# set the icon theme
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme "Moka"

Missing Icons & Requests

You can file an icon request as a GitHub issue. Filing an icon request or reporting a missing icon, please take care in providing the following useful information:

• A screenshot of your issue or an image of the original icon you are requesting to be themed
• The file name for the missing icon or the requested icon, for example gimp.png or system-shutdown.svg
• A short description of the application or software that you are requesting an icon for.

Note: some software ships hardcoded icons, meaning when you install icons are not placed in the system-wide directory /usr/share/icons which makes them unthemeable.
