Description:

Flat with touches of realism.

Icons with vibrant, but not so vivid colors, surrounded by ambient and directional lights. The base shape of the icons keep square, so if you're already tired of this style, you're in the wrong place. Although the icons tend to be more flat, my main art line is realism, so do not expect a lot of outlines out there, but shadows (albeit subtle)!

Compatible with some windows (wine) programs.

Installing

If downloading via direct link, put the content of the zip file into ~/.icons or ~/.local/share/icons, otherwise follow the instructions from Github page.

For system-wide (recomended): /usr/share/icons

And choose it via your theming tool.

Notes

1 - All icons with sizes smaller or equal to 24px are monochromatic, with very few exceptions such as emblems and some actions icons, thus preventing the break in consistency. So, if you see small colorful icons, it is because they haven't been adjusted yet or maybe it's hardcoded.

2 - Recommended size for colorful icons: 64px

3 - With the exception of the latest KDE releases (5+), when using dark themes, the small icons will be visible by bright outlines.

Thank you for a very nice icon theme. I love the vivid colors and the bit of realism. I appreciate the effort you've put into this. It was easy to load, just by putting extracting and putting into /use/share/icons. I'm leery of icons sets that have their own install routine. I wonder what they're affecting that I don't want changed. I am so sick of the flat minimalist theme that seem to have taken over. They look like computers looked in 1990. I

Don't know why I didn't try this theme before. Probably the best looking icon theme I've seen in a while. It has the modern flat look, but still retains some realism, instead of going all minimalistic like almost every single theme coming out these days.

I find the mix of slight realism with vivid colours works very well. I like colourful icons because they can be more easily distinguished one from another. This definitely happens in this set. Icons are different yet coherent. That is perfect for me :)

That's really one of the best looking and artistic icon set I've ever tried. I keep my local copy daily updated, because the git repository is very active.

I can't make the theme work. Extracting to ~/.local/share/icons or /usr/share/icons doesn't show the icon theme to select in System Settings. I'm using the latest Plasma 5.12.3, Arch Linux.

Are you trying with the root folder (that which contains the index.theme file)?

A stupid question: there are other icon themes in the /usr/share/icons ? If so, this is very weird, I'll need to reproduce this.

Report

Yes, all of my icons are there, including Luv, la-capitaine, Breeze, etc.

It is really weird

Check if it show up in the gtk theming settings. Are you using the icon theme root folder as a symlink?

Report

Unfortunately it doesn't show in the GTK theming settings KCM. I didnt understand the second question but as the screenshot show, everything I did was download the theme and move to /urs/share/icons (tried ~/.icons and ~/.local/share/icons before too)

Must be something related to KDE, I don't know

I never tried this icon set before, but now I did and it's very original and cool! I also discovered the other "evolvere" themes. Do you plan to also update the plasma theme, colorset, kwin borders?
