Description: This is the legendary Noia icon theme updated to work on modern systems. The original author is Carlitus (https://www.deviantart.com/carlitus). Enjoy!
EDIT: Did the Noia Warm theme, as well.Last changelog:
Added folder-chrome and wine
Was really hoping I could find something like a noia-styled start-menu icon for wine, but instead I just ripped it from the wine mime icon. The folder-chrome icon is just the folder with a chrome logo superimposed.
This was working for me on Ubuntu 18.04 and is not in 20.04. Both are using GNOME Flashback Metacity. Icons in the menu for e.g., Education, Internet, and Office.
I'm very sorry that I never replied to this. I don't have any GTK-based desktops to test this theme on, but if you let me know specifically which icons aren't working, I can create some symlinks (this is largely how I made this theme compatible with current KDE). If it's a big list, I guess you could PM it to me (I think opendesktop has PMs?)
Yes, I am still using the icons. I tried to update my machine running Ubuntu 20.04/GNOME 3.36.5/Metacity and I'll see how that goes. I have a new machine on which I installed 20.04 and then did a release upgrade to 22.04 after it came out last month. I haven't installed the icons on that yet and I'll let you know how it goes. screenfetch isn't reporting the DE or WM for 22.04 so I don't readily have that information available, but the WM is vanilla GNOME.
Any chance you could come up with an icon for WINE to go on the menu? Maybe one for "Chrome Apps" too?

And thanks for looking into this and making the icons.
To be clear, I didn't actually make the icons, I just updated the theme to work with current-gen freedesktop systems. I don't, unfortunately, have the skills to draw an icon that would fit with this theme, but I'll see if I can find something that would fit these two things.
As a warning, though, it's pretty likely that the "chrome apps" menu is directly using the folder icon. You might be able to help me out by opening up your menu in a menu editor and trying to see what icon that menu is trying to use. I don't know how easy this will be because I am unfamiliar with Gnome, for the most part. I think xdg menus are normally xml files, but I'm not 100% sure.
Well, I added wine. For the chromeapps, I made a "folder-chrome" icon and symlinked it to "folder-chromeapps." If you ever figure out what the default icon is supposed to be called, I'll symlink it to that as well.
Actually, turns out that the large (64x64 and 128x128) icons got corrupted somehow or something? I'm going to reupload. If you're still trying to use this in 2022, let me know if it works
