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! :-)

Hi, thanks for the reply and for reporting the missing icons. I've added all of them in version 1.1. If you're missing anything else, just comment. Suggestions for further development are always welcome. Enjoy!

One more icon missing and it is really important is one great open source cross platform messaging (text, video, audio) client with full end to end encryption - Wire.

Hey, Wire is a good idea, thanks! I'm currently working on a major release, bringing lots of new app icons (including a replacement for the ugly microscope). It will be ready for release in 1 or 2 weeks. ...so now it's a very goot time for app suggestions ;-)

Awesome! Since we do a music production and there are no icon set anywhere for the biggest and most powerful open source software for music production so next apps: Ardour, LMMS, Rosengarden (it looks it is here but it is too much red, maybe just zoomed picture of rose to fit that shape?), Muse Sequencer, Muse Sore, Mixxx, Rakarrack (guitar effects), Qmidiarp (this is midi sequencer), QjackCtl (This is really important every DAW using this so whatever DAW you install you need this), Pure Data, Audacity (not sure if there is one), Hydrogen and the most powerful open source software synthesizer Zynaddsubfx (They have new logo like Z letter with two triangles on their website, they making completely new UI design so that will be new icon.)

Other apps that missing are: app is also installed with gimp or krita I think called Image Magic like blue wizard on white icon, Synfig Studio (for doing 2d animations), Browser Vivaldi is like obsidian but something is not quite good there, explore this icon if you can, Hugin - Panorama photo stitcher, RawTherapee, Photivo, GTK+ Font manager (have the same icon as Font Viewer), Sweet Home 3D and Scribus (if there are no icon for it) For video there are Openshot, Pitivi, Cinelerra and KDEnlive. That's all most used powerful open source tools :) If you can make a full list of every icon we have in Obsidian and to spread more words about it you can post this on Deviantart and Github. Github is excellent place for this :) This will be the only icon set who contain icons for every software in studio for music, graphic, photo and video.

Hey, first of all big thanks for all the suggestions. It took me a little more time than expected, but now version 2.0 is completed and released. All of your suggestions have been included - and much more! Enjoy! :-) And yes, developing to Github will make things much easier. If anything is still missing, just tell me. I have only tested under Manjaro Gnome yet, but I'll check Linux Mint and Ubuntu Gnome soon.

OMG you are incredible! Thank you so much! You should notice ubuntu studio devs that you made all of this icons, because there are no icon set with these apps. Also KX studio!

I transited from gnome to kde neon and after I install this icon set I don't see it in my settings>icons. How to set this icon set??

I totally forgot for mind mapping software Freeplane (Java).
Freemind (Java) is also welcome (Freeplane is fork of Freemind), VYM (View Your Mind-Qt) and Labyrinth (Phyton and GTK+). They are all open source mind mapping software :)

Great icon theme! however some icons like shutdown, lock screen or log out seem to be "black" instead of that nice 3D silvery effect, have you tried a "Darkest" theme variant?

Report

madmaxms

Hi, you're right, there have been wrong status icons. I've inverted the black ones, so it should fit now. Hope I got everyone. Big thanks for the bug report!

Have you tried downloading another theme/iconpack from gnome-look.org?

Hi, thanks for the bug report! I've fixed the major problems now. Some KDE-specific things are still not supported, but I'll try to keep KDE in mind at the following releases.

Hey good work, but there is a Nazi symbol when you install new software, any chance you can change it?

Report

I've tried to take a look at it on Ubuntu Mate 16.04 in a VM. Installed some software via Software Botique but found nothing strange. If I know the icon, I can edit/replace it, suggestions are always welcome.

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!
