I'm running gnome3 on Ubuntu 12.04 and my dolphin looks like this:

Dolphin on gnome-shell

I really don't like these oxygen themed icons and want to use the Faenza icons.

I tried backing up the oxygen icons and downloading a version of Faenza for KDE and then making a sym link from Faenza to oxygen like:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/icons/Faenza-KDE /usr/share/icons/oxygen

but nothing changed??!?!

So where are QT apps pulling their icons from?!?!

The KDE System Settings changes those Icons: sudo apt-get install systemsettings will install it.

From there go to Application Appearance>Icons.

  1. Install packages:
    • Fedora 33: sudo dnf install qt5ct qt5-qtstyleplugins
    • Ubuntu 20.10: sudo apt install qt5ct qt5-style-plugins (untested by author)
  2. Edit /etc/enviroment to contain a line QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
  3. Reboot
  4. Open “Qt5 settings” („Qt5-Einstellungen“ in German, command qt5ct)
  5. Configure the appearence as needed
  6. Launch your Qt5 application

If you don't want to install all the dependencies and just need to change the icons, you may already have the neccessary component installed:

kcmshell4 icons

Works great for changing toolbar icons in kde apps.

EDIT: Unfortunately, for qt5 apps you need kcmshell5, the icons module for that is included in the plasma-desktop package, which has a sh*tload of dependencies... :(
