adwaita-icon-theme

brew install adwaita-icon-theme v50.0 LGPL-3.0-or-later OR CC-BY-SA-3.0

GNOME icon theme providing a comprehensive set of scalable SVG icons for desktop applications.

Why you might care

This is a build/runtime dependency for GNOME applications and libraries that expect the standard Adwaita icon set. Most users won't install it directly; it's pulled in by GTK-based apps and the GNOME desktop environment. If you're building or running GNOME software on macOS via Homebrew, you may need this for consistent icon rendering.
