Obsidian Icon Theme

Available as/for: -

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! :-)

10 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?

I would really love to see you update this to work with Kde as well, like the old KFaenza Icon theme but instead use the old folders, like the ones from Faenza Cupertino. Those looked really great. I miss the old Faenza icon set as I feel that the old look just brought a certain appeal to the Linux desktop environment. Don't get me wrong, This icon theme looks great. The fact that someone's actually trying to keep Faenza relevant means a lot to many people in the Linux community.

Hi, this request comes quite often, but Obsidian has never meant to be a Faenza-continuation. Just the app icons and some minor stuff are taken from Faenza (because there is nothing better out there ;-) ). If you're looking for a Faenza-continuation, maybe Delft Icon Pack could be interesting for you:
https://www.pling.com/p/1199881/
This comes with all the Faenza-styled folders, mimetypes, etc. and has up to date app icons. It is some months behind Obsidian, but I'm working on an update.

Great icons! I just recently updated and noticed that the redshift-gtk icon changed and I really prefer the old one as it doesn't stand out as much. Is it possible to use that one instead on my machine somehow?

Please consider using "delft" start-here-icons :) some distro logos look flat

Report

Ok, sure, but they are actually the same ;-) Obsidian has additional 64px-scaled icons which Delft has not, but this should make no difference.
Do you have an example for me?

Sure! :D (https://snipboard.io/S6m0ei.jpg) this one is obsidian icons (https://snipboard.io/wzmuHy.jpg) this one is for delft, as you can see your delft icons have more "3D" detail on the distro logos :)

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!

What's the difference bwetween Light and Semi-light, please?

Report

SemiLight is for gtk-themes with light views and dark menus, panels and toolbars. Light is for completely light gtk-themes.
