### 🖼 Description
|
||
|
||
**Mint-Relaxed-Icons** is a modern, unified icon set designed to complement the [Mint-Relaxed GTK theme](https://www.pling.com/p/2302153/).
|
||
It aims to deliver a clean and visually consistent desktop experience for Linux Mint Cinnamon users — but it works well with other GTK-based desktops too.
|
||
|
||
The set includes redesigned system icons, updated application icons, and custom folder styles to enhance clarity and harmony across the system.
|
||
|
||
It is partially based on open source icon themes licensed under the GPL, such as:
|
||
|
||
* **Breeze** – many icons were used as-is or modified
|
||
* **Numix-Circle** – used occasionally for some application icons
|
||
* **Papirus** – used in very small parts (e.g., one or two icons)
|
||
* **Hicolor** – one or two icons included from this fallback theme
|
||
|
||
I also drew inspiration from a Breeze-based icon theme called Relax, which has a beautiful folder design. Unfortunately, that theme was missing many icons for Cinnamon and GNOME-based desktops. Therefore, I:
|
||
|
||
* Redesigned many outdated icons to match the modern aesthetic
|
||
* Created many icons from scratch
|
||
* Carefully curated and unified the look to match the Cinnamon environment
