Boston Icons on GNOME 3.32

Boston is an icon theme inspired by functionalist design and a touch of early computer icons. The project is focused on elemental properties, basic shapes, a reduced color palette and color hierarchy. A minimalist and elegant look for your desktop.

Also is inspired by the principles of good design, and apply it for the desktop in order to be:

  1. Honest
  2. Aesthetic
  3. Understandable
  4. Unobtrusive
  5. Minimal

Created for the Linux desktop ecosystem, this icon theme is intended to be used with GNOME Shell 3.32 or higher and adapt well with its default settings.

Since version 0.2, Boston Icons are completely designed anew considering different things to make an evolution, improving its design, increasing the drawing quality and solving failures of previous versions.


Production priorities:

  1. System folders and file types
  2. Some symbolic icons and apps without own native symbolic
  3. Outdated or bad looking icons (low resolution, etc)
  4. Rest of collection (priority according to the needs)

This project is focused on quality, not quantity.
