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.

    • Icon theme : Papirus

    • Shell and GTK theme : Yaru Dark ( the ubuntu darkmode one )

    For cursors, i use the default Adwaita. Even though i shifted from ubuntu to arch 7 years ago, i always liked the orangish theme of ubuntu.

    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.

    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.

    I’m using EndeavourOS XFCE, but with two things on top:

    • Nightfox Dusk BL GTK theme
    • Tela Purple Dark icon theme

    I think these two work really well together

    Icon theme : Papirus Theme: Catppuccin Macchiato Cursor: Catppuccin Dark

    As you can see I enjoy the catppuccin colorscheme for its variety.

    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.

        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’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.
