An icon for terminal and file explorer?

I love the minimalism of your theme, though there are two glaring omissions as a GNU/Linux user for me. There are no icons for the terminal emulator, e.g., gnome terminal and a file explorer, e.g., nautilus. Is there anyway these icons could be included?

Thanks!

glitch with kde/plasma

I downloaded the standard blue boston icon theme and extracted it to "$HOME/.local/share/icons". The theme loads in KDE Plasma (ubuntu 22.04 LTS) but shows a sandy colored folder in many spots, while showing the blue ones in other spots. I just want the blue everywhere. Doesn't matter what icon size is used, its always blue or always sandy for the same folder regardless of icon size in dolphin.
