You're very welcome. Glad to know that this set works for you. It has a long history and I try to keep it up-to-date, adding a few symlinks/icons to it once in a while, when I find some free time.

nouveKDEGray IS for Plasma5 as well as LXQT. Maybe you haven't put its folder in the Plasma5 icon folder, which is ~/.local/share/icons

I'm quite active at GitHub (Kvantum and LXQT) but, IMO, PNG icon sets shouldn't be put there because the concept of "source" is meaningless for them, on the one hand, and they would bloat GitHub for no good reason, on the other hand.

> There are some missing icons

I'd be grateful if you give me their names. However, please be patient: most of my free time is dedicated to Kvantum and LXQT.

> I prefer yellow folders to see the difference between folders and files easily

I understand but nouveKDEGray is supposed to be a monochrome set (with some exceptions). It also has colored folder icons (yellow included), which you could use to distinguish special folders.

I'm glad you like the theme.

For an icon set, the "source" is usually the set itself. I made these icons by using various methods with Inkscape and Krita. Most of them are SVG-based but, most of the time, I didn't just exported PNG from SVG. The SVG files are a such mess that I prefer to focus on creating icons with high quality rather that doing the boring task of organizing their SVG origins.

That said, a simple Makefile and a debian folder could be created to package the whole set into a deb package, and a similar thing could be done for rpm too. That's rather a distro job though.

Oh, sorry. Seems that I am blind, I didn't notice that you just answered the question about github. Anyway, you said that they are svg based - that is cool and that means that svg files are the source. If you put it on github as-is, then you'll be able to focus on creating icons when someone else will provide you with pull requests for organizing svg origins. Doesn't it make sense?

tsujan In reply to 9rief [2016-04-12 02:56:13 +0000 UTC]

No problem!
Yes, they're *mostly* SVG-based but (1) they aren't made just by exporting SVG to PNG, and (2) the SVG icons are a real mess and I have no time (or motivation) to make them tidy.
Also my reply to 9rief's comment may be relevant here.
However, thanks for your comment!

SVG could be optimized with automatic tools like github.com/RazrFalcon/SVGClean… , I would do that if I'd had SVGs. If you just don't want to share them - that's ok - just say

Regarding missing icons - I can prepare the list but it would be pretty huge, starting with retroarch, dosbox, obs, xnview, doublecmd, sublime...

nouveKDEGray isn't supposed to cover the whole Linux It's rather for Qt apps, although it covers many non-Qt apps that are OFTEN used in KDE and LXQT (like Firefox). Its counterpart, nouveGnomeGray, is mainly for GTK+ but, as I've distanced myself from GTK+, I have no plan to add icons to it. Anyway, neither is my priority now. I'll just try to keep them usable within reasonable limits.

Thank you for telling me about "apps/application-x-clementine"! I'll make a symlink for it with the next update. For now, you could do that with this command in all apps folders and then recreate the icon cache:

ln -s clementine.png application-x-clementine.png

The forward/backward button issue doesn't happen here. The versions of Konqueror, Dolphin and KDE are all 4.11.3 here.

Recently I installed OpenSUSE on VirtualBox and saw what you said: OpenSUSE has its customized KDE with its own icon names for categories. I'll add symilnks for (most of) them with the next update.

BTW, if you told me you use OpenSUSE, I would do that sooner.

After searching for the icons you mentioned, I found that they belong to Gnome or other GTK-based environments, not to KDE. In KDE, the names are different and the corresponding icons are all included.

The icons you mentioned don't seem to have standard names. I couldn't find them anywhere except in Ubuntu Trusty. However, I'll surely add them by making symlinks if I know there has been no mistake in Trusty's packaging. Thank you for telling me about them!

Thanks a lot

As far as I know both DEs, I can say that KDE handles darkness more easily than Gnome (only Oxygen has some problems with very dark themes but you could use QtCurve or Bespin). With Gnome and GTK+, you should apply several workarounds but with KDE and Qt, it'll be enough to change a few color settings (in Kate, for example). On the other hand, Gnome breaks themes with every new release -- no exception so far!

tried GNOME out again... this last 3.14 seems ok.. accepts much more customisation, but it's not obvious at first sight how to do it... I love KDE, clearly the best, but that's total distraction for me.... I get lost in it.

I made a theme engine called Kvantum ( kde-look.org/content/show.php/… ) for KDE (for Qt, in fact). It can even try to correct the behavior of those Qt apps, that don't respect dark themes. Of course, it isn't a theme itself but has a default dark theme and I also made another one ( tsujan.deviantart.com/art/Kvda… ) for it.
I can't tolerate Gnome at all, while KDE is really comfortable to me. Anyway, tastes and habits could be very different

I made the icons you mentioned but will upload the new set after a few weeks because other uses may also tell me about missing app icons.

truecrypt and speedcrunch may not use the theme because they store their icons in /usr/pixmaps.

Root terminal is already included. What's its exact icon name in your distro?

I want to make a complete YaST set but I'm not sure YaST will use all of it because it's a root app. As I have no OpenSUSE, I'll need users' feedbacks.

theMuspilli In reply to tsujan [2013-10-01 18:05:38 +0000 UTC]

Thanks again! I am looking forward to the update... :-D

The icon for the root terminal in my OS 12.1 is utilities-terminal_su (yes, first hyphen, then underscore). I have a very bad memories with those things, but this time I am sure, that I have not changed the icon yet which means that this has to be the default.

The gksu-root-terminal icon I have now spotted and use it. Nevertheless all the root stuff is something where I would accept little dots of red in it to signalize a nice little "keep your hands off unless it is really necessary...".

And that not all applications may use their new icon when they are running is something I can accept. More important is that there where I rule, on the desktop, they have the disguise that I have chosen for them.

I think I can promise you to submit a nice screenshot featuring also your icons in some weeks. Today I used the boredom of a train ride to improve my conky.conf. Therefore now my desktops look awful, but when all my good ideas will have settled and I have found all the appropriate tiny changes everything will look better than ever - I hope.

Thanks for the advice however if one has to install p7zip and extract the archive then if it's extracted to the right folder the extra re-packaging step can be avoided. To save someone else from having to google the exact steps...

# manually click on RHS download link and save to ~/Downloads

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full

cd ~/.kde/share/icons

rm -rf nouveKDEGray

7z x ~/Downloads/nouvekdegray*.7z

First thanks for your comment.

You're right; I'll include the installation instruction with the next update, when the set will be pretty complete. For installation, just extract the archive inside '~/.kde/share/icons/'. Then you could select it from System Settings > Application Appearance > Icons.

I put the set here mainly because the upload limit is 300 KiB at kde-look.org. On the other hand, Linux users are quite active here, at dA.

I love your icon set but I really hate DA! I'd be happy to offer you 10Gb of space and up to 3000Gb month bandwidth plus a domainname of your choice just so I don't have to use DA to update your icon set every few months. I'd also like to offer a public rsync service for icon set and svg source.

tsujan In reply to mconstable [2013-10-13 11:27:49 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad you like the set and sorry for the inconvenience!

In fact, my first reason above for uploading the set to dA wasn't quite accurate. It would be easier for me to upload it as tar.gz to my dropbox account and put its public link in kde-look.org. However, here I get really useful feedbacks, which I don't get at kde-look.org. Feedbacks are important to me because they could make the set more complete. It was a surprise to me to see Linux users more active here than at kde-look.org.

mconstable In reply to tsujan [2013-10-13 17:48:20 +0000 UTC]

The idea of a dedicated domainname (something like nouve-icons.org) is that it can have a dedicated blog/forum, or my favorite, a github managed web interface and use the issue tracker at github to track feature requests and pointed to from your dedicated "blog" at the domainname. A forum might be overkill. The main point is that the icon set could be downloaded as a "normal" bzip2 tarball (and zip, and pkzip, whatever) WITHOUT REQUIRING A LOGIN! You are using the right license (GPL) but your icon set will probably never be formally packaged by Debian or Ubuntu because fetching the icon set cannot be automated... because of the manual login step. A bonus option would be to offer an rsync feed for both the icon set and, if possible, the SVG source files to really encourage contributions and automatic update possibilities.

Nothing stops you from using the current pkzip format right here on DA as well.

For me, this is the best icon set available on any platform, bar none, if it could be packaged by any and all distros then I could imagine millions of people using it but atm it's a niche rather awkward to obtain but very nice icon set.

tsujan In reply to mconstable [2013-10-13 19:00:14 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot for the explanation. Here are some facts and my opinion:

(1) There's no need to log in for downloading from dA. WebUpd8 and NoobsLab teams are so kind that they make deb packages from my other themes at dA. So, I don't think dA is an obstacle to packaging;

(2) Sadly the SVG source is a real mess and I prefer to use my free time for making the set better instead of doing the tedious task of organizing and cleaning the SVG icons. On the other hand, most icons are more than exported PNGs;

(3) 7z is an open-source and really good archive with a very high compression ratio. All distros support it (in Debian, p7zip-full is the package). Ark supports it too. For heavy backups I even prefer it to tar.xz because a 7z archive is created and extracted faster and has a smaller size.

I don't know why some people dislike dA. I take that as their personal perefences, which I respect. That said, I don't see any objective reason for not using the comfortable space dA provides.

mconstable In reply to tsujan [2013-10-19 20:42:02 +0000 UTC]

1) Never heard of WebUpd8 or NoobsLab. An uptodate deb would be wonderful, do you have a direct link?

2) Yes but if they were public then other people could put in some effort to help organise them.

3) Every time I do a new install I have to google for what package contains 7z and also how to use it to extract the archive because I don't otherwise use it for anything else.

I don't mean to complain but this is the best icon set available anywhere and every extra click involved in installing them is another unnecessary obstacle preventing wider adoption. A regular Debian (or rpm) package would be the ultimate but atm it feels like a MS/Apple wall garden product.

Woops, I just installed a fresh Kubuntu 13.10 and p7zip-full was already installed. I usually debootstrap ubuntu and then add the kubuntu-desktop package which does not include p7zip by default.
