  1. My friend, why on earth are you suggesting to install a theme whose last update from the developer is 4 years ago and so a lot of gnome versions ago?

    • use this: –
      1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:snwh/ppa
      2. sudo apt-get update
      3. sudo apt-get install paper-icon-theme
      It worked for me.
