Here are four icon packs for your Ubuntu

La desktop customization it is one of the things most often called by Linux users. There is no doubt that being able to change practically any aspect of what you see on the screen is a great attraction for many. It can't be used as a compelling reason in those typical "I like Linux better because ..." discussions, but it is true that our favorite operating system does like it. that we are comfortable with him and that we can leave it to our liking.

That is why in this article we have thought of bringing you four icon packs so you can customize your Ubuntu desktop as you like best, in an elegant and colorful way. We take this opportunity to remember that to apply these changes it is necessary to have Unity Tweaks and GNOME Tweaks if you use either of those two desks. Let's go there!

Rave X Colors

RAVE X Icon Theme is a fusion of various visual themes for Linux which include Fanenza, Elementary and others. It incorporates folders with a design based on Elementary OS and comes in twelve different colors, adapting perfectly to darker or brighter panels, as well as different toolbars.

Shadow

Shadow is an icon pack flat, with an appearance similar to Google's Material Design, and very reminiscent of an icon pack for Android called Voxel.
