The application and category icons originate from the Moka icon theme:

The device icons originate from the Paper icon theme:

The mimetype icons originate from the Elementary icon theme:

The places, action and panel icons originate from the Papirus theme:

You can generate your own Mint-Y icon colors theme easily.

Say you want to generate a «Suse» theme with these colors:

1. Go to src/places
2. In generate-color-variations.py , each VARIANTS.append() line defines a color variant.
3. Add an extra line with the proper name and color codes and save the file. For instance, to make the Suse theme you would add this line:

1. Run ./generate-color-variations.py . This generates Suse.svg .
2. Run ./render_places.py Suse . This generates the new icon theme in ../../usr/share/icons/Mint-Y-Suse .
3. You can test your theme by copying it to /usr/share/icons/ or ~/.icons/
4. This theme only contains places icons, but it inherits Mint-Y, so you can package it or distribute it to anyone who already has Mint-Y installed.

To find circular symbolic links:

To find broken links use ./deadlinks or:

To find files with spaces in their filenames (that breaks the icon cache generation):

How To Install Icon Themes In Linux Mint Cinnamon [Beginner Tip]

If you think the default Mint themes and icons are not good enough for you, why not change it? In this quick tip for beginners, we shall see how to install icon themes in Linux Mint 18 and more than that how to change the icons in Linux Mint. We shall see this quick tutorial by installing gorgeous Paper icon theme.

Just a quick note, if you do not know it already, there is a difference between ‘themes’ and ‘icon themes’. An icon theme just changes the look of icons while a theme changes a lot of other things along with the looks of icons.

Install icon themes in Linux Mint 18:

There are two ways to install icon themes in Linux Mint (and many other Linux distributions, if not all). If you download the icon theme in a zipped folder, you can extract it in ~/.icons directory. Usually, this directory does not exist. Feel free to create it.

The second way to install an icon theme is using a PPA. Most of the standard and popular icon themes have their own PPA. Lets see how to install Moka icons set in Mint using PPA.

Install Paper icon set in Linux Mint 18:

Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and use the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:snwh/pulp sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install paper-icon-theme

Change icons in Linux Mint 18:

Changing an icon theme in Ubuntu was straight forward. It is slightly hidden in Linux Mint though. Once you have installed the icon themes, go to Settings from the Menu. And then go to Themes.

Now you might have realized why I said that changing the icon is slightly hidden in Linux Mint. It is inside Themes option. To change only the icon, click on Icons there.

You’ll see all the icons set available here. Choose the one you like.

The changes will be reflected immediately. No need of a restart. Here is how my Linux Mint desktop looks after applying Moka icon themes:

I hope you find this quick to install and change icon themes in Linux Mint helpful. Don’t forget to check the best icon themes in Ubuntu, you’ll find some beautiful icons there to make your desktop prettier. Any questions, suggestion, thoughts? Feel free to drop a comment.
