## What it is
MoreWaita is an expanded Adwaita-styled companion icon theme for GNOME Shell that adds icons for popular third-party apps and MIME types. It complements rather than replaces the original Adwaita icon set, giving non-GNOME applications a consistent look.

## Use cases
- make third-party apps look native on GNOME
- find an Adwaita-compatible icon theme
- fix missing icons for apps on GNOME Shell
- give Linux Mint or Ubuntu a consistent GNOME icon look
- add MIME type icons to a GNOME desktop
- style branded app icons in Adwaita flat style

## When to choose
- you use GNOME Shell and want third-party apps to match Adwaita styling
- you want brand-colored icons that still fit the Adwaita flat aesthetic
- you want a companion theme that never overrides existing Adwaita or GNOME Circle icons

## When to avoid
- you use KDE Plasma or another non-GNOME desktop environment
- you need an all-inclusive theme covering every application icon today
- you want to fully replace the Adwaita icon theme rather than extend it
