📰 More New Ubuntu 26.04 Yaru Icons A pair of new icons have been added to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, giving the Resolute Raccoon’s new default apps, a Yaru-y look. A new icon is added for Resources, Ubuntu’s new default system monitor tool. In the Ubuntu 26.04 beta this was using the upstream icon, which didn’t look out of place really but wasn’t using one a Yaru icon set template shape. That’s now fixed. Still identifiably a system monitor, but using a circle gauge motif. 🔗 Source: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2026/04/yaru-new-icons-resources-showtime #ubuntu
