I use the Sphere icons on Gnome.
I have a single problem with the 3.22 update, the icon for nautilus has changed, it is now the default one.
I have checked the *.desktop file in /usr/share/applications and I was surprised to see no nautilus.desktop file.
Instead I have nautilus-autorun-software.desktop and nautilus-classic.desktop.
I tried to edit both files so that they point to the right icon but nothing has changed.

I think the desktop file for nautilus is org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop
Also sometimes gnome seems to load the default icon instead of the one from theme, but restarting gnome shell, or switching to another icon theme and back seems to fix this for me.

I'm having the same problem with the Numix-Circle Icons, and changing icon themes or restarting Gnome Shell did not fix the problem. Any other ideas?

Hmmm I have the same issue, haven't found a resolution so far.

It seems like a lot of things went crazy with the most recent GNOME update: in addition to this, my two finger scrolling is now reversed, and Evolution no longer appears in the system tray along with suddenly no longer talking to my calendars. I almost want to switch to XFCE.

The file is org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop and the icon is now org.gnome.Nautilus. Change it to nautilus in the .desktop file and you are mostly fine. Same with Totem.

You can configure this in Gnome settings for each touchpad. It is the "Natural scrolling" option being turned on (blame Apple for that stupid name).

Excellent, worked a treat.

OK sorry if I'm being dumb here but I'm not 100% sure how that works. I ran a search for org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop, opened the file, went down to Icon and changed the value from org.gnome.Nautilus to just Nautilus. Still have the default icon. Am I doing something wrong?

No capital N, just nautilus.

I would change it to "system-file-manager" instead of "nautilus"

Also it's not good idea to edit .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/, as it will be overwritten next time the package gets updated.
Instead, copy the desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications/, and edit it there.

No need to modify the nautilus desktop file. The problem is actually that the numix circle git project changed how the repos were organized back in August, so the revision numbers reset. So if you installed 'numix-circle-icon-theme-git' prior to that, then AUR managers like yaourt and pacaur haven't been properly detecting that newer versions are available. Just uninstall numix-circle-icon-theme-git and then reinstall and you will be fine. The newer version that will be pulled then has support for the new icon string "org.gnome.Nautilus" used in Nautilus 3.22. Avoid the haste of maintaining desktop file icon changes, stay stock.

What leebickmtu said. I personally use an icon pack merge that wasn't updated since I last messed with it (Sierra, back filled by Capitan - both on gnome-look) - so doing what others mentioned here worked by copying the old icon and rename as "org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop" (there were some other affected icons as well, forget what they were). As others mentioned this should be done in your home folder, not the system folder. There are tutorials on how to copy the icons in the system folder to your home folder. You can also skip the AUR and just get the icons from github or gnome-look directly and drop them in the appropriate home folder, they'll show up in tweak-tool.
