Every Linux distribution comes with a couple of nice and clean icons themes. Many users just stick to only those themes and never try other awesome themes they’ve in the bag. In this article, I’m going to list out 10 best Flat design icon Gnome themes that you’re going to love. So let’s start.
Best Linux Icon Themes

2. Flat Remix Icons
As the name suggests Flat remix icons are the flat icon designs.
3. Simply Circles
This set of icons is simple but unique. The outline design looks beautiful on dark and light themes. There are different colors variations such as red, blue, orange, etc.
4. Zafiro icons
Another Flat icon gnome theme for flat design lovers. Zafiro icons are available in 8 colors and my favorite one is ‘Black Red’.

That’s it
So that’s it. Above are the 10 best Flat icon gnome themes. There are a ton of icon sets for Gnome distributions and you might be using icons that I haven’t listed above. Just let me know which ones you’re using in the comment section below.
Aren’t these icon sets for Gnome rather than “Linux”? You are aware that there are other graphical user interfaces.
Yes they’re all for Gnome. 🙂 Thanks for mentioning that.
I fail to see the attraction of the flat icons. they’re ugly and harder to pick out against a busy background.
Just because simplified icons are desirable on low-power devices like phones doesn’t mean they should be crammed down the throats of all computer users.
Hey Fred, Mister Goldiloxx and article author.
I am creator of Suru++. Suru++ is NOT flat or minimalist, NOT Material Design because all they possess gradients.
I rejected the conservatism, traditionalism, flatism and minimalism because I wanted to modernise, cyberpunkise and to futuristify. Since versions 20 and 25, I made all my Suru++ icons family less conservative and traditional Bonandry’s Suru++ Ubuntu and reimaged all them with a new cyberpunk futuristic look whose new colours palette inspired by the most of sci-fi films and series and 80s and 90s cyberpunk retro-futuristic music genres:
* Altered Carbon
* Blade Runner 2065
* Krypton
* Man of Steel
* TRON Legacy
* Star Wars
* Star Trek
Agree 100%. I’ve never understood the attraction either.
Please read my answer I gave to Fred.
