Papirus Eye Candy

brontosaurusrex posted a screenshot of using papirus icons.  I just had to have that eye candy on my installs.  I wanted to share how to install the icon set for others who might be interested.

01) Download the icon theme set from here.  The downloaded file name should be something like papirus-kde-icon-2015.11.1.tar.xz.

02) Extract the downloaded file.  You should now have three folders with the following names:  papirus, papirus-black-panel, and papirus-dark.

03) As super user, copy the papirus folder to /usr/share/icons.

04) Open LXAppearance (Settings - User Interface Settings in the openbox menu).

05) Click the Icon Theme tab.

06) Select Papirus in the left pane and click the Apply button in the lower right corner.

Enjoy!  Special thank you to brontosaurusrex for sharing his find.

One caveat:  I've noticed that some icons (pcmanfm) are almost invisible in the tint2 panel.  You have to decide if the eye candy is worth this anomaly.

Re: Papirus Eye Candy

For alternative install (getting stuff via git & "installing" for single user):

git clone https://github.com/varlesh/papirus-pack-kde
# this will take a while and I don't know a way to pull a single dir out of github
cp -r papirus-pack-kde/icons/papirus/ ~/.icons/
lxappearance &
# select papirus, Apply, logout, login

scrot:

@KrunchTime: screenshot or It did not happen.

@bronto

You can search through all the files on a github repo, if you go to the site. The icons are at https://github.com/varlesh/papirus-pack … ster/icons.

Or d/l the zip and extract what you want.

Re: Papirus Eye Candy

@damo: can you download a zip of a single folder? < is the question.

You can d/l individual git directories with `svn`:
   Get the svn git url by choosing the Subversion checkout URL from the right sidebar
   Subversion uses `trunk` instead of `tree/master`, so in this case you can do

svn export https://github.com/varlesh/papirus-pack-kde/trunk/icons

It doesn't d/l a zip but does get you the icon folders.

[EDIT: use `export` instead of `checkout`]

Re: Papirus Eye Candy

Unfortunately thunar is showing the dark icons in the sidepane
`inode-directory.svg` links to `folder.svg` as it is supposed to, but it is `folder-black.svg` variations which are displaying. Tint2 displays the correct icons BTW.

Anyone know what I am doing wrong?  8o

Yes, configure thunar to use bigger icons for side pane.

I had already tried a bigger size - the next one up did the trick!

/Face, let me introduce you to desk.../

Thanks

Re: Papirus Eye Candy

Only know the answer, since I got "2 different looks" on two installs and thought they updated the git ... for a moment or two

Re: Papirus Eye Candy

@damo:  Same issue for PCManFM and similar issue (menu bar icons) for Double Commander.  However, I can live with it compared to what I'm getting in return.
