Install Faenza Icon theme in Ubuntu using the commands below:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tiheum/equinox
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install faenza-icon-theme

Note: the versions in the PPA are a bit weird: the latest Faenza 0.9.2 has version "0.9-ubuntu3" but that's the latest version nevertheless.

If you don't use Ubuntu, get the latest Faenza Icon Theme 0.9.2 via Gnome Look.
