I have this problem that there is basically no good, modern-looking icon theme for Linux, and even the ones that do exist have this problem that, any unchanged icons look out of place (e.g. because all the icons follow some very specific design). I'm making my own icon pack to try to solve that (mostly for myself).

The goals are that it should look good and modern; unthemed icons shouldn't stand out; icons should have a freeform shape, not necessarily be bound to a circle or a square or something (similar to like macOS icons before Big Sur) (mainly because it helps icons fit in, but also is more versatile); and if an icon already looks good, especially if it's a recognizable app logo, I'd keep it mostly intact (and just make the necessary changes for consistency, like resizing it or replacing/removing the background shape). I made some of these myself; many were taken from other icon packs and modified (credits to WhiteSur, Kora, McMuse, MacTahoe, MoreWaita, and Deepin for some of the icons seen in the image); and some are official icons.

What do you think? Can anyone suggest a name for it?

Hello Community! We are proud to share that GNOME 50 is released! GNOME 50 represents 6 months of engineering by the GNOME community. We hope that you will enjoy this release. Feedback as usual is welcome.

Release notes are located here - https://release.gnome.org/50/

We thank everyone who worked on this release and made it possible!

Eager to try GNOME 50, today? Check out https://os.gnome.org/ and try it in a VM using GNOME Boxes (flatpak version)

Edited to add: We would also like to thank our recurring donors, Friends of GNOME. Please consider becoming one at https://donate.gnome.org/!

This update brings you many changes, including a main application view outside of the search widget, a tab to manage installed flatpaks, flatpak addons support, and tons of addressed edge cases/general polishes to the experience. The UI is not finished and is subject to change a lot over the coming weeks.

More exciting, however, is that Bazzite has chosen Bazaar as its new main flatpak store in a future release! You can find it currently deployed in Bazzite's testing branch as well as Bluefin's daily stable release, where it is also being evaluated.

Furthermore, Gardiner Bryant recently released a video covering the status of Bazaar a bit ago, which I am super stoked about! Keep in mind the version he shows is a bit old, however.

Thank you to this wonderful community for supporting me from the beginning! Here are some links if you are new:

Thank you for reading!

Apologies if I do not use the correct terminology but I'm a mere Windows user running Fedora Workstation (Gnome) in a VM looking at migrating over. :)
I am generally impressed with this distro & it keeps drawing me back but one thing that wasn't obvious to me for the first couple of days (& I think it should be) was that "Files" has tabs. I found it by pure accident.
I just wondered what your thoughts was by adding something to it to aid new users like me?

Hello! I just wanted to share a personal project I've been working on called Mignon. I'm a big fan of Nord and dimmed pastel themes but couldn't find an icon set that matched, so I made my own. It's my daily driver and I though maybe someone could find it useful too.

The theme is based on Vinceliuice's Tela-circle theme. You can find the source and installation instructions on my GitHub: Migon Icon Theme Repo

Very early stages at the moment, but development has been progressing quite rapidly. Hoping to have something working by the end of the month (selecting movies, viewing them, playing them).

Hey r/gnome! 👋

I really love the aesthetic of Apple's new "Liquid Glass" UI, but since I don't own any Apple products (I'm strictly a Linux/Android user), I decided to build it myself for GNOME Shell.

Instead of just adding a simple CSS blur, I wrote a custom Clutter.ShaderEffect in GLSL. It simulates actual light refraction using Snell's Law, volume profiling, and even uses a custom spring physics engine for the menu animations.

Currently works on:

• Top Panel Menus

• Dash to Dock

• Notifications

It's still very much a Work-In-Progress (capturing Wayland backgrounds with Clutter.Clone was a nightmare lol), and I'm planning to tackle Quick Settings next.

Since I'm still learning, there are definitely going to be some bugs. I'd be super grateful if you guys could test it out, drop some feedback, or report any issues on GitHub! I'm completely open to suggestions.

Let me know what you think!

EDIT: Fixed an import error and confirmed it works on GNOME 50

Made this concept about 2 months ago and only now had the idea to post it over here. Everything was made in Figma and basically represents what I think Spotify made into a native GTK / Libadwaita app would look like. Also, I used Google Material Symbols icons because I was too lazy to download the Symbolic icons.

Hi! A few days ago, I made a post about a Linux icon theme I was making. This is an update to that, as I released it today. You can get it on GitHub: https://github.com/MoshiurRahmanAdib/Conflux-Icon-Theme

About the theme

I had a problem: I couldn't find a good, modern-looking icon theme for my desktop. All the ones I came across have an outdated style (or just poor design), and/or are too stylistic, making unthemed icons look out of place, and potentially changing the app's identity. So I tried to solve that with Conflux. These are the goals that I have with this:

• Modern, clean, beautiful icons: The most important, of course.

• Compatible with unthemed icons: Icons that aren't included in Conflux should still fit in reasonably well.

• Freeform shapes: Icons are not necessarily bound to circle, square, squircle, or other fixed shapes. This allows more flexibility. Because Linux apps don't have some standard app icon design to follow, many of them have their own shapes; they should still fit in without looking out of place.

• Preserve good icons: Icons that are already well-designed and fit the style, or are recognizable logos (e.g. Firefox), aren't modified unless necessary or a significant improvement is possible. Many icons are simply resized, repositioned, or have their background shape changed/removed.

• Universal visual language: Conflux doesn't follow some distinctive art style, but rather has a neutral, versatile visual language. This additionally keeps it compatible with unthemed icons.

• Invisible: Conflux should blend seamlessly into your system, so that you don't even notice you're using an icon theme.

A lot of icons are based on icons from other icon themes; credits to, among others, WhiteSur, McMuse, Kora, MoreWaita, MacTahoe, and Papirus! There are original icons as well, and some are the original app icons with adjustments.

As I initially made this primarily for my use, I mostly added icons that I needed, with symlinks that work on my system. I'd be happy if anyone wants to contribute, to add the icons you need. You could make new icons, add missing symlinks, resize default icons for those that need it, polish the existing icons, fix issues, add requested icons, or make it meet one of the goals better.

Check out the repository for more information. I hope you'll like it. And thanks to everyone for the positive reactions on my last post!
