Hi there,

Numix Circle is my default icon theme on my Arch Linux 64-bit installation.

However, Thunderbird (with default theme) does not use Numix Circle for all icons. It seems to be a mix between Numix (see the Reload button) and another icon theme (default I assume).

Any idea how to teach Thunderbird to just use Numix for the default theme?

Used version: thunderbird 31.1.2-1

Thank you very much! :)

Funda le mpendulo kwimeko leyo

Isisombululo esiKhethiweyo

if you want to use icons that are not in the default theme, you do want to use another theme. Icons are Thunderbird icons. What your desktop Linux theme is is totally irrelevant to the process as Thunderbird uses the icons packaged in the theme.

I assume you install the theme https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/numix-gtk3theme/

Hi Matt,

I don't want to use any other theme. I want to stick to the Default TB theme because I very much like it. I simply want to replace its default icons with the Numix Circle Icon theme.

Thank you. I will clone the default theme and just change the icon theme then!
