Any interest in this type of icons for Zorin?

[Aravisian]

Umm... pretty much all of this is inaccurate. The theme set I made is for Gnome. And XFCE. And KDE. They can be used across distros and across Desktop Environments.
The Icon theme you helped me test that fouled your Gnome System Includes the Gnome icons- but Entirely My Fault - bore an error in the Index.theme that I corrected immediately upon getting your message that your system balked.

The reason that your system appeared hijacked, (not allowing you access) was not because it was hijacked but because it was trying to load size 256px icons as your Action Icons in the toolbar - which crashed it. It had nothing whatsoever to do with "for Gnome" or "for xfce"...
Which clearly is the case since Zorin 16 Lite is not released and I installed Zorin 16 Core- Gnome...
Again, I explained this all to you at the time... It was a testing set... And was immediately fixed. it is the same set I am using right now (improved, built up and added upon, as well.)
And the icon sets I make include the basics needed for XFCE, Gnome and KDE and can be used elsewhere as well. They include icons specific for the main Desktops as well as Cinnamon, Budgie, LXDE and the appropriate symlinks, as well.

Well, sometimes its easy to forget things, and I seem to be forgetting things the older I get. However, regarding that one specific matter, I was never going to mention that, out of respect for you. But it is what it is.

Still though, it would be great to get more themers for gnome. Of course, as we've discussed, that will work until Cononical breaks themes again, and they have to be redone. But I am guessing there are some who have the patience for it, I know I wouldn't lol.

Even the Azenis theme isn't perfect on POP OS. It likes to cover up the on/off toggle buttons in settings apps and even in the Gnome tweak tool itself. I have to switch them back to POP to see them, then back to Azenis when I am done lol.

But you can tell I really like Aravisian's Azenis though, its the reason I stick with it. Let me show you perfect examples.

POP OS DEFAULT POP DARK THEME...

POP OS AZENIS THEME...

[Aravisian]

Because- as we have already discussed

YOU ARE USING A THEME WRITTEN FOR GTK3.18 on a system with 3.24.

@StarTreker

However, regarding that one specific matter, I was never going to mention that, out of respect for you. But it is what it is.

I quote you mentioning me out of a Lack of Respect:

@StarTreker

As far as the theme package, I am currently using Aravisian's Azenis theme, but it doesn't include the icons for gnome.

What it is is that you just claimed on Open Internet that my Icon themes
-Break peoples systems
-hijack peoples systems
-Are made only for specific desktops.

None of the above is true in any way whatsoever.
What it it is that you are using the Wrong Build on your system, then telling people my build doesn't work. That is on you.
Let me show you the Proper Build of Azenis ON GNOME DESKTOP. It looks nothing like yours because as we have repeatedly discussed- You are using a Preliminary build that was for 3.18.

As you can see - it looks absolutely nothing like what you posted.
It is true that I trusted you in asking you to help me to TEST some preliminary builds in order to suss out some details and find things I may not see on my own system.
That trust was clearly utterly misplaced as you repeatedly continue to promote false claims and poor screenshots from an early and incomplete build or a totally incompatible build that in no way you can claim "you forgot".
The Azenis2021 theme works perfectly on POP_OS! as tested by myself and others. YOU just repeatedly REFUSE to install the actual Theme and keep using a Half-theme that was only for a different build and used only for testing. ONLY for TESTING. That is 100% on YOU.

Please Remove all aspects of any theme I have ever created from your system and cease using them to trash talk my work from this day forward.

[StarTreker]

Dude, I am simply using the theme package you sent me. And I am using POP OS 20.10, which you can download from their website. I guess I am your next target, first Harvey now me. OK fine, friendship over. I am done, done with this site, done with everyone.

Sorry I ever devoted my time in helping you with anything. I have now ripped your theme from my system, and I won't be dealing with you ever again. I am not the only one getting sick and tired of your BS.

Good freaking bye!

[Aravisian]

Any observer can plainly see exactly where the BS is coming from here.

Jar your Memory: Remember how you told me you did not like the Actual Completed theme because I changed the background to "less dark" and so you refused to use the actual completed theme saying you liked the old test build better even though it doesn't work
NOW you want to claim it is "only the theme I sent you?" I can post the emails trooper.

[Aravisian]

Storm: Apologies; your thread has been degraded by an unexpected side argument. I will see if the Moderator is willing to help clean it up.

For the time that the record stands - for Clarity:

The images StarTrekker Posted are highly misleading; along with the claims he made about them.
The Azenis2021 theme is not broken on POP_OS! nor on Zorin.
This is a very big deal. In posting such inaccuracies about the icons -mine specifically, which needed correction, he opted to then attack the theme.
The build he referred to is a Test Build - that is not publicly released. When I offered a later working model, StarTrekker stated he preferred the color scheme of the Non-working Test Build referred to above and stated that he switches to the system theme on occasion to access any non-working buttons from the test build. He actually said this. To then post screenshots, leading the reader to believe that was an actual theme and claim it Broken as he did was utterly contrary to the actual events and the actual product. He knew this.
In this, he broke developer trust.
I can only repeat that is a very big deal. Accepting a known -not-yet-working model; then posting damaging commentary about these models as if they were publicly released working models is indescribable. I asked him, in trust, to Help Me To Test Them and facets of them.

Currently, I am in the process of designing, building and funding a Website for the purpose of promoting theming, including my own.

To have StarTrekker, prior to any release, Publicly Declare them to "hijack systems" (False), "be broken" (False), "not work on many systems" (Still false) on preliminary test models is so far out of line as to be utterly unthinkable. To attempt to try to "prove his point" by posting screenshots of a preliminary model in spite of having refused a later working model - is highly misleading, disingenuous and very damaging to my project that Is currently Not Publicly Released. He Knew this. He Refused a later working model.
Breaking trust like that in such a manner is mind boggling.

[Storm]

Progress so far:
Added a bunch of new apps
The bare bone of places are done
Added ~500 mime type files
A black theme emerge to fit the black color selection

[Aravisian]

Are you using xdg dirs to make the Steam Folder Icon show (Or setting the icon custom through Nautilus)?

500 Mimes, I am guessing a vigorous use of symlinks at work?

[Storm]

I use custom though nautilus, though I could set it up via xdg. I just havn't come to it yet. My Zorin install is only 3 days old

The Mimes I took from my old work so it was quick with some modifications.

[tyrannia]

In case you were wondering, these icons are stunning and I must say I'm really impressed by how elegant they are! Zorin Team should genuinely consider putting this in the official release of Zorin OS 16! Keep up the good work!

[Storm]

For those who like Dark theme there will be a white icons.

[Storm]

Purple. Is the folders to bright?

[zabadabadoo]

I am not usually a fan of monochrome icons etc but I have to say I am liking what I see in this thread.

@Storm

Is the folders to bright?

If you mean have I put them through the hot wash too many times, then I would say yes (IMO).
Purple "Home" buttons are fine, folders are a bit feint and washed out.

[Storm]

Thanks, I'll take a look at them again.

[Storm]

What about now? I'm trying to keep folder and files in different sharp of color to make it easier to target out.

[Aravisian]

I agree and it shows Storms integrity in asking and checking with others opinions. An honest opinion is far more valuable.
It is well known that I like ol skool Skeuomorphism. I like icons that have depth.
Flat Paper icons, are in my own opinion - the worst. I support diversity and that in FOSS, we can have totally different tastes. But, I dislike tech articles pushing "trending" icons; telling us what we want, what to like.
Don't tell me what to like, man. You've no idea.

Storm took Flat Monochrome and made it work - and coming from me, that says a lot. I agree that the purple is too light in tone. It makes the folders sink into the light background color, instead of standing out.

[Storm]

I'm a sucker when it comes to 50's pastel colors :P, but the color purple is a difficult color to work with, I think. And at the same time I'm trying to keep it in current Zorin theme colors. But personally I think the colors they have chosen are to colorful. I would see them tone a bit down, if I have a say.

I like others opinion, it helps to improve myself. And it's hard sometimes to get others opinions. When I'm asking (experience from my other icon sets), for what example I should add as app icons to them, not a single respons. It's not that people aren't using my icon sets, but apprently I get the silent users

[zabadabadoo]

IMO they still look a bit washed out, especially files when they have white artifacts or logo's inside them. I guess you do not want to make them a lot darker as then they will be same shade as buttons etc.
Also we all have different screens and settings, so what may appear to light for me maybe fine for others. I do a bit of photo editing so am careful about my brightness setting.

100% agree and understand. I also have asked for feedback on my work when I was on Pling and got very very little. No bug reports- nothing. I ended up finding issues all on my own and fixing them and updating them. As it is now, I have my work as installable .deb files and a launchpad- so that in future, any updates I make are just sent out to the users. Because they don't communicate and they won't update it on their own.

EDIT: If you like, I can send you a list of the app icons I include in icon sets I make...
You may want the newest xfce4.16 icon names, if you do not have them already, as well. They have followed the Gnome standard of renaming icons to obsolete existing icon sets by making them ".org.xfce-iconName.png" type of stuff, now. This practice continues as it allows them some control over their "Look and Appearance" which is for them - a brand image.

I guess that may be due to many people, me included I'm afraid, accepting Zorin defaults and options. But keep up the good work. I'm sure this thread will atract attention.

I'm thinking there is need of a Forum sub-section "Zorin Customisation" or something similar, where themes, wallpapers and icon sets etc can all be discussed. i.e. the artistic section of the Forum. @AZorin ?
