Drab Desktop? Try These 4 Beautiful Linux Icon Themes
|

================================================================================

**Ubuntu’s default icon theme [hasn’t changed much][1] in almost 5 years, save for the [odd new icon here and there][2]. If you’re tired of how it looks we’re going to show you a handful of gorgeous alternatives that will easily freshen things up.**

### Captiva ###
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Captiva icons, elementary folders and Moka GTK
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Captiva is a relatively new icon theme that even the least bling-prone user can appreicate.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Made by DeviantArt user ~[bokehlicia][3], Captiva shuns the 2D flat look of many current icon themes for a softer, rounded look. The icons themselves have an almost material or textured look, with subtle drop shadows and a rich colour palette adding to the charm.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It doesn’t yet include a set of its own folder icons, and will fallback to using elementary (if available) or stock Ubuntu icons.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To install Captiva icons in Ubuntu 14.04 you can add the official PPA by opening a new Terminal window and enter the following commands:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:captiva/ppa
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install captiva-icon-theme
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Or, if you’re not into software source cruft, by downloading the icon pack direct from the DeviantArt page. To install, extract the archive and move the resulting folder to the ‘.icons‘ directory in Home.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
However you choose to install it, you’ll need to apply this (and every other theme on this list) using a utility like [Unity Tweak Tool][4].

### Square Beam ###
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Square Beam icon set with Orchis GTK
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
After something a bit angular? Check out Square Beam. It offers a more imposing visual statement than other sets on this list, with electric colours, harsh gradients and stark iconography. It claims to have more than 30,000 different icons (!) included (you’ll forgive me for not counting) so you should find very few gaps in its coverage.

### Moka & Faba ###
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Moka/Faba Mono Icons with Orchis GTK
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Moka icon suite needs little introduction. In fact, I’d wager a good number of you are already using it
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
With pastel colours, soft edges and simple icon artwork, Moka is a truly standout and comprehensive set of application icons. It’s best used with its sibling, Faba, which Moka will inherit so as to fill in all the system icons, folders, panel icons, etc. The combined result is…well, you’ve got eyes!

|||

### Compass ###
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Compass Icon Theme with Numix Blue GTK
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Last on our list, but by no means least, is Compass. This is a true adherent to the ’2D, two-tone’ UI design right now. It may not be as visually diverse as others on this list, but that’s the point. It’s consistent and uniform and all the better for it — just check out those folder icons!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It’s available to download and install manually through GNOME-Look (link below) or through the Nitrux Artwork PPA:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nitrux/nitrux-artwork
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install compass-icon-theme
|
