Introduction:

AdwaitaX (as in AdwaitaX-panded, or AdwaitaX-tended) is very simple yet quiet usefull set of additional desktop icons for GNOME Shell's default icons.

This project's goal is to enchance user experience and match many third-party (including proprietary) apps icons with Adwaita design made by GNOME Project, while still maitaning them as close to the original look as possibile.
Unfortunately, for now in many cases it doesn't respects GNOME Human Interface Guidelines colour pallete, and instead tries to use colours of original icon (but there is a future plan of adding special HIG version)

This project won't change any native GTK+ program's icons and neither does include them. (yes, I'm looking at you Adwaita++)

Requirements:

Installation:

Manual:

  1. Download main branch of this repository
  2. Unzip downloaded files
  3. Copy or move them to either ~/.local/share/themes (create if doesn't exist) or /usr/share/icons/ (the second option is recommended, but root access is requaried)

(installation script in the future)

Bugs and requesting new icons:

If you want to report an issue or request a new icon just create new issue.

Howewer request will be denied if:

  • it's duplicate of another person request
  • the program that icon is requested is already GTK based, even if it doesn't match GNOME HIG (e.g. GIMP, BleachBit, Transmission)
  • there is not enaugh information about which app is meant to be added (apps like Camera doesn't say too much about it)
  • it's game app or game launcher (only exceptions are native game stores and original Minecraft launcher)

If you know something more about your request - like what name of the file of this icon should be (which you could find mostly in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ if you have that app installed or /var/lib/flatpak/app/app_name/current/active/files/share/icons/hicolor/ if it's installed as flatpak) - would be much appreciated.

Also please keep in mind that this project is maintained by only one person and not every request or fix can be done, or at least not done on time. And don't expect this project to be the highest quality imaginable - I only started this project as my attempt at better understanding vector graphics.
