This is an Icon Theme Ive been working on for a few years. It started as a way for me to learn SVG editing so some of it may be a little rough. It started on Gnome3 but has spent more time being made under XFCE.
I wanted an icon theme that was colorful and with unique colors for each mime-type so that when quickly scrolling you would be able to find what you were looking for without having to slow or stop and look at many similar looking mime type icons and colors (or filenames and extensions).
I know the text on the icons and the shape of the icons break some HIG rules so please forgive that.
I have most of the important icons down (especially for XFCE), but there are going to be some missing or incomplete icons.
If you find a missing icon or any problems with what is there please feel free to let me know (providing a screenshot, the name of the missing icon, and the distro you're using would be helpful.) I am still working on it.
Any feedback and constructive criticism would be appreciated.
I have also recently set up Patreon and Liberapay pages for those interested in supporting my work:
Updated to the latest Git version. Should add several new icons (including some for PCManFM, Solus) and should be a pretty complete icon theme by now. Full changelog included in the download.
Thanks. As far as app icons, I haven't been able to spend much time on those. A full icon theme is tough to complete and maintain, and there are a lot of functional icons that I need to work on as priority. App icons are unlimited and I'm not able to make a new icon for every app. I try to add a few more every once in a while but what I'd really recommend is finding another icon theme with app icons you like and replacing the apps folder in the Victory icon theme with the apps folder of another icon theme (or editing the index.theme file and changing the inherets= line to another icon theme you have installed that you like. This will fill in missing icons that aren't in the Victory theme yet with another theme. Sorry about that. Papirus, Arc, and Boston icon themes blend in pretty well with the Victory theme. But if you or anyone reading is interested, I will consider any and all submissions for missing app icons on the git site.
Hi, I would really like to use this theme but it does not work well. They only change some icons and are very out of focus. I use Gnome 3.24. Some advice?
I'm sorry. I might need to make a note about Gnome on the next update. Gnome uses different icons and sizes than most desktops. This theme was made primarily for XFCE, LXDE/QT, it should work well with Mint, MATE, and maybe Solus. But Gnome uses larger icons all around which is probably why some are blurry. And I have not been able to add very many app icons so not many of those will change. I will not be able to add a lot of app icons, as there are an endless amount of apps and I can only do so much (and interface/file icons take priority). If you need more app icons but like the other Victory icons I suggest finding another icon theme with app icons you like and replacing the app icon folder in the Victory icon folder with the one you like. As far as interface and file icons, they should all change in Gnome. I've tried to make it Gnome compatible and am working on larger sizes to fix the blurriness and make things look nicer for hidpi desktops. If you find interface and file icons not changing in Gnome please let me know which ones. Thanks.
Slikerhael. All the servers, and not just xfce-look.org, are exhibiting this corrupted archive issue. I can extract some files, but most are corrupt. gnome-look... all of them are having this issue. With this, and the search engine not working, the site is in sorry shape. I hope that it is fixed soon as well.
Hey, thanks for the feedback. Are you still having the decompression error? I'm not sure if it's an error in the archive or in *-look.org. In the next update, which should be in the next few days, I'll add a link to and upload it to DeviantArt and github as well.
very pretty, I've been wanting to see some pastel colored icons and themes for the chicks out there like me. I'm using Kali so what'd be awesome is if all those icons on your dash to doc were a pretty pastel too. You don't have to do anything super complex for the icons. Just make them different cute colored buttons or something. I should really learn how to do this. Great job!

Tried to download the icon theme because it is very nice and I would like to use it. But the archive is always corrupted :(
Sorry, this should be fixed now.

Keep getting decompression error on successful downloads when trying to open the archive. I REALLY want to use this icon theme, help me out please.

Gnome: XFCE: LXDE/LXQT This is kde-look.org How does it deal with?
You will find it also in gnome-look.org and xfce-look.org.
Good icons.
Great Work!
