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.
