A square-shaped app icon theme for Linux desktops, built on top of the Numix base icon theme.
Numix Square is a square-shaped app icon theme for Linux desktop environments that provides a modern, consistent visual style. It replaces default application icons with uniform square designs and is built to work alongside the Numix base icon theme. The project solves the problem of inconsistent and outdated icon aesthetics across Linux applications.
Linux desktop users who want to customize their system's appearance, particularly those using GNOME, KDE, XFCE, or other desktop environments that support icon themes.
Developers choose Numix Square for its clean, consistent design, wide distribution support through official repositories, and compatibility with tools that fix hardcoded icons and Steam game icons.

Available in official repositories for Debian, Fedora, and Ubuntu, with simple install commands like 'sudo apt install numix-icon-theme-square' for easy setup.
Includes nightly builds via PPA for Ubuntu derivatives and community packages for Arch and Gentoo, ensuring up-to-date versions and broader compatibility.
Compatible with the hardcode-fixer script to address applications with hardcoded icons, as noted in the README's support list for enhanced theming.
Works with Steam Icons Fixer script to apply theme icons to running Steam games, extending consistency to gaming applications.
Requires installation alongside the Numix base icon theme for panel icons to function correctly, adding complexity and potential for misconfiguration.
Not all icons are automatically themed; hardcoded icons and Steam games need external scripts, which may not cover all applications or require extra steps.
Icon requests are handled solely by volunteers through a separate repository, leading to potential delays or incomplete coverage for niche apps.
