Paper is a modern freedesktop icon theme (with a companion cursor theme) featuring bold colors and simple geometric shapes inspired by Material Design. It is installed via Meson and can be selected in GNOME Tweak Tool or via gsettings.

Use cases

  • give my linux desktop a material design icon theme
  • install a pixel-perfect icon set for gnome
  • change the default icon theme on ubuntu
  • find a matching cursor theme for my icons
  • customize my desktop environment's look with flat icons

When to choose

  • you want a Material Design-inspired icon theme for a freedesktop-compliant Linux desktop
  • you prefer bold colors and simple geometric icon shapes
  • you need a matching cursor theme to complement your icons

When to avoid

  • you need actively maintained icons for new applications, since the project is discontinued
  • you are not on a freedesktop-based desktop environment like GNOME
  • you require a theme with ongoing icon request fulfillment
