Looking for another pack of icons and themes to make your Ubuntu or Elementary OS look beautiful? Then first try the free icons and themes provided by the people behind the Numix Project and if you can’t get enough of the free ones, you can buy more from their website.

Try these commands on your terminal (ctrl+alt+t)

For Numix GTK Theme and Numix Circle Icons

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:numix/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install numix-gtk-theme numix-icon-theme-circle

To make these installed themes to be your default, you need to install a tweak tool. Every flavour of every Distro have their own tweak tools. I will list the terminal commands of a few ones that I have tried. If the flavor you are using is not mentioned, you can simply Google them find the terminal commands.
