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

I thing that icon for ATI Catalyst can't be changed. I have this tool and I can't find the place where this icons is defined. If you have replacement for it in some icons that you have installed put the name of the file.

I add these icons you requested and I create icon for lotta but you don't include the filename.

Icon for accessories is already there but it seems that it shows icons from AwOken for hint.

Icon for monitors is in the package too but it display icon from next Icons in the stack which is Humanity or gnome (it's skip AwOken). If you find the name of the file put it in comment.

Put the filenames of this icons. I don't have these programs and I don't know how to call them. They should be visible in folder for icons that have replacement for these or in /usr/share/icons.

Easytag is the package but I forget to add one symlink.

They look nice in the screenshots, but the icon theme doesn't work in my Fedora 14 :(

Any thoughts?

The problem was with comments before svg main tag in icons files. I fix this problem so it should work now.

this looks very niice mate!

however,
i think you should have made it all easier to work with.

I am not quite a "n00b" at installing/customizing themes...
but I dont even know how to use this.

I think a majority of folks will feel the same way.

i mean,
its a PITA to customize..
and its even a PITA to install.
why not make it 'normal'.?

oh well,
sweet looking set,
wish i could use it.

nice work anyway.

yea i cant even install this thing man.

no idea how,
and you dont include how in the README file.

that sucks. :(

figured i could at least just use them grey,
but no...
needs to be installed for that. lol

fockin hell

p.s..

the name of the theme is "clarity"
, yet there is not much clarity on how to use it, for those who are not pro linux customizers.

to everyday people..
'clarity' is not present here mate.

Although beauty is. lol

To install this theme.

$ tar xzvf clarity.tar.gz
$ cp -R Clarity ~/.icons

And it should be installed.

to switch colors of icons (I create Makefile so you just type make)

blue icons:

$ cd ~/.icons/Clarity
$ make caeruleus

orange icons:

$ cd ~/.icons/Clarity
$ make luteus

violet icons

$ cd ~/.icons/Clarity
$ make violaceus

green icons

$ cd ~/.icons/Clarity
$ make viridis

The rest is if you want to create your own color theme or add new icons. To create your own theme you must hove some SVG knowledge. If you just want to change color

I put this in Readme so It will be clear.

Hey,
Thanks for the reply..
and sorry for seeming like a dick earlier....
my apologies.

I just followed your instructions again,
and cannot even get past your first command.

Dimension:~$ tar xzvf clarity.tar.gz
tar (child): clarity.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

What does that mean?

Is there something I have to do before that?

I never have trouble installing themes..
so it's just very aggravating.. lol
especially on such a niice looking theme set. lol

Thanks again.
Peace <3
