tried and true stuff I have always rotated around in Budgie: kora/korla, yaru, Humanity and @SethStorm666 's Ice set.
Budgie, imho, was not meant for Candy, etc but the beauty of it is you can suit yourself. The 'show your solus' thread has a plethora of creative icon picures.

    brent Thanks a lot bud
    Edit : Tried Korla and I just loved it.
    Edit 2 : Brent can I see your Desktop home interface

    SethStorm666 Hey seth I like to thank you for huge contribution to the community. A suggestion as a user to you is Make Icons more colourful . Found most of your icons basically two colours.

      I like simplicity 😉
      I'm trying to filling a niche gap - because everyone is making colurful icons which is not my cup of tea. That was the first reason I started on making icons: Things I want to use. I never thinking what's can sell like a hot potato, if I did I'll just make a Mac or Windows theme. Ironically enough a lot of Linux users want to mimic those OS's icons and set up, which baffles me.

        SethStorm666 post link when released. I really like this color. Second favorite to your ice theme. from top to bottom of the icon the white/light part of the gradient is too steep and comes too soon. "Needs more copper" with apologies to Christopher Walken.
