Ubuntu – download the Gnome 3 Icons

gnomeicons

After poking around on the Internet for awhile, I haven't been able to find the default icons used in Gnome 3 anywhere. My requirements are fairly simple:

  • SVGs would be nice, but not necessary
  • This doesn't need to be installable as an icon theme in Ubuntu
  • A compressed folder with all of the icons would be good, but I don't mind browsing a repository and downloading individual icons.

As a last resort, I could always download a full Gnome 3 iso and find the icons that way, but hopefully someone knows of a better solution.

Best Answer

You should be able to get the icons from the gnome-icon-theme git repository.

Adapted installation instructions from WebUpd8:

  • Install git (if you don't have it already).
  • Then run git clone git://git.gnome.org/gnome-icon-theme
  • You have to compile the icon theme using the standard ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr, ./configure, make, make install or sudo make install.
