Obsidian Icon Theme

Description:

ABOUT
======
This is a fork of the popular icon theme Faenza, primary developed for dark themes. It comes with completely redesigned mimetype icons, lots of new and reworked app icons and multiple folder colors.

* Dark gtk-theme "Obsidian 2":
https://www.pling.com/p/1173113/

* Light gtk-theme "MATE-Colors":
https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1304720/

For all of you who want back a total Faenza-experience, check out the Delft icon theme:
https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1199881/

USAGE
=======
The project is hosted on Github. You can download it, fork it, build packages for your distribution... do whatever you like.

UPDATES
=========
I'll try to update this project constantly on Github. Once a month I'll post a release (zip / tar-file) to opendesktop.org bringing the latest changes.

SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME
================================
Is there an icon you miss, a bug you have found, or do you have a better idea for an existing icon, just let me know in a comment. Suggestions for single icons are very welcome for further development! I cannot guarantee implementing every suggestion, but as long as they are fitting to the rest of the icon pack (and I do like them by myself ;-) ) there is no problem.
In case you want to report a bug, please also mention your desktop and distribution.

Enjoy! :-)

No problem, you're not the first one. Maybe I have to better point it out in the comment.
If you like, I can publish a beta release...let's say by the end of the week....

I'd be glad to try it. I expect many people would. I don't know why a faenza fork doesn't exist yet to be honest. It's very much needed.

+1. IMO the mimetype icons are flat, not much Faenza-esque.

Flat is better for mimetype icons.

I disagree, the point would still stand though: not faenza-esque. But now we know that keeping it faenza isn't the point of Obsidian.

Everything is looking great except my system tray icon for Clipman (clipboard manager). I don't see how to post a screenshot here, but I'm getting black rectangle with a red null sign in the middle framed by a white square. Is that correct?

Awesome theme, but there seems to be a problem with the SVG file places/32/network-workgroup.svg. It's crashing Dolphin when opening "Network".

Hi, really great theme! Thanks for sharing it.
I have 2 issues with it under stock Ubuntu 17.10:
- Gnome Commander Theme is missing in last version and gets replaced by files
- I get the following warnings when running Eclipse:
Gtk-WARNING **: Theme directory apps/64 of theme Obsidian-Gray has no size field
Gtk-WARNING **: Theme directory mimetypes/64 of theme Obsidian-Gray has no size field
Gtk-WARNING **: Theme directory places/64 of theme Obsidian-Gray has no size field
Thanks!

Actually, I have another comment: in my system the Atom Icon shows insufficient contrast when added to the Ubuntu dock. It might benefit from a darker green background. This is so far the only icon in which I noticed the contrast issue...
Thanks again!

Thanks for reporting, I've fixed the warnings and also set up a new icon for gnome-commander and reworked Atom.

Hi madmaxs, thank you for all updates I have 3 new requests for icons: "KDE connect" icon on ubuntu is missing, icon for "Backups" - gnome app and "Gravit designer" powerful app you can install it from ubuntu software.
Also gnome music app have same icon as rhythmbox so it's pain to recognize the one you want from dock :(

Awesome!! Thank you again sir! Only Gravit designer won't show updated icon, i tried to uninstall and to install it again, but doesn't help.

Report

madmaxms

Ah ok, thanks for reporting! - I've tested with the version from the Gravit website, but it seems the versions in the various Distro-Repos require a different icon name. I've updated it on Github and tested with the Gravit Designer installation from my Distro's repo (Manjaro/Arch). So if you install the icons staged at Github it should work now. A new release (zip-File) will be launched in the next weeks.

Hi Madmax, I just want to report that I am using now Antergos (Arch Linux) and I installed Gravit from Add/Remove software the only one Gravit that is there, but I don't see new icon on Gravit designer.

Report

madmaxms

Hi malabiba,
I've taken a look at the package in the AUR. Seems that Gravit designer now uses a fixed icon-path, so it cannot be changed by a theme anymore. You'll have to change it manually with menulibre or alacarte. Good luck!

Great icons. I'm on kde and when I put my mouse cursor over an icon, the + and the - to select or deselect it doesn't appear. Could you add them please.

Good icons, i was wondering about some "actions" icons, arrows and similar, most of them have those black squares behind them and it kind of looks out of place mostly, are there any plans on removing those squares and leaving just arrows with transparent backgrounds behind?

The best! Don't get confused, if you want to get all your icons stylished you need to use theis theme. I use it for work and at home, I'm a developer and all the extensions are stylished. It's the best icon theme in the whole site. Try it!
