Paper Icon Theme
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Paper is a modern freedesktop icon theme whose design is based around the use of bold colours and simple geometric shapes to compose icons. Each icon has been meticulously designed for pixel-perfect viewing.
|
|
|
|
While it does take some inspiration from the icons in Google's Material Design, some aspects have been adjusted to better suit a desktop environment.

##Missing Icons & Requests
|
|
|
|
When filing an icon request or reporting a missing icon, please take care in providing the following useful information:
|
|
|
|
- A screenshot of your issue or an image of the original icon you are requesting to be themed
|
|
- The file name for the missing icon or the requested icon, for example `gimp.png` or `system-shutdown.svg`
|
|
- A short description of the application or software that you are requesting an icon for.
|
|
|
|
Note: some software ships hardcoded icons, meaning when you install icons are not placed in the system-wide directory `/usr/share/icons` which makes them unthemeable.
