Papirus is default icon set of MX and if it can get tailored and customized for better look on MX I don't see a problem.

I mixed Numix with Papirus, sorry. Still, we can open issue on their tracker and ask them to customize MX.

I think that is magnificent. Everything here is built on the base of someone's love, energy, and ingenuity.

Re: Update to Papirus icons
Papirus is by far the best icon set. Can we also get Papirus-folders in the repos? Would love to able to change folders color like on other distros. https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTe ... us-folders
Re: Update to Papirus icons
Sure, here they are on the way to the repo: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Weevn ... c8XNT-lpqWnixy wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2019 3:05 pm Papirus is by far the best icon set.

Re: Update to Papirus icons
OK, I've saved the Papirus Adapta folders so I can still use them even when the Papirus update removes the Adapta folder icons. Ready for update now....

Re: Update to Papirus icons
I added some of the instructions and examples to papirus-folders' description, so you can see those with
or Synaptic. There's also "papirus-folders -h", but that's not as easy to copy and paste into a command.
The package is now in the main repo.
Code: Select all
apt show papirus-folders
The package is now in the main repo.
Re: Update to Papirus icons
Yeah, updated papirus from Test Repo. No real change that I can see except for Alternatives Configurator getting a nice icon.BobbieAN wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 5:13 pm https://github.com/numixproject/numix-core/issues/4759

But there is now a whole lot of other folder colours, which can be used in place of the default blue using the papirus-folders script (which is already in main repo).

Re: Update to Papirus icons
I was reading through this thread and got the impression that you didn't really understand what are you discussing in here.
The inconsistent look of MX is NOT the result of missing Papirus icons or a need for MX-Papirus. The problem is MX itself.
How can you expect MX looks 'good' (== consistent) as long as there is somebody proudly presenting something like:
https://mxlinux.org/official-icons/
Speaking about 'Papirus missing icons', take a look here:
https://tgce.pixieset.com/g/
Also, look carefully at the very last slide. You'll see the icons presently used vs. Papirus icons included but NOT used!
OK, I modified a few of the icons, but there is a matching icon even without modifications, just not as suitable.
With other words, everything needed to get MX consistent looks is already included in Papirus. The only thing missing is a will to change it and some understanding of UI/UX and Graphics Design. One person who knows what it's doin' has to sit down and do the job. Just, there's no such person.
Additionally, ther's no will to make it look 'better' (== more consistent).
For the end, to make it clear with 'good' & 'bad' look, I'm not discussing 'like' & 'dislike' -- that's a matter of taste or lack of it -- personal preference.
I'm writing here about 'consistent' (== good) vs. 'inconsistent' (== bad) looks. Consistency is not a matter of taste but style (== 'Design Language').
