Regardless, this is how you would go about doing it. Based on your comment above I'll assume you're using an Ubuntu-based distro like elementary.\r\n\r\n1. Install [Numix Circle](https://github.com/numixproject/numix-icon-theme-circle) and [Numix Base](https://github.com/numixproject/numix-icon-theme).\r\n\r\n2. Open the Numix Base icon directory and delete all the folders, leaving only `index.theme` & `icon-theme.cache`\r\n\r\n3. Download [Numix Folders](https://github.com/numixproject/numix-folders) and run the script to pick your style of choice. This will then copy your folder icons into the Base directory.\r\n\r\n4. Open the file called `index.theme` from the Numix Base directory in the text editor of your choice, delete everything and replace it with the text shown below (replacing `elementary` with the icon theme you wish to use for everything else)\r\n\r\n5. Open your settings manager, navigate to the appearance section, and pick \"Numix Circle\" as your icon theme in the relevant section.\r\n\r\n6. Log out and log back in again to make sure it applies all across your desktop.\r\n\r\n\r\n##### index.theme replacement\r\nPaste this into the Numix Base `index.theme` file (see step 5)\r\n\r\n```bash\r\n[Icon Theme]\r\nName=Numix\r\n\r\nComment=Icon theme from Numix Project\r\n\r\nInherits=elementary,hicolor\r\n\r\nExample=folder\r\n\r\nDirectories=16x16/actions,16x16/places,22x22/actions,22x22/places,24x24/actions,24x24/places,32x32/actions,32x32/places,48x48/actions,48x48/places,64x64/actions,64x64/places,96x96/actions,96x96/places,128x128/actions,128x128/places,256x256/actions,256x256/places,scalable/places\r\n\r\n[16x16/actions]\r\nSize=16\r\nContext=Actions\r\nType=Fixed\r\n\r\n[16x16/places]\r\nSize=16\r\nContext=Places\r\nType=Fixed\r\n\r\n[22x22/actions]\r\nSize=22\r\nContext=Actions\r\nType=Fixed\r\n\r\n[22x22/places]\r\nSize=22\r\nContext=Places\r\nType=Fixed\r\n\r\n[24x24/actions]\r\nSize=24\r\nContext=Actions\r\nType=Fixed\r\n\r\n[24x24/places]\r\nSize=24\r\nContext=Places\r\nType=Fixed\r\n\r\n[32x32/actions]\r\nSize=32\r\nContext=Actions\r\nType=Fixed\r\n\r\n[32x32/places]\r\nSize=32\r\nContext=Places\r\nType=Fixed\r\n\r\n[48x48/actions]\r\nSize=48\r\nContext=Actions\r\nType=Fixed\r\n\r\n[48x48/places]\r\nSize=48\r\nContext=Places\r\nType=Fixed\r\n\r\n[64x64/actions]\r\nSize=64\r\nContext=Actions\r\nType=Fixed\r\n\r\n[64x64/places]\r\nSize=64\r\nContext=Places\r\nType=Fixed\r\n\r\n[96x96/actions]\r\nSize=96\r\nContext=Places\r\nType=Fixed\r\n\r\n[96x96/places]\r\nSize=96\r\nContext=Places\r\nType=Fixed\r\n\r\n[128x128/actions]\r\nSize=128\r\nContext=Actions\r\nType=Fixed\r\n\r\n[128x128/places]\r\nSize=128\r\nContext=Places\r\nType=Fixed\r\n\r\n[256x256/actions]\r\nSize=256\r\nMinSize=56\r\nMaxSize=512\r\nContext=Actions\r\nType=Scalable\r\n\r\n[256x256/places]\r\nSize=256\r\nMinSize=56\r\nMaxSize=512\r\nContext=Places\r\nType=Scalable\r\n\r\n[scalable/places]\r\nSize=16\r\nMinSize=16\r\nMaxSize=256\r\nContext=Places\r\nType=Scalable\r\n```\r\n\r\nHope this solves your problem!"}}
