Seems kinda inconsistent. I’m seeing thin lines, thicc lines, flat, 3d, colored and monochrome all together
The icons don’t all speak the same language, true. Some are way more elaborate and detailed than others, which just makes them look off.
Maybe the library could be a single book instead of an entire bookshelf, for example?
There’s another icon called “folder-book”
Ah, didn’t see that one at first. Even that icon is still too different from the others though, using thinner lines and no fill. Hm
Jesus, it’s so inconsistent. I suppose that may be beneficial when looking at all of your folders at a bird’s eye view but my knee jerk reaction isn’t the most positive.
filled areas and outlined, simple and chaotic… :-)
That looks… really inconsistent
- Why is the mac icon black while the rest aren’t?
- Why are the games/downloads icons offset while the rest aren’t?
- Why are some icons really minimalistic and some really detailed?
- Why do the colored folders have a line while the rest don’t?
- Why are java/android/deb/blender colored while the rest aren’t?
- And why is the black folder blue lol
IIRC they refined the Breeze icons over a LONG period of time to get them to the current state - I’m sure the same will be true here.
These are definitely an improvement over the current icons but while some of the design rules are evident, i think a bit of refining is in order.
The games and download folders both need a complete redesign as the ignore the design rules that the other folders use, and why are the symbols on each folder white except for the Mac folder?
…
I’ll be sticking with papirus.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
They are… certainly icons. I can’t get any more excited than that I’m afraid
Finally designers are realizing it’s not 2013 anymore and nobody liked the Win8 designed-in-powerpoint style.
Respectfully, I love how powerful KDE is but my god they can’t make things visually consistent to save their lives!
From inconsistent icons, to different KDE apps using wildly different design languages, to padding being inconsistent all throughout the DE and their apps, to fonts and their sizes kinda being all over the place
But at least a custom theme is trivial to install and solves most of it
Interesting. Even though I definitely have some mild form of OCD, I do not have single issue with Breeze defaults look.
Deepin icons (and cursor) are the best. :D
This feels like a step back from what we currently have.
Ooh, it really reminds me of newaita reborn which is one of my favorite icon themes. I’m glad they’re making it a little less minimal
I’ve seen better designs. But I’ve also seen worse designs. This is pretty meh.
And I was gonna try out KDE anyway.
KDE is the epitome of meh.
Isn’t KDE spearheding HDR support for Wayland? And doing a bunch more objectively good/usefull projects like the xwayland video bridge?
Technologically, it’s the best DE out there, no contest. (Maybe with the exception of touchscreen integration)
But some design decisions grind my gears so hard I can’t use it.
I get irrationally angry when I see the bouncing cursor animation, or look at a list of my programs and half the names start with “K”.
It feels too sluggish, overloaded and Windows-y in its default configuration and getting rid of everything that nags me takes too long, when Gnome comes out of the box looking simple and stylish.
I don’t mind this.
There are even light and dark wallpapers with transparent version to build your own!
Looks good to me
I actually quite like the current breeze style with the sharper edges, it sets it apart from other designs.
Now KDE needs to implement a consistent design language for its apps, clean up its settings, and have better defaults. Not asking KDE to copy Gnome, just that it needs a lot more work to be palletable to someone using it for the first time.
TODO since KDE 3…
My opinion, if possible, just use the Papirus icons by default. It does such a great job of being consistent while giving apps their own look.
