You know what's funny, I changed the icon pack through theme customizer but didn't select save and auto reboot, just apply changes. After it was set up, I powered off and then on again manually and they icons were changed successfully w/out everything messed up like before. Not sure if it is the the steps I took or the fact that I didn't change the fonts (that's what messed it up last time). Thanks for the help though. I will fiddle around with it a bit more.
