Sponsored

As you may already know, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS released last week. As Ubuntu ditches Unity and adopted GNOME 3 as the default graphical interface, all GNOME themes can be installed in Ubuntu 18.04 now. First of all, you need an additional software to install Ubuntu 18.04 themes. This is known as GNOME Tweak Tool. You can install this by just entering the following in the terminal (Press Ctrl+Alt+T to open terminal or launch it from applications menu):

sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool

After successfully installing GNOME Tweak Tool, you can select which icon theme to be loaded from the tweak tool. So here is my list of some best themes available for Ubuntu 18.04.
