Cawnonical Icons 1.3

Cawnonical Icons 1.3 - Lemmy.World

>Cawnonical Mono-Glyph Icon Suite: a complete, system-wide icon theme featuring clean, monotone glyph-style vector icons that can be changed to any colour system wide. [https://www.pling.com/p/2298642/] https://www.pling.com/p/2298642/ [https://www.pling.com/p/2298642/] It has been about two months since I completed my icon pack project “Cawnonical” and shared it here. Since then, I have received some amazing feedback that has made it all worth it, plus using my own icon pack (which is why I even made it) has been so satisfying. I can confirm as a daily user that it is the best icon suite (I might be just a bit biased). Today, my icon pack is now at version 1.3. Each iteration, I’ve been adding about 100 new app icons and fixing things. *In this version, I have added over 300 symlinks for app ID’s to make my icon pack auto-apply better. * Finishing Cawnonical 1.3, I feel my icon pack is now mature enough to share it again with the community here. If you saw my post a while back but found my icon pack was missing stuff, check again. Since I have always been making icons as a hobby, I will probably be making iterative updates on Cawnonical into my grave. Also I do take icon requests on the icon suite’s GitHub page: https://github.com/Celeths/Cawnsole-HTPC/tree/main/Cawnonical Mono-Glyph Icon Suite [https://github.com/Celeths/Cawnsole-HTPC/tree/main/Cawnonical%20Mono-Glyph%20Icon%20Suite]

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.

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.

Cawnonical: a new full system material icon theme that completely adapts to your accent colour

Cawnonical: a new full system material icon theme that completely adapts to your accent colour - Lemmy.World

[Reposted because I got the title wrong] So as the title explains, while this theme may be visually similar to others, it completely changes colours to match your user accent colour (I also have versions for text colour and solid colours because I could). I wanted a theme where I could see my colours everywhere, so I made one. (Other reasons too, but this is the most important). I’ve also made a bunch of playful little changes to help with accessibility like reworking the settings icons. All icons are SVG files, single layer (a few exceptions), and have been simplified to load faster. I hope you all enjoy it. I will be regularly updating it to add more app icons and new actions/ icons as they show up in updates.

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

Cawnonical Mono-Glyph Icon Suite, a new system icon theme

Cawnonical Mono-Glyph Icon Suite, a new system icon theme - Lemmy.World

For the last month I’ve been grinding away making a new icon set. It started as just a folder set, but got out of control when I noticed that wouldn’t be enough. Now after hundreds of hours of work, I’m ready to introduce the first version (which I plan to periodically update every month or so). Theme description: This icon suite is a system-wide set of icons based on the Material Design icons from Google, and inspired by Breeze by KDE. This theme (“accented” version) dynamically changes all your system icons with your user set accent colour. “Text-fill” uses your current theme’s text colour. Unlike similar themes, Cawnonical Mono-Glyph Icon Suite brings universally accessible coloured glyph icons to all facets of the Linux desktop. There are over a thousand newly crafted icons, as well as the entire Google Material icons set, and the entire Google Noto emoji set for extra options. In total this around 10,000 unique glyphs.

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?
