Let’s be honest, the rankings of gnome-look are weird at best and there is no good resource to gauge what icons / cursors / themes people like to use in their everyday DE.
So please share what icon-pack / cursor theme / GTK|QT theme you use, and why.
KDE Plasma 5
- Global theme: Win7OS
- App style: Oxygen
- GTK theme: Windows10
- Colours: Win7OS
- Window Decorations: Expose Air
- Fixed font: MesloLGS Nerd Font 10pt
- Icons: Windows 7 Ultimate 7600
Good standard layout. None of that panel on the left nonsense.
Dracula.
I would like to try out Dracula pro, but it is behind a pay wall ://… There should be a demo.
yeah, its at least only a one-time payment (considering how much i have used the colorscheme i dont mind), plan to pick it up during cybermonday one day. I would assume there is no way to enforce the demo (likely no DRM which is also good)
Yes, and I am not against paying for the work of others, of course. Though I do find the theme a bit too expensive and am out of funds right now. Perhaps in the future. Though I have tried many themes in the past and ended up not liking theme. Paying for a theme and then not liking/using it is a bit… Hard to swallow…
But yes, it is a one time payment. Can you imagine if even themes start being subscription based? 5usd/month to use a fucking theme… We are not that far off hahah
yeah, that i understand. am there too hence why I havent bought it yet, it’s hard to justify a color palette when there are more pressing uses for your money. If and when I do buy the pro theme it would be more to support the creator than for the pro color scheme [a thank you for the long years of use], that way cant be upset if i dont like it :D
RIGHT! that would be insane, with [traditional] subscriptions I could stomach it if creators were getting paid instead of some corporate jackoff buying another yatch.
. I frequently swap between XFCE and Gnome, and it works very nicely on both. I like the big square window buttons, like how windows does it, because it makes it easier to click rather then a small circle like most themes. Also I just like the look better.
The default
breeze-darkis good enough for me withpapirusdark icons andbreeze-neutralcursors.Edit: oh also I change the accent color to
#cc8899and the window decorations to just the x to close. I use gestures to interact with windows.I use the default breeze light on plasma. Most themes are broken or just too much. Breeze is great
On my desktop I use Gnome with Arc-Dark everywhere. On my laptop, I use LabWC with a custom one-dark theme that I wrote. Oh, and Phinger cursors on both
Removed by mod
I used to be really into theming. But now, the default Breeze and Adwaita look good enough that I haven’t bothered wanting to change them in a couple years.
That and thmes always appeared to be some degree of “broken” that I just don’t bother anymore.
I do always change the cursor to the black Adwaita one, even on KDE. It just feels right to me.
When I did still use themes, Numix, Arc Dark, and whatever “flat” themes that I could find were my favorites.
Bonny-global
Numix icon theme Catppuccin for GTK Apple Cursor
I’m kind of rocking my own colourscheme, based around 4 colours: #467b96 as primary, #889fa7 as secondary, #dfdfdf for white, and a mix of #696969 #282c34 and #343434 for shades of gray and black, with #282c34 being the primary background colour I stick with. I also use some shades of my primary and secondary colours from time to time. It looks really good with the Arc-Darkest GTK theme and Sardi-Flat-Arc as an icon theme. Alternatively, I’ve looked into papirus with blue as a folder colour, but I prefer Sardi-Flat-Arc.
Edit: Most other colours come from either the doom-one colourscheme or from the terminal colourscheme for Alacritty from ArcoLinux.
I used the Sweet-KDE color scheme for years on KDE Plasma, but recently I’ve been converting everything to Catppuccin Macchiato. Default icons and cursors.
Nordic dark curser, and compact dark breeze on sway wm
I really like the Mint Y icons, they’re kinda round with soft colours.
Adapta-gtk with Papirus icons, because i like clear lines and less optical clutter.
I would like Materia too, but that goes actively against my choice to have some transparency in Whiskermenu.
