22 Linux Icon Sets that are Great

Once of the best things about FOSS is the amount of customization it allows for! So why leave your Linux desktop bland with the default icon set that comes with your distribution? There are many good icon sets out there, the following are the names and screen shots of the best ones I've collected from around the web over the years (if you use Bodhi Linux you can easily install any of these icon sets via our art page):



Candy

Clarity

Darkfire


Elementary

Faenza

Fast Forward (FFW)

Gartoon Redux

GMetalik

Jungle

LagaDesk

Last Amazing Grays

Lynx Black

Mac

MaXo ReMix

Nuovext2

Oxygen Refit

Ubo

Wood

Forgive me for not providing a link to the last icon set - I can not seem to locate where I had downloaded it from some time ago.

Do you have a favorite icon set on your Linux desktop that I did not list here? If so let me know - always looking for new things to play with on my desktops!

  4. Anything that trys to resemble a failOS (mac osx in this case) should be invalid from this list.

  5. try the Satanic Icon Theme for ubuntu! they're really original and cute!
    to install the theme you first need to activate the repository (http://ubuntusatanic.org/installation.php), then the best and easiest way to install it is via synaptic, look for the satanic-icon-themes package.
