Can't use icon packs

I want to install a theme, icon pack and cursor pack, but many roadblocks arise:

  1. When I install the theme, either by installing it via settings or moving it to ~/themes, it asks me for a specific icon pack
  2. after researching on mate-look I find the Icon pack and install it, but it still doesn't work
  3. Mouse themes are non-existent

To install icon theme pack, you can drop the icon pack(s) into the directory

~/.icons

NOTE: That is a hidden directory.

I don't know if you need to log out and log back in for it to be visible.

Likewise, personalized GUI themes should be dropped into

~/.themes

for the system to auto-recognize them and offer you their selection.

If you mean Mouse icon themes, those packs should be dropped into the previously mentioned icon theme directory.

Hi, @PeteBoi64 and welcome to the Ubuntu MATE Community!

I did as eric with success with many years. Note, icon packs need to be unpacked before drop it in these folders.
