Icon theme not recognized in Linux Mint 20 #7

I followed this instruction: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2020/01/make-linux-mint-look-like-windows-7

I tried to change the icon theme of Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon to Windows 7 by creating a ".themes" folder in my home directory and copying the extracted zip file "Window-7-master" into it. However, the folder "Window-7-master" didn't appear in the icon box using the "themes" application, so I wasn't able to set the icons to the Windows 7 style.

The folder must be named .themes with an s at the end

Elbullazul commented 3 years ago

Also, for icon themes, you have to make a separate folder named .icons

maudgalyayana commented 3 years ago

Sorry, it was a typo. I created a folder .themes and .icons already.

Elbullazul commented 3 years ago

what version of mint are you running, and what desktop?

And does the GTK theme show up in the options?

maudgalyayana commented 3 years ago

I am using Linux Mint 20 with Cinnamon Desktop. The problem also occurs with Mint 19 Cinnamon.

The theme does not show up under the category "symbols" (see image below).

it shows up on mine: image

try running this in a terminal:

sudo apt install git -y

cd ~/.icons
git clone https://github.com/B00merang-Artwork/Windows-7

see if it appears in the list

Now it works in both Linux Mint 19 and 20 thanks to your solution. I can choose the icon theme from the list. Thank you very much!
