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 workspace.
Also is inspired by the principles of good design, and apply it in order to be:
- Honest
- Aesthetic
- Understandable
- Unobtrusive
- Minimal
Created for the Linux desktop ecosystem, this icon theme is intended to be used with GNOME and adapt well with Adwaita and 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.
- GNOME as reference desktop
- System folders and file types
- Some symbolic icons and apps without own native symbolic
- Outdated or bad looking icons (low resolution, etc)
- Rest of collection (priority according to the needs)
This project is focused on quality, not quantity.
Boston is aimed at users who love GNOME environment and want an original theme focused on differentiating design. Its neutrality, defined philosophy and lack of visual intrusiveness provides an option for those who wish to enjoy living with Adwaita, or for those who enjoy customizing desktops in a frugal way.
Unlike other themes, Boston only tries to offer the best with a well-defined objective. Only material of desired quality is approved, and each release provides real news and benefits. There will be no empty updates: the goal is to offer a good bunch of new features and enhancements in each package —which will be clean, signed and ready to use—.
