After install, I received this warning ‘This theme will not look as intended because the required icon theme ‘Faenza-Dark’ is not installed’. How can I fix this problem, please help. I like it, very nice. Thanks you very much.

Why does a theme need a repository?
[Reply]
@kidvn : you can install the Faenza icon theme from PPA using :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tiheum/equinox
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install faenza-icon-theme
Once installed, just reload the Orta theme and the icon set will be detected…
