A circular app icon theme for Linux desktops, designed to complement the Numix base icon theme.
Numix Circle is an app icon theme for Linux desktop environments that provides a uniform set of circular icons for applications. It is designed to be used alongside the Numix base icon theme to create a cohesive visual experience across the desktop interface. The project solves the problem of inconsistent and outdated application icons by offering a modern, community-maintained alternative.
Linux users who want to customize their desktop appearance, particularly those using GNOME, KDE, XFCE, or other desktop environments that support icon themes. It's also relevant for Linux distribution maintainers who package desktop customization tools.
Developers and users choose Numix Circle because it offers a professionally designed, consistent icon set that is freely available and actively maintained by the open-source community. Its wide distribution support and compatibility with additional scripts for fixing hardcoded icons provide a polished experience out of the box.
