Humanity Icons for Cpufreq

By , Published October 4, 2009

CPUFREQ applet allows you to control your CPU speed directly from the gnome-panel. It sadly comes with some of the most awful looking icons ever created!

If you’re using Karmic (or the humanity theme in general) you can replace these icons to match the rest of your sleek new panel.

Replace CPUFREQ Icons

Download your preferred humanity-style cpufreq icons from gnome-look @ : –

Save the tarbell to your desktop or home folder and then extract. (Right click > extract).

Open a terminal and type: -

  • gksudo nautilus /usr/share/pixmaps/cpufreq-applet/

Now just drag-and-drop the icons from your extract folder into the directory – allowing them to be replaced.

If you’re conscious of borkups you can create a folder inside the directory to move the old icons into.

    its great but i hope it will come by default with the PPA for humanity, because i don’t like to use these tar balls.

      the tarbell is only of the replacement CPUFREQ icons, so you won’t be replacing everything :)

      They’re just part of the humanity icon set included in karmic and are used for setting your status in pidgin/emapthy,

    Too bad I can’t get cpufreq to work correctly. It won’t let me change the governor.
