Papirus is a free and open source SVG icon theme for Linux, based on the Paper Icon Set, with thousands of pixel-perfect icons for apps, actions, places, and mimetypes. It ships in multiple variants (Papirus, Papirus Dark, Papirus Light) and includes extras like Hardcode-Tray support, KDE colorscheme support, and Folder Color support.
Use cases
- give my Linux desktop a modern flat icon theme
- install icons for GNOME or KDE that match a dark theme
- fix hardcoded tray icons on my panel
- make folder icons color-coded on Linux
- find an icon theme with wide app coverage for Ubuntu
When to choose
- you want a polished, actively maintained icon theme for a Linux desktop environment
- you need dark/light variants and broad application icon coverage
- you use KDE and want icons that follow your colorscheme
When to avoid
- you need icons for Windows, macOS, or non-Linux desktops (an Android variant exists separately)
- you want a minimal icon set with very few icons
- you need a full GTK/Qt theme rather than just icons
