BeOS-R5-Icons is a curated collection of pixel-perfect and scalable icons that recreate the look and feel of BeOS and related period desktop environments for modern Linux desktops. Curated by Metsatron, the set combines original creations and adaptations alongside derived artwork from BeOS-r5, Zeta OS, Haiku OS, KDEclassic, OldGNOME2, Copland and classic95, delivering a cohesive, retro visual theme intended for XFCE, GNOME and other desktop environments. The package emphasizes historical accuracy and period-correct styling while providing substitutes and extensions to cover contemporary application needs.
The collection is organized by standard icon sizes (8x8 emblems, 16x16, 22x22, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, 128x128 and 256x256/apps) plus scalable SVGs, logos, emblems and theme metadata files (index.theme, index.desktop, .icon-theme.cache) and a screenshot for preview. With 17 commits, 94 stars and one fork, the project is ready to install as an icon theme and integrates into typical Linux theming workflows. The repository includes a README, theme index and packaged folders so users can drop the theme into their icons directory to apply a consistent BeOS-era aesthetic across modern desktops.
