What it does
Suru Icons adapts Ubuntu Touch's visual principles into a freedesktop icon and cursor theme. Its source-build workflow supports local and system installation, followed by separate icon and cursor selection. Image assets and build scripts have different open licences.
Suru's icons and cursors are separate desktop selections, so you can apply either part through GNOME Tweak Tool or gsettings. To build the theme, configure it with Meson and run Ninja's install target. The prefix can point to a system location or to a local directory under your home folder; uninstall instructions include resetting the selected theme.
The artwork develops Ubuntu Touch's Suru design for a freedesktop environment. Image assets carry CC BY-SA 4.0 attribution and share-alike terms, while the build scripts are GPLv3. Keep the applicable notices with modified artwork or redistributed build files.

- Both icon and cursor artwork are included.
