A minimalistic icon theme for Linux desktops

argon-icon-theme

• A minimalistic app icon theme for Linux, designed for GNOME, but should work elsewhere
• Any donations are greatly appreciated :)

Themed icons:

• This icon theme targets the following areas:
  • App icons
  • MIME types
  • Weather, device and miscellaneous status icons

Installing:

• sudo make install
• Set the icon theme using gnome-tweaks, or gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme Argon
• Installation path can be configured using the environment variable INSTALL_DIR
  • For example, INSTALL_DIR=/usr/share/icons/Argon sudo make install

Building:

• It's not necessary to rebuild the theme to install, only if modifications have been made
• make build -jX will clean, then generate changed icons and index.theme
• make regen -jX will regenerate all icons, whether they have been changed or not, and index.theme
• make reset will delete all generated icons and index.theme
• make clean will delete icons missing a corresponding svg, broken symlinks and empty directories, then prune
• make prune will delete rubbish elements and attributes from the svgs
• make index will generate index.theme (Done automatically by build and regen)
• make check will check all defined symlinks are valid
• make install will copy the theme in its current state to the install location, check and generate any symlinks, then run make refresh
• make refresh will generate an icon cache for the theme

Contributing:

  • Create / modify / delete the appropriate .svg file(s)
