Papirus is a free and open source SVG icon theme for Linux, based on Paper Icon Set with a lot of new icons and a few extras, like Hardcode-Tray support, KDE colorscheme support, Folder Color support, and a few others.
Android version available here.
Papirus icon theme is available in five variants:
You can install Papirus from our official PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:papirus/papirus sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install papirus-icon-theme # Papirus, Papirus-Dark, and Papirus-Light
or download .deb packages from here.
Debian users can also install Papirus from our PPA, but the command line instructions differ:
sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/papirus/papirus/ubuntu jammy main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/papirus-ppa.list" sudo wget -qO /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/papirus-ppa.asc 'https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x9461999446FAF0DF770BFC9AE58A9D36647CAE7F' sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install papirus-icon-theme

Note
If you are a maintainer and want to be on this list, please create an issue or make a pull request.
Some software uses an absolute path instead of an icon name in a .desktop file or in the source code which makes them unthemable.
Hardcoded application iconsTo deal with hardcoded application icons we recommend using hardcode-fixer. Papirus supports most of the applications in the list. If hardcode-fixer doesn't support your favorite app yet, please open an issue here or edit your .desktop file manually.
To fix hardcoded tray icons Papirus supports Hardcode-Tray script. A list of supported applications is available here.
Important
To get Papirus to work right with Hardcode-Tray, use the hardcode-tray option --conversion-tool RSVGConvert
:
sudo -E hardcode-tray --conversion-tool RSVGConvert --size 22 --theme Papirus
Size recommendations:
Note
Some Electron-based applications have blurred tray icon on KDE (see bug report). To solve this issue pass the following environment variable to the app: XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity wire-desktop
To fix icons of running Steam games, you can use the Steam Icons Fixer script, that will apply all available icons from our icon theme to your installed games.
Note
This is probably depreciated with Plasma 6. Choose Papirus variant according to your color scheme because some symbolic icons are not recolorable.
Support for monochrome icons for KDE colorscheme is now available:
Papirus has Folder Color v0.0.80+ support that allows you to change a color of a folder.
Available colors:
For KDE, colors of individual folders can be changed using dolphin-folder-color.
Also, you can use our papirus-folders script to change the color of folders system-wide.
Papirus users are expected to have Breeze installed if they use Plasma and/or any KDE applications
We recommend the following GTK themes to use with Papirus icons:
For KDE Plasma 5, our recommendations are:
For Pop!_OS users who want to use the Pop!_Shop icon (instead of the default Elementary Appcentre icon):
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications/
cp /usr/share/applications/io.elementary.appcenter.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
desktop-file-edit --set-icon=pop-shop ~/.local/share/applications/io.elementary.appcenter.desktop
For Cinnamon users
For Cinnamon users who want to use Papirus icon theme with Arc theme we recommend fixing the color icons on panel:
sudo sed -i.orig 's/white/#d3dae3/g' /usr/share/themes/Arc-Dark/cinnamon/cinnamon.css
To deal with blurry panel icons, increase the panel size to 30px in Systems Settings
→ Panel
(see the screenshot).
For GNOME users we recommend installing the following extensions:
¹ On Ubuntu 18.04+ it is pre-installed.

For better representation we recommend using only the light eGTK Theme:
echo "export GTK_THEME=elementary" >> ~/.profile
Restart the system to apply new changes .
