How to install materia and paper icon theme (flatpak source)

You could

  • download materia-gtk-theme_20190201.orig.tar.gz from the Debian source tree
  • unzip the package and run bash install.sh -d /home/<USER>/.local/share/themes (do mkdir /home/<USER>/.local/share/themes if the directory doesn’t exist)
  • install the Flatpak stuff for Flatpak applications

This should work similar with the Paper icons (/home/<USER>/.local/share/icons).

This will install the theme/icon files for the current user, which should be okay, because no one should run GUI applications with root. :grin:
