What it does
Moka is a freedesktop icon theme using simple geometry and bright colors, with source artwork and desktop setup guidance.
Moka uses bright colors and simple geometry across a freedesktop icon theme. It is suited to a desktop where application artwork should have a clear, consistent visual treatment, with both SVG sources and rendered PNG assets available.
A source installation uses Meson and Ninja. Set an installation prefix for the system or local user, then select Moka through GNOME's theme settings. The same build directory supports uninstalling the theme, and a settings reset restores the desktop default.
Some applications store hardcoded icons outside the shared theme directory and will not follow ordinary theme selection. The artwork is described under CC BY-SA 4.0, while included scripts use GPLv3. Retain attribution and the applicable share-alike terms when distributing adapted icon artwork.
