Description:

Vector icon theme for GTK. It can be used with XFce or GNOME. (I added logos for Ubuntu. Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Debian, SUSE, Fedora, Gentoo, Arch, Zenwalk, Mndriva and Mint)

I put all files into git repository on github https://github.com/jcubic/Clarity All errors and missing icons you can submit as issues there.

There are seven predefined themes (in five color schemes)

caeruleus - blue gradient
lux_caeruleus - glossy variant
canus - grey gradient(default)
dark_canus - dark grey gradient (for light themes)
luteus - orange gradient
violaceus - violet/pink gradient
lux_violaceus - glossy variant
viridis - green gradient
albus - white solid

To install copy Clarity folder to ~/.icons

You can now use PPA to install clarity icons
[indent] $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jcubic/jcubicppa && sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install clarity-icon-theme[/indent]

To change color theme of icons:
[indent] 1. you need to have installed rsvg-convert (in Ubuntu 16.04 it's in librsvg2-bin package)
2. open folder ~/.icons/Clarity
3. execute change-theme script
4. select the theme and click ok[/indent]
If you install from PPA repository or deb package run script as root:
[indent] $ gksu change-theme[/indent]

or from terminal:
[indent] $ cd ~/.icons/Clarity
$ make (name of the theme)[/indent]

If you install from PPA repository or deb package:
[indent] $ cd /usr/share/icons/Clarity
$ sudo make (name of the theme)[/indent]

To change distributor logo

[indent] $ cd ~/.icons/Clarity
$ make fedora[/indent]
(available logos are: arch, debian, fedora, gentoo, gnome, kubuntu, madriva, mint, suse, ubuntu, xfce, xubuntu and zenwalk)

If you install from PPA repository or deb package:
[indent] $ cd /usr/share/icons/Clarity
$ sudo make fedora[/indent]

FURTHER CUSTOMIZATION

You can create your own colors for icons
by modifying or creating new template which is SVG file.

After creating new template in src/template_your_name.svg just double click change-theme and select your theme. (if you want to use make you must run configure first)

NOTE: You must have installed zenity, change-theme depend on it and also rsvg-convert for 16px icons

It is great to see that there are still some really simplistic and yet effective icon sets around. I had a nostalgic moment when I saw these icons. You should maintain this icon set for the years to come since it is very good and balanced presentation. Voted up. Have a nice day.

I will search for more missing links at the weekend and add a *.tar.gz at rapidshare with fixed links. I like your theme :)

I get email from gnome-look but this message is missing. You can fork icons on github add all your changes and create pull request. I'll check them, if they are fine I'll merge them, I added few icons to github that are missing in packages, if you merge your changes I create new packages so everybody get new versions. Here is the repo https://github.com/jcubic/Clarity, I would prefer if you fork and create pull request, but if you prefer to just upload those icons somewhere it will be fine, I still check them.

Do still create new versions of clarity? I've found missing links for USB drives for example.
Do you need some help to find all missing links?

Report

jcubic

I don't have much time to work on it, but if have links, that are missing, you can send them to me or add comment here. I'll add them to the package.

Also if you find other bugs or request an icon, I can add it too.

I have added some missing icosn by copy and paste from other icons of your theme. I think it looks good.

The only thing I can't change is, that the emblems are very bad to see on a folder, the emblems need a white border to see tme better.

Do want that I upload my changed theme somewhere? So you can compare and tell me if I did mistakes.

..but how can I create a template to get other colors?

Report

jcubic

Take a look at files in src directory they start with template_ and they are svg files that have two markers {{TITLE}} and {{PATH}}. So you need to create file like this.

You can take existing icon modify it in Inkscape save it as clean svg (in template_???.svg file) and then put {{TITLE}} and {{PATH}} into righ place. {{PATH}} should be inside "d" attribute of the "path" element.

You can also use text editor to modify SVG file directly.

When you put that file in src directory you will be able to select it from change_theme script. If you want to use make instead you need to run ./configure.

Looks beautiful, but it's not really usable yet, because there are still too many missing icons. The default icons look terible mixed with it. I'm looking forward to when it has an icon for every application in the repository.

Thank you

Could you add icons for JDownloader and cups? Do you plan a script to change the distributorlogo while changing the color of the icons?

Report

jcubic

You can change the logo using make, but I can create a script just like for changing theme.

All previous problem seem to be gone. Great, thanks a lot. Just the theme I've been looking for. I wonder how will it be when the version hit 1.x.

Not sure if you're aware, but the PPA build failed due to the use of imagemagic's "convert" command not being found.

Other than that, keep up the great work!

Hello! I made a PKGBUILD of this cool iconset which builds ALL colors in one package. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=46996

I also symlinked some icons from here to there to support some more apps. See PKGBUILD. I'd be glad if you could put some of these links in your package.

I still miss the following icons: wicd, HP-Device-manager, CUPS.

At last, I think I found an error in your makefile. In all actions for the different distros (arch,suse,fedora etc) you "ln" svg to png. Each last 3 lines seem to be wrong.

I added your symlinks, and I will add missing icons, I will publish packages soon.

In your PKGBUILD file you link to the path of the pachage and the version number, but when I upload new version of the package to fileden, the path will change (because it contain the date when it was uploaded).

The license is GPL not CC-BY

And thinks for using my icons.

Your README says:

I updated the license notice in README.

PS: In your PKGBUILD file you put the path to the file (with version as variable) but every time I upload new version of the package, the path will be different, because the path contain the date of the upload.

Yeah, I must change the date everytime you release a new version.
I just introduced a new variable for the releasedate.

Now I only wonder: 2011/2/28 ???

That's mistake, it should be GPL, besides in all icons there is separate copyright notice and on the page and everywhere there is GPL. I will fix README.

when i opt for the bluish tint, some of the apps (covergloobus, network tools, banshee, playonlinux etc doesnt colize... they seem to retain the default colors, any clue ?

Report

jcubic

I just build blue icons using both make and change-theme script that in both cases all icons are changed. The icons that ramain unchanged are only wireless loading, system-upgrade, few actions and linux logo (those in static folder).

I will make wireless loading icons, and spelling changeable.

As for covergloobus, banshee and playonlinux they are not in the package. Clarity inherit icons from AwOken icons (they are similar) so they are taken from that theme.
