## What it is
Candy Icons is a colorful icon theme featuring sweet gradient-styled icons for Linux desktop environments. It is installed into the system icons directory and applied via GNOME tweak tools or terminal commands.

## Use cases
- customize my linux desktop icons with a gradient theme

- make my file manager icons look colorful and modern
- find an icon theme to pair with the Sweet GTK theme
- download free svg icons for my linux setup

## When to choose
- you want a vibrant, gradient-colored icon theme for a Linux desktop
- you use GNOME or a tweak-tool-compatible environment and want easy theming
- you want to match the Sweet GTK theme ecosystem

## When to avoid
- you need application icons for a website or mobile app rather than a desktop icon theme

- you need monochrome or flat minimalist icons
