Hi,
At first, I wanted to tell that I'm a total newbie in the Linux world, Mint XFCE (32-bit) is my first system. My problem is that some icon packs won't show in 'Appearance' menu after copying them to '/usr/share/icons'. Some of them show, but when I apply them, they are missing many icons. Yet another crash the 'Appearance', that it closes after second. Installing by terminal or .deb packages gives the same result. Can you help me, please? I would be grateful.

Re: Icon pack problem
As mentioned in the link in the last post, installing themes & icons is something you need to be careful about. Gnome has a bad habit of breaking their own themes when they release a new version. It's a bucket of worms and I usually avoid them.
I'll tell you one thing, I wouldn't touch icons/themes that have to be installed from a ppa or .deb file or a tarball. I rarely install app software that way ... Chrome and MakeMKV are the only ones I can think of, and I have no ppa sources on 2 mint installs. For OS/DE things, no frakking way.
Maybe you could search in Synaptic Package Manager for some of the xfce icons in this link:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Icons#Xfce_icons
I use the Arch wikis often for tech stuff. They're excellent. But Arch Linux isn't debian based like ubuntu/mint so the software packaging/installation (among some other things) isn't exactly the same. Arch isn't beginner friendly even for Arch users.
Linux is very, very stable. More so than WIndows. But you can destabilize it. Stick to the repos unless there's something you absolutely need that isn't there, and that's unlikely.

If you say so, then I think I will wait for the fixByeByeXP wrote:Hopefully, the fix for this (a system-level library updated in ubuntu 15.04) will be backported soon to LM 17.3 ...
Thank you both for help!
