Shade of Z - icon themes for Zorin OS

Hi, this looks really cool really nice job!
If you are still accepting suggestion for new icons, I'd love to see these ones added to the list:

*I saw this is already included but could you add the icon as it's shown in the favicon of the site, with the rounded background?

Just some suggestions, as these icons look great :+1:

Thanks, I'll look into it.

Version 4.1 is now out!

What about keepassXC looks like this:

Maybe I downloaded the wrong package, got it from GitHub and thought it was the latest (it says 4.1) but they all look like this (I should point out that I have not yet tried the theme as I'm in another pc right now but I'll try over sometime this week):

But yeah, that's pretty much what I was looking for, sorry for being picky about it :sweat_smile:

It will be awhile before I release another version of Shade of Z (going to build upon my other icon theme), but here's the icons you requested. The icons goes to /Shade of Z - [color]/apps/scalable

I was messing with my displays and when the prompt comes up to confirm the changes, I noticed that there's no icon for it when I use Ctrl + TAB to switch between running applications. I couldn't take a screenshot of it because I was already pressing keys, so I recorded a quick demo:

I am not using Zorin 16 on this laptop so maybe that's the issue. But in any case thought it might be worth letting you know about it. I'm not sure if I can provide some information to help with this?

I have no idea what icon that can be...

The way I would try to ID is is to run that switcher, while trying different Icon themes. When the icon is showing included in the theme you are using, look up that icon by visual recognition.

I just tried with another theme to check it out but as I wasn't sure where to look for the icons on the default themes installed I used another 3rd party that I previously had tried called Nordzy-Dark. I found that icons under:

~/.icons/Nordzy-dark/status/scalable/dialog-question.svg

I don't see that same directory in Shade of Z, could it be that is looking into another directory perhaps some default for themes? Sorry again, but as you can see I'm a little lost when it comes to file structure and looking for this type of graphic icons :sweat_smile:

EDIT: I can't upload the icon but this is the svg for it as it appears under this particular theme

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="48" height="48" viewBox="0 0 38.4 38.4">
 <path d="m 8.4 4.8 c -2 0 -3.6 1.588 -3.6 3.56 l 0 21.677 c 0 1.973 1.607 3.563 3.6 3.563 l 21.6 0 c 1.993 0 3.6 -1.59 3.6 -3.563 l 0 -21.675 c 0 -1.973 -1.607 -3.562 -3.6 -3.563 m -18 4 14.4 0 0 12.8 -4.8 0 0 0.8 -4.8 0 0 -5.6 4.8 0 0 -3.2 -4.8 0 0 1.6 -4.8 0 z m 4.8 16 4.8 0 0 4.8 -4.8 0 z" style="fill:#88c0d0"/>
</svg>

I see if I can find it.

I have that icon in my icon sets. But I do wonder if that Icon was referenced instead of "image-missing" since it almost always bears a question mark.
What does that icon DO on your screen?

What do you mean by "what does the icon do"? The switcher worked normally and the confirm dialogue was brought up to focus when I selected or clicked on the icon.

I mean what happens if you click it... What does the Icon represent?

I'm sorry but I'm lost... If you mean the icon at ~/.icons/Nordzy-dark/status/scalable/dialog-question.svg then it's just opens up with GIMP. If you mean when switching between applications with ctrl + tab as shown in the clip earlier, it focuses the confirm changes prompt.

Yes, this.
So it probably is the dialog-question icon, then. You got that figured out.
That icon should be placed in /status and /status/16.

  • dialog-question
  • dialog-question-symbolic <- This goes only in the status/16 directory
  • stock_dialog-question
  • gtk-dialog-question

Maybe this is the naive approach but I've just tried copying that icon from the other theme over into /status and /status/16 (inside Shade of Z) but it did not work. Does it have to be a symbolic link necessarily if it points to the same file anyway?

You need to edit the index.theme file so it can see it.

under Directories= add status/scalable ( rember to put the image in there too)

also add these lines;

[status/scalable]
Size=128
Context=Status
Type=Scalable
MinSize=22
MaxSize=512

Aha, that did the trick :+1:

Never had to mess around with any of these files, sorry for the sloppiness
