10 My all-time favorite icon theme. Literally no complaints. Supports a massive amount of apps.

roobertjackjr

10 A nice clean and minimalist theme for those who like simple colors without too much shine, compatibility even with Flatpak icons something that other icon themes failed to implement. Could you please update the Deezer icon to the new purple heart one?

pacmaniac

10 Besides being beautiful, it's the most complete icon pack I've ever used. Thank you!

10 It is clear what each of the icons are for, even if there are smaller versions displayed in the Application Launcher. I really like how minimal and clean these icons are.

How can I have multiple versions installed? I use the black folders while on light themes and white folders while on dark themes. How can I have the two installed in my $HOME/.local/share/icons, since installing the second overwrites the first

regern80

or is there a way to choose folder colors for nautilus?

An Icon Theme should have a valid .theme file among its files and aim to be complete for desktop use under Gnome or KDE Plasma.

If it contains only a single icon or a small set of icons, please use the Icon Sub-Sets or Single Icon/Logo categories instead.
