How To Use Adobe Style Icons for GIMP and Inkscape
These instructions apply for Ubuntu and its derivatives. A quick search will help you get instructions for other distros. For Windows and Mac, you’ll have to convert the SVG to .ico and .icns (GIMP can help with this) respectively and again a quick search will help with the installation.
- Copy the SVGs to any directory you like. I recommend placing them in a directory which you’ll never mess with.
- Go to usr/share/applications.
- Right-click on GIMP Image Editor (or Inkscape) in the directory and select ‘Copy’.
- Open the Terminal and type this:
sudo gedit “Paste the thing that you copied in Step 3”
Hit Enter and type in your password. - The .desktop file of the app will open in Gedit. Just find the line that
begins with “Icon=…” - Keep Gedit open and go to the directory where you pasted the SVGs.
- Right-click on the respective file and select “Copy”.
- Back to Gedit. Remember the line I mentioned in Step 5? Just go that line, delete whatever is written in front of “Icon=” and hit ‘Paste’ there. The address of your SVG should get pasted there.
- Just hit ‘Save’ in gedit and you’re done!
- Enjoy your new icons! 🙂

Disclaimer (by the developer):
- I am not associated with Adobe in any way.
- SVG icons only work for Linux. If you want these for Windows (which uses the .ico format) or Mac (which uses the .icns format) you’ll have to convert the SVG to the required format. There are a lot of articles out there that will help you do this.
- The bundled instructions were tested on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and should work for other versions as well as for derivatives of Ubuntu like Mint/Elementary.
