The Numix Project:

Brought to you by: System76

• System76 at SCALE12x

• Numix – Not just yet another theme suite

Numix is all about making a difference in theming. We aim to prove that “difference” and “usability” are two words combined, that can make sense. You get a modern and stylish desktop, spiced up with a pinch of warmth just enough to make you feel like laying in your favourite comfy armchair, with a beverage of your choice in hand.
