Ubuntu / Linux news and application reviews.


The guys behind the RAVEfinity project have released an updated Humanity Colors icon theme for Ubuntu 14.04 (and older), which work great with Ambiance and Radiance Colors GTK themes.

The Humanity Colors icon theme pack includes the default Ubuntu icon theme - Humanity -, in 9 different colors: blue, brown, graphite, green, orange (different from the default Humanity orange), pink, purple, red and yellow, all available for both dark and light panels.

The icon theme pack should work with Unity, GNOME (Shell), Xfce, LXDE, Openbox and probably other DEs/shells too.

Here are a few screenshots with the updated Humanity Colors icon pack (and Ambiance Colors) in Ubuntu 14.04:
