In the mean time here’s the simple fix so your ‘Places’ menu icons match the rest of your theme!
Open up a terminal. Done that? Good. Now copy ‘n’ paste the following lines: –
sudo rm -f /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/places/inode-directory.svg
sudo rm -f /usr/share/icons/gnome/32×32/places/inode-directory.png
sudo rm -f /usr/share/icons/gnome/24×24/places/inode-directory.png
sudo rm -f /usr/share/icons/gnome/22×22/places/inode-directory.png
sudo rm -f /usr/share/icons/gnome/16×16/places/inode-directory.png
sudo rm -f /usr/share/icons/gnome/icon-theme.cache
Finish up by using this command:
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -qf /usr/share/icons/gnome
Restart and when you log back in the ‘Places’ icon should now match your icon theme
