Conflux icon set gives a modern look to Linux desktops
Quoting: Conflux icon set gives a modern look to Linux desktops - OMG! Ubuntu —
The author of Conflux said they struggled to find a “modern-looking” icon pack for their desktop, deigning many as overly stylistic, outdated or, in some cases, poorly designed. Another impetus to solve was the way un-themed icons look.
“Conflux should blend seamlessly into your system”, reads the Github page, “so that you don’t even notice you’re using an icon theme.”
Few of us use the same set of apps, and few icons sets cover every thing (not least because new apps appear). Distinctive designs tend to be spoiled more easily when apps aren’t covered. Constant updates help – Papirus continually expands its coverage.
Some icon sets, like GNOME’s Adwaita icons and Ubuntu’s Yaru, intentionally don’t cover everything and don’t change the look of third-party or branded icons (Yaru does a couple, like LibreOffice, but often with the blessing of the upstream project).
