I just tested this. Are you certain you have NumixS5_MateriaY_Common
in ~/.icons
or /usr/share/icons
? I can show you it working;
Also you need the common sets for circle and square icons as well. So three are mandatory, the rest are optional and of preference.
The source files are what I extracted using emgrampa
/ file-roller
and using the archive I uploaded, downloaded from the Github page.
