Humanity Icon Theme Update Comes In Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat

And here it is: with the Maverick User Interface freeze coming in 2 days, the first update to the Humanity Icon Theme in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat. Well, in fact there was another update a while back to the ubuntu-mono icons, but the only change was the new controls for the sound indicator.

The new Humanity Icon Theme 0.5.3 doesn't bring many changes - at least from what I've noticed so far. For now I've only spotted a few new icons: the home icon and the up / back / forward icons:

Here is how these icons used to look:

The new icons are more cartoonish I would say. Also, let's hope the Humanity Icon Theme will finally become consistent (and not include both purple and orange icons - I just had to say it again) in Maverick. What do you think?

Until I upload this new Humanity Icon Theme version in our Light Themes PPA, you can manually download THIS deb file or the source from here. The package should be available for Maverick users in a few minutes / hours (through the official repositories of course).

Did you spot any other new icons? Let us know in the comments!

Ubuntu 10.04 Default Icons (Humanity) Folder Color Changes

An update today brings a darker color for the default icons in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx:

The old color didn't match the new branding, but it really doesn't seem like the new one matches the branding either. Hopefully this won't be the last change to the folder icon color.

You can download the new icons from HERE (if you're using Lucid, simply run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" and you'll get the new icons).

Humanity Icon Theme Updated To Match The New Ubuntu Branding

The Humanity Icon Theme got a really nice update in Ubuntu Lucid today which brings integration with the new branding (purple that is) as well as a new Banshee monochrome icon for the panel.

You can preview the updated icons below:

If you're not using Ubuntu Lucid, you'll be glad to know that the updated Humanity Icon Theme is already available in WebUpd8 PPA. Alternatively you can download THIS deb file.
