Cawnonical: a new full system material icon theme that completely adapts to your accent colour
  • Nothing šŸŖ„

    It just works. I put a ton of work making sure it just works. I even exported my theme in different coloured variants so people don’t have to try and mess with icons to get them how they want.

    At least in KDE for the accents. The rest follows the open desktop standard so it should be pretty universal.

    I also made sure to include ā€œsymbolicā€ versions to improve functionality on Ubuntu, though I’ve yet to try it on Ubuntu….

  • A bunch! First I used Affinity Designer to work on the more complex icons, then I have another SVG editor called Boxy I use for smaller edits because it doesn’t mess with metadata. Then I used many terminal commands to mass edit the files, such as applying a colour fill or the accent fill. I’ve got another app that optimized the SVG files into similar structures to also help with the terminal commands. Also I found this cool app on my Mac that lets me export an entire font as individual SVG files, so it let me add the whole Google Noto emoji library as proper glyphs that work with my theme. I also ran some command on the emojis to rename them to their proper emoji names from their Unicode ID. I also used a spreadsheet to sort out my commands and colours.

    So plenty of apps! šŸ˜…

  • Well that’s embarrassing. My brain is a bit melted after a month straight of making and organizing icons.

    This icon suite is a system-wide set of icons based on the Material Design icons from Google, and inspired by Breeze by KDE. This theme (

    [Reposted because I got the title wrong]

    So as the title explains, while this theme may be visually similar to others, it completely changes colours to match your user accent colour (I also have versions for text colour and solid colours because I could).

    I wanted a theme where I could see my colours everywhere, so I made one. (Other reasons too, but this is the most important).

    I’ve also made a bunch of playful little changes to help with accessibility like reworking the settings icons.

    All icons are SVG files, single layer (a few exceptions), and have been simplified to load faster.

    I hope you all enjoy it.

    I will be regularly updating it to add more app icons and new actions/ icons as they show up in updates.

    Cawnonical Mono-Glyph Icon Suite, a new system icon theme
  • Thank you! I put a ton of work into it, and will be updating it regularly.

  • Finishing my icon theme, taking tips/ suggestions
  • Great you understood. I want it to be as universal as possible and part of that is no English text explaining stuff. Anyway, I’ve thought of that too. It would be a bit of work to make sure it looks good, but definitely an option in the future.

  • Finishing my icon theme, taking tips/ suggestions
  • I plan to add an extra size for larger scaling that will have thinner lines.

  • Finishing my icon theme, taking tips/ suggestions
  • This is very intriguing. I’ve been testing it and it seems good, but maybe I’m not looking for the right thing. Care to explain what you mean?

  • Finishing my icon theme, taking tips/ suggestions
  • They are all vectors so the scaling is good. I don’t have larger variants for folders and mimetypes but that’s planned in the future.

  • Finishing my icon theme, taking tips/ suggestions
  • With the icons I’m releasing an ā€œunfilled setā€. And I have tediously made sure all my icons are single layer proper svg files without any styles or unnecessary metadata and no strokes. That way it’s super easy to run batch commands on the whole set. Say you wanna replace a colour, do a find and replace and command, it’s that’s simple. So for chaos you could just make a script to keep changing the fill as it goes through every icon.

  • Finishing my icon theme, taking tips/ suggestions
  • The bottom row is meant to show that the theme changes to the used accent colour. Should I make that more clear?

    So I recently redid a full system icon pack based on/ using the open source material design icons from google. I wanted to have an icon pack that could completely adapt my whole system to any colour I wanted, and ended up having to make my own.

    I shared this recently here.

    I’m releasing it very soon, and would love some ideas or tips I should consider in the last moments before I submit the finished first release?

    So far I know I need many more app icons, but other than that would love some ideas/ tips. Thanks.

    (I’d love a list of app names I need to name the app icons to so they automatically apply.)

    Making a breeze scale system icon theme, want to reach as many people as I can
  • They are all svg files, all with proper plasma theming. Well some, I will have a standard and coloured versions.

  • Making a breeze scale system icon theme, want to reach as many people as I can

    So for the better part of the month I’ve been nose glued to my laptab working a custom icon set. It started as just some custom folders… but ended up becoming me redoing the entire breeze theme. I’m talking thousands of icons.

    I based the theme on the google material design as I haven’t seen a proper full system theming for that, and for accessibility reasons alone I think it needs to exist… but I mainly wanted to do it like that so I can have EVERYTHING change with the system accent colour.

    So after likely over a hundred (hundreds of?) hours, I’m reaching the finish line.

    Anyway for selfish and selfless reasons I want to be able to have my theme reach as many people as possible. Some people in my life have suggested I contact some Linux news sites, but that feels a bit much, I don’t know. Any ideas?

    Oh yah it’s free of course.

  • I think the original creator has been lost to the bowels of the internet. But if the original creator ever does show up just keep it in mind I can’t grant you permission to use it. Then again it’s so simple it might not be up to copyright, I don’t know.

    Just want you to know if you are going to use it for a game šŸ‘

  • Made a minimal splash screen for the community
  • It’s a very old gif that’s been floating around the internet for a while. I then tweaked it to make it a better splash screen. It’s a super simple splash screen so feel free to look into the code and mess around. Should be a breeze.

    Trying Linux gaming & never looking back. Proton is amazing.

    I took the dive into Linux gaming at the start of the year and never switched back to windows. It’s so much better for everything and Steams work on big picture has let me turn my PC into the Linux console of my dreams since the steam machine vaporware days.

    Additionally the ease of use of using Linux vs windows for gaming has gotten me to start using my pc for local coop a lot more. I’ve had so much more success using multiple controllers with Linux than windows.

    My biggest worry, like anyone’s, was that I would feel limited by the games I can play. I’ve honestly started to try even more games since I’ve had better experiences with switch emulators on Linux (Yuzu my baby). Sometimes a newer game won’t let me use the latest version of DLSS my GPU supports but that doesn’t make a game unplayable, I just don’t get max graphics/ performance.

    The only game I can’t play is rocket league. But I can only blame Epic for actively breaking the game on Linux.

    Near-Future file type concept "Digital Memory"

    This is an idea I’ve been toying with for a bit. There is a ton of media that includes unimportant information that doesn’t need to be stored pixel perfect. Storing large portions of the image data as text will save substantial amounts of storage, and as the reality of on-device image generation becoming commonplace sets in digital memories will become the main way people capture the world around them. I think this will inevitably be the next form of media capture (photography and video), not replacing other methods/ formats, but I could see things like phone cameras having saving images as digital memories set to default to save on storage.

    What are the current metas?

    I’ve personally found great effectiveness using cloud of daggers maybe more than any other spell. Funnelling enemies through a passageway with multiple cloud of daggers cast on the spot is probably my current meta. Then I utilize thunder wave/ black hole to keep the enemies on the other side of the daggers once they make it through.

    Another thing if found amazing success with is getting a party to strength 20 as fast as I can, which then I find 90% of enemies can be thrown off cliffs for instant kills. Throwing enemies off cliffs also only requires stealth checks where the body hits the ground and dies.

    Lastly there is a fun little cheese strategy I’ve picked up that I don’t see anyone talking about. If you cancel an improvised weapon attack with an NPC before you deal damage, you can move NPC’s without angering anyone.

    Walmart put family planning merchandise behind locked glass

    Just noticed while shopping today that Walmart locked up the family planning products. This includes pregnancy tests which I think should not have another barrier to getting them. The same with birth control like condoms. I really doubt a lot of young couples are going to want to get staff to help them access such personal things like condoms and lube.

    Do I need to update my nvidia driver in the pop shop?

    I'm running nvidia driver version 530 and in the pop shop there is an "update" for nvidia driver version 525. I'd rather not downgrade, but I am not sure if the pop shop will show me newer drivers until I install 525. Anyone know?

    Connecting home assistant to an offline network

    I have a router set up just for my wifi cameras. The router is not plugged into the internet, but it is directly connected to one of two Ethernet ports on my Ɨ86 home assistant server. The other Ethernet port for Home Assistant is connected to the internet. Is there any chance a device connected that router could somehow access the internet from homeassistant?
