Nothing 🪄

It just works. I put a ton of work making sure it just works. I even exported my theme in different coloured variants so people don’t have to try and mess with icons to get them how they want.

At least in KDE for the accents. The rest follows the open desktop standard so it should be pretty universal.

I also made sure to include “symbolic” versions to improve functionality on Ubuntu, though I’ve yet to try it on Ubuntu….

A bunch! First I used Affinity Designer to work on the more complex icons, then I have another SVG editor called Boxy I use for smaller edits because it doesn’t mess with metadata. Then I used many terminal commands to mass edit the files, such as applying a colour fill or the accent fill. I’ve got another app that optimized the SVG files into similar structures to also help with the terminal commands. Also I found this cool app on my Mac that lets me export an entire font as individual SVG files, so it let me add the whole Google Noto emoji library as proper glyphs that work with my theme. I also ran some command on the emojis to rename them to their proper emoji names from their Unicode ID. I also used a spreadsheet to sort out my commands and colours.

So plenty of apps! 😅

Well that’s embarrassing. My brain is a bit melted after a month straight of making and organizing icons.

Thank you! I put a ton of work into it, and will be updating it regularly.

Great you understood. I want it to be as universal as possible and part of that is no English text explaining stuff. Anyway, I’ve thought of that too. It would be a bit of work to make sure it looks good, but definitely an option in the future.

I plan to add an extra size for larger scaling that will have thinner lines.

This is very intriguing. I’ve been testing it and it seems good, but maybe I’m not looking for the right thing. Care to explain what you mean?

They are all vectors so the scaling is good. I don’t have larger variants for folders and mimetypes but that’s planned in the future.

With the icons I’m releasing an “unfilled set”. And I have tediously made sure all my icons are single layer proper svg files without any styles or unnecessary metadata and no strokes. That way it’s super easy to run batch commands on the whole set. Say you wanna replace a colour, do a find and replace and command, it’s that’s simple. So for chaos you could just make a script to keep changing the fill as it goes through every icon.

The bottom row is meant to show that the theme changes to the used accent colour. Should I make that more clear?

They are all svg files, all with proper plasma theming. Well some, I will have a standard and coloured versions.

Can’t steal it if it’s free.
