Choose

Choose an icon pack (e.g. here).


Install

The first reflex to have is to search the icons you chose with your package manager, if it's not there then you can install it manually. E.g. some popular icons on Arch Linux:

$ sudo pacman -S arc-icon-theme adwaita-icon-theme hicolor-icon-theme

How to manually install icons system wide

Download, extract, and copy the icons pack in /usr/share/icons, then run:

$ sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f -t /usr/share/icons/<icons-pack-name>

How to manually install a font user wide

Download, extract, and copy the icons pack in ~/.local/share/icons, then run:

$ gtk-update-icon-cache -f -t ~/.local/share/icons/<icons-pack-name>


Config

No configuration required.


Use

Select the icon theme using the appropriate configuration tool for your desktop environment or window manager.
