Replacing hicolor folder?
 

Hi all!

I'm wanting to replace my hicolor icon folder with one I found online. Ive already backed up the default one. Is the proper command:

mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/hicolor
/usr/share/icons

This doesnt delete any other subfolder in /icons does it?

Thanks!

Yes I think it's correct.

Can anyone help?

:cannot remove /usr/share/icons/hicolor : is a directory

Example,

sudo gainroot

mkdir -p MyDocs/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon
mkdir -p MyDocs/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon
mkdir -p MyDocs/icons/hicolor/16x16/hildon

mkdir -p .local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon
mkdir -p .local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon
mkdir -p .local/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/hildon

mv MyDocs/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/* .local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon

mv MyDocs/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/* .local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon

mv MyDocs/icons/hicolor/16x16/hildon/* .local/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/hildon

.local folder will override and does not overwrite usr/share

Yours will be mv MyDocs/.documents/hicolor/* usr/share/icons/hicolor

Just sudo gainroot

mv MyDocs/.documents/hicolor/* usr/share/icons/hicolor
