The icon set has a nice name – Uniform. This set of icon is quite different than most others. It obviously follows the current trend like flat icons, but definitely not “yet another pair of Google icons” for Linux.

Getting Uniform

The icon theme is available at GitHub and GNOME-Look. For GNOME users, use the openDesktop app for installing the icon theme from GNOME-Look. Other users can enjoy the GitHub method for installing on any Linux distro.

For following GitHub method, you have to have Git in your system. Run the following command for downloading from GitHub –

git clone https://github.com/0rAX0/uniform-icon-theme.git

Inside the Uniform directory, place the folder in the icon directory.

cd uniform-icon-theme
sudo mv Uniform /usr/share/icons/

Alternatively, for installing the icon for the current user only, run the following commands –

mkdir ~/.icons
mv Uniform ~/.icons

Activating the theme

If you’ve installed the theme using openDesktop method, you can easily activate the theme from the app directly, no need to tweak the system.

But if you followed the GitHub procedure, you have to activate it manually. You can look out for settings like “appearance”, “theme” or “icon” in your distro’s app launcher or app finder.

Like changing the look of the system, you can also change the look of all the apps by applying various icon theme packs. Changing the icons is also a nice way of refreshment. Today, let’s take a look at the cool-looking Papirus icon theme.

Downloading Papirus icon theme

• Ubuntu

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:papirus/papirus
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install papirus-icon-theme

• Debian and Debian-derivatives

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/papirus/papirus/ubuntu xenial main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/papirus-ppa.list"

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com E58A9D36647CAE7F
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install papirus-icon-theme

• Universal method

This method will work for all the Linux distros. That’s why we’ll be following this method today to install the icon pack. Run the following command:

# Installing under ROOT directory (recommended)
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/master/install.sh | sh

# HOME directory for GTK
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/master/install.sh | DESTDIR="$HOME/.local/share/icons" sh

# For BSD systems
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/master/install.sh | DESTDIR="/usr/local/share/icons" sh

# Uninstall the icon
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/master/uninstall.sh | sh

# Note that for Qt4 apps, you need to have "libqt4-svg" for proper working with the theme

Enabling the theme

Once the download is complete, you can easily activate the theme directly on your system. Depending on each distro, the method varies. However, just look out for “Appearance” or “Theme” in your system settings. You should come up with a similar option.

Voila! Papirus theme is activated!
