

  1. Extract (unzip) the zip you just downloaded
  2. Open this directory containing the files you extracted, and double-click on the INSTALLER.sh to "Run in Terminal"

Method 2: Command Line Interface (CLI)
Open your terminal and do this:

cd ~/Downloads # Go to where you downloaded your zip.
unzip -q mint-yz-icons*
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/icons/Mint-Yz-*
sudo cp -rf icons/* /usr/share/icons
sudo ./update-cache.sh

Method 3: Graphical User Interface (GUI)
(Everyone has a different GUI, so I can't give you precise instructions this way... But it should be pretty simple...)

  1. Go to your Download directory
  2. Extract (unzip) this mint-yz-icons_X.x.x.zip
  3. Open /usr/share/icons as root (Be careful! Close this window when done!)
  4. Move or copy all the contents from the extracted icons directory into /usr/share/icons (not the icons directory itself, but all those directories inside: Mint-Yz-Base, Mint-Yz-Base-Aqua, Mint-Yz-Base-BlueBelize, etc)
  5. Open your terminal into the directory where you extracted the contents of this zip, and do sudo ./update-cache.sh

FINALLY, Select your new icons in Menu > Preferences > Themes or Appearance.

Note

Just like in the standard Mint-Y-icons, these Mint-Yz icons are available in both base and dark variants. The color is exactly the same on base and dark versions. The difference is in the actions category of icons. These are used on some things such as tool bars. You should always select :

  • Mint-Yz-Base-(color) icons for Mint-Yz-Base-(color) controls
  • Mint-Yz-Dark-(color) icons for Mint-Yz-Dark-(color) controls

This will ensure all your toolbars are clearly visible. Don't worry, this is not dangerous, but if you find some toolbars are almost invisible, remember to check whether you have selected base or dark icons...

And, of course, feel free to mix colors ! Example :

mix/cinnamon-settings_themes.png

Remove (optional)

If you changed your mind and want to remove this group of icons, there are many ways to do so. But first of all, make sure you are not using these Mint-Yz icons anymore. Open Menu > Preferences > Themes or Appearances, and select something else, such as Mint-Y or Mint-X, for your icons.

Next, type this in your terminal:

sudo rm -rf /usr/share/icons/Mint-Yz-*

Remove old Debian packages (if any)

  1. First method : You can open your terminal and type: apt remove mint-yz-icons.
  2. Second method : Or you can also open your Synaptic Package Manager, search (Ctrl+F) for mint-yz-icons, mark for removal, and apply.
