A third-party icon theme for Linux desktops, based on GNOME's Adwaita with extended coverage and modern flat design.
Adwaita++ is an enhanced third-party icon theme for Linux desktop environments, built as an extension of the official GNOME Adwaita icon set. It provides a consistent, elegant, and modern visual experience by filling gaps in the original set with extended icon coverage across actions, apps, devices, mimetypes, places, and status categories. The project aims to deliver a unified and attractive interface out-of-the-box for a broad range of Linux distributions.
Linux desktop users and system administrators who use GNOME, GTK, or KDE desktop environments and seek a more complete and visually cohesive icon set than the default Adwaita. It is also for users who want easy customization options, such as alternative Firefox icons.
Developers choose Adwaita++ over the base Adwaita theme because it offers significantly extended icon coverage, reducing missing icons for various applications and system elements. Its unique selling point is maintaining the cohesive Adwaita design language while providing broader compatibility across more than 20 distributions and offering one-line installation scripts for effortless setup.

The beta/dev version is explicitly warned to have unstability, bugs, and broken elements, making it risky for production use and requiring cautious updates.
Changing icons like Firefox requires navigating directories and running terminal commands for symbolic linking, which can be cumbersome and error-prone for non-technical users.
The README links to a wiki about bugs from a related theme (Suru++ Ubuntu), indicating that some issues may not be fully resolved or could be inherited.
