Description:

**Buuf Nestort** icon set

This is a fairly complete set of icons for Gnome, KDE Plasma and XFCE (including actions, apps, categories, devices, emblems, emotes, mimetypes, places and status), based on the icons and artwork by Paul Davey (Mattahan) (http://www.mattahan.com/). Some of them come from OxayotlTheGreat and his great job with his own remix, Buuf https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1012512)

One of the main points of this theme is to remove as many symbolic icons as possible (that means linking the symbolic icon to the original icon). This is not always possible, especially for certain Gnome icons, because Gnome applies some effects to some icons, which make them look really bad if they are not real symbolic icons.

# Installation

There are two options:

To make this theme available for every user (including root, useful when you run apps with root privileges such as packet manager), copy this directory to `/usr/share/icons` (you'll need super-user rights).

If you just need to make it available for your user, you may copy it to `~/.icons` (`~` stands for your home directory, in case you don't know the basics of GNU/Linux shell)

But there is a better option, I think:
- clone the repo (git clone https://git.disroot.org/eudaimon/buuf-nestort.git) in a directory of your choice (such as ~/Themes/icon_sets). It will create a new directory called buuf-nestort with the theme inside.
- create a symbolic link to this new directory either in ~/.icons (just for you user) or /usr/share/icons (for everyone).
- Each time you want to update the theme, just go to its directory (~/Themes/icon_sets/buuf-nestort following the example) and perform an update with the command "git pull"

# Customization

This theme includes many distributor logos. By default, `places/distributor-logo.png` links to `start-here.png`, which also links to `start-here-agnostic.png`, which looks like a drawer with lots of stuff inside. You may change this symbolic link to whichever icon you fancy more, using these commands (supposing you are in the places directory):

rm start-here.png
ln -s icon_you_d_like_as_start_button.png start-here.png

you need to do it before installing the theme (or, if you have already installed it, then operate on the directory where you installed it, bearing in mind that if you installed it in `/usr/share/icons`, you need root privileges).

I'd love to receive constructive feedback, for example to know which icons you miss more. I can't promise any update soon, but I might do it from time to time (not years hopefully!)

You'll notice there are some icons here and there which clearly do not belong to the theme. They are there as a reminder for me to substitute them (either in png or svg formats). There are also some scripts to clean svgs etc, which you do not need to use (and would rather be somewhere else). I know it's ugly for me to distribute a theme like this, I'll correct it at some point.

I have just tried it and, again, it does work. It might be a problem related to Dropbox... maybe there is a limit in downloads per time? Or maybe there can not be concurrent downloads? I don't know...

Your icons are funnie xD.

I was asking to myself, then i thought to share.

Is it possible to add Maya and Mudbox Icons, and make a mame-type icons?

Maya is a Dragon
mimetype: .ma, and .mb
Mudbox is a Horse
mimetype: .mud
Soft Image is a butterfly (I think)
mymetype: .fbx
Match Movver it's an M
mimetype: Who the hell I know xD
Composite is toxic

I really like this icon set. I have only one problem with the folder "dropbox." Not appears "ok" icon correctly and it appears an empty space. I have Ubuntu natty 10.04. A greeting.

Hi
thanks!
I've added the dropbox icon to v1.01, although I'm not sure this is the cause, because Dropbox installs its hicolor icon. Dropbox also installs some emblems in a non standard directory (non standard for normal icon themes, I mean). These are probably handled by dropbox internally, so I won't create any icons for these.
Anyway, I don't use the Dropbox nautilus add on, so I can't check if now it works... hope it does!

Sorry. I just installed the new version but the problem persists. The new icon does not exist and there is a very large space below the row where is dropbox folder. This is the real problem. I do not know how I can send a screenshot of this folder on this web...

I have no idea of why this happens... You could send me an image to my mail nestort at gmail dot com.
Or you can upload it to dropbox and put here the public link ;)

2.01 updated 2020-12-36 3 months ago

Added new icon names for XFCE apps (org.xfce....) and also many more random here and there.

2.0 updated 2020-10-24 5 months ago

About 500 changes. They are random. Since I jump from Gnome to KDE to Cinnamon to XFCE to Mate, I come across many of the missing icons, which I create from time to time. It's far from complete, but again, I'd say most of the icons you'd like to see are there. Notable exception is Mate's control panel icons. It will come, fear not.

version 2.0 7 months ago

This is a massive update from the previous version, from 2011!
It is not yet complete, and it still has some svgs and pngs from other themes as "placeholders" for pending icons, plus some other missing ones. I don't know when I'll have time to finish this (or at least polish it more), so I publish it now since it is *very* usable already.

Icon additions are too many to list. I have tried to include also the new style to name icons (such as org.gnome.Calculator or org.kde.kdenlive). This change has rendered many icon themes obsolete as far as these desktop core applications concern.

Version 1.05
- amarok icon update
- added soffice.bin.png (openoffice.org is a headache for correct icons on docks... anyone knows how to get it working with cairo dock?(EDIT: this appears to be a cairo-dock related problem; other docks display the correct icon))
- gnome power manager icons for mouse, keyboard and cell phone with different battery charge levels
- corrected bmp (beep media player) icon
- emerald theme mime type icon (default .desktop sadly points to /usr/share/pixmaps/emerald-theme-manager-icon.png instead of simply emerald-theme-manager-icon.png, won't work by default :/)
- some JACK only apps: qjackctl, jamin, meterbridge, timemachine, jackeq, jack-rack, jack_mixer
- scores icon
- audio-input-microphone for different levels
- cairo-dock icon
- debian-installer-launcher icon (?)
- gnome-ppp and pppoeconf
- turpial, qwit
- maya and mudbox apps (maybe useless under linux/gnome?) (no mimes, sorry, I don't know what file names they should have)
- other seahorse icons (thanks OxayotlTheGreat and great job with Buuf 3.0 http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Buuf?content=81153)

Version 1.04
- Added specific panel icons definitions
- Included Dropbox and Ubuntu One panels
- Corrected bug in Gnome Power Manager icons (not showing this theme's icons but standard, instead).

Version 1.03:
- corrected Chromium icon.
- Corrected bug in attach points for folder icons (thanks legaspi!)

Version 1.01:
- added Dropbox icon

10 the best Awesome theme... Some icons in Xfce settings (notifications and screensaver) and applications like uget are missing, but that's the most original theme for gtk.
