Description: a blue-purple (oomox) gradient full-icon theme for all of us that love cyberpunk, neon, outrun, synthwave and retrofuture aesthetics.
*IMPORTANT: when you are updating! Many unnecessary files are deleted from the theme. If you extract the newer version over an older one, then the older files will remain on your system and that may produce unexpected results. If you already have the theme installed, then the best practice would be to delete the old version and then extract the newer one.
This theme has outline folders but it can be combined with a variety of filled folders that you can find here.
The Ultimate-Punk-Suru++ icon theme was awesome. But it hasn't received updates for years and it also uses the same generic icons for a multitude of applications.
I am creating an icon pack based on the Ultimate-Punk-Suru++, removing the generic icons and adding new ones specific for each application, mimetype, action etc. I am colouring all icons using our beloved blue-purple gradient, so that the icon pack has a uniform look.Last changelog:
v124
*new app and action icons *many fixes (status and panel icons) *updated old style icons *removed superfluous file *corrected symlinks *corrected gradients
I've been using this on my steamdeck and I can't believe how clean looking and complete this pack is. My only problem is that flatpack apps and some system tray icons don't apply propperly for some reason but other than that it's amazing.
Thank you for your comment. I don't own a Steam Deck but reading about its specifications, I think I understand what's happening.
Steam Deck uses SteamOS which is based on Arch Linux with KDE Plasma 5. The system tray icons in KDE are part of the desktop theme (/usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/your_theme/icons or /home//.local/share/plasma/desktoptheme/your_theme/icons). In other words, the system tray uses the icons provided by the desktop theme (e.g. Breeze). If it doesn't find an icon then it uses the icons from your icon theme (e.g. cyberpunk-technotronic). That's why you may see in your system tray some icons from cyberpunk-technotronic mixed with icons from your desktop theme.
The last time I checked the sources of Plasma, I came to the conclusion that a separate icon theme specifically for the system tray should be created, if a uniform look is desired. But I didn't think it was worth the extra effort. KDE provides the option to change the colours of the icons in system tray. Users can achieve it by changing the colour scheme (system settings--->appearance--->colours).
Since you like the oomox gradient, let me suggest the cyberpunk pandora colour scheme (it wasn't created by me) https://store.kde.org/p/1352567. I have attached a screenshot of what you can expect combining the cyberpunk pandora colour scheme and the cyberpunk-technotronic icons. https://imgur.com/eJjOMMr
If you don't want to change the whole colour scheme, then you could use whatever colour scheme you like and just change the colour of "Window Text" (though "Window Text" may seem irrelevant, it does change the colour of the system tray icons). (System settings--->appearance--->colours--->your colour scheme--->edit colour scheme (the pencil button)--->Window Text).
About the second issue. Flatpak packages run in a container and do not have access to the host file system, so you have to give them permission manually. I found a very good article https://www.linuxfordevices.com/tutorials/linux/themeing-flatpak-application that addresses the issue. Just make sure where your cyberpunk-technotronic icon theme is installed. The article makes the assumption that icon themes are installed under $HOME/.icons but this is not always the case. Discover, the software centre in KDE Plasma, installs the icons in $HOME/.local/share/icons/
Thanks again for reporting these issues and I hope my reply was helpful. For any further questions, feel free to ask.
