Hardcoded icons

Some software uses an absolute path instead of the icon name in a .desktop file or in the source code which makes them unthemable.

Hardcoded application icons

To deal with hardcoded application icons we recommend using hardcode-fixer. Papirus supports most of the applications in the list. If hardcode-fixer doesn't support your favorite app yet, please open an issue here or edit your .desktop file manually.

Hardcoded tray icons

To fix hardcoded tray icons Papirus supports Hardcode-Tray script. A list of supported applications is available here.

NOTE: To get Papirus to work right with Hardcode-Tray, use the hardcode-tray option --conversion-tool RSVGConvert:

sudo -E hardcode-tray --conversion-tool RSVGConvert --size 22 --theme Papirus

Size recommendations:

  • Unity 22px
  • KDE 22px
  • GNOME 22px (see for more info)
  • XFCE 22px (see for more info)
  • Pantheon 24px
  • Cinnamon 16px
  • LXQt 16px

hardcode-tray

NOTE: Some Electron-based applications have blurred tray icon on KDE (see bug report). To solve this issue pass the following environment variable to the app: XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity wire-desktop

KDE colorscheme

Support for monochrome icons for KDE colorscheme is now available:

  • Papirus - for dark plasma theme & light color scheme
  • Papirus Dark - for dark plasma theme & color scheme
  • Papirus Light - for light plasma theme & color scheme

kde-color-scheme

NOTE: Non-KDE apps don't support KDE colorscheme on the system tray, but you can replace color manually.

Folder's color

Papirus has Folder Color v0.0.80+ support that allows you to change a color of a folder.

Available colors:

Folder Color Preview

For KDE, colors of individual folders can be changed using dolphin-folder-color.

Also, you can use our papirus-folders script to apply the color of folders system-wide.

Recommendations

Manual fixes

Telegram tray icon

For themable tray icon you can use environment variables.

echo "export TDESKTOP_FORCE_PANEL_ICON=1" >> ~/.profile
echo "export TDESKTOP_DISABLE_TRAY_COUNTER=1" >> ~/.profile

Restart system.

For Cinnamon users

For Cinnamon users who want to use Papirus icon theme with Arc theme we recommend fix color icons on panel:

sudo sed -i.orig 's/white/#d3dae3/g' /usr/share/themes/Arc-Dark/cinnamon/cinnamon.css

Cinnamon Arc-Dark theme fix

To deal with blurred panel icons, increase the panel size up to 30px in Systems SettingsPanel (see screenshot).

Restart System.
