What it does
Kora is a GNU/Linux SVG icon theme with a blue-folder base and a grey-folder variant.
Kora supplies SVG artwork for GNU/Linux desktops with a blue-folder base and a grey-folder variant. Choose between those treatments after comparing application and folder icons together; the grey version depends on the base Kora theme.
For a local installation, clone the repository and place the Kora folder in the user's icon directory. A system icon directory makes it available more widely. The project also lists distribution packages for users who prefer a package-managed setup.
If the theme does not display correctly, its included cache-update script is a specific troubleshooting step. Keep the base installed when using the grey variant instead of treating the two as independent themes. Kora's source is released under GPLv3.
