Comment 3 for bug 883314

Hey Lei, replying to your comments:

> However, in Ubuntu 11.10, the default theme is ubuntu-mono-dark, but all the icons are in the Humanity theme.

in fact themes can be "chained", the ubuntu-mono index.themes indexes load Humanity,gnome,hicolor so icons in all those directories will be used

> So how are applications that need mime icons suppose to find them on a default install of Ubuntu 11.10? All the icons are in the Humanity folder. Are we expected to look there?

do you use the gtk api for icons lookup? they should just do the right thing and look into the directories of the other themes listed in index.themes, which includes "humanity"

Now if you want chromium to just work with any theme you can probably add a Recommends on gnome-icon-theme-full which will give you the GNOME icons, those should be only required when using a theme which doesn't ship its own icons, which is probably the case if you use i.e the GNOME theme
