Papirus is a free and open source SVG icon theme for Linux, based on [Paper Icon Set](https://github.com/snwh/paper-icon-theme) with a lot of new icons and a few extras, like [Hardcode-Tray support](#hardcoded-tray-icons), [KDE colorscheme support](#kde-colorscheme), [Folder Color support](#folders-color), and [others](#extras).

Papirus icon theme is available in six variants:

 - Papirus (for Arc / Arc Darker)
 - Papirus Dark (for Arc Dark)
 - Papirus Light (light theme with Breeze colors)
 - Papirus Adapta (for Adapta)
 - Papirus Adapta Nokto (for Adapta Nokto)
 - ePapirus (for elementary OS and Pantheon Desktop)

## Installation

### Ubuntu and derivatives

You can install Papirus from our official [PPA](https://launchpad.net/~papirus/+archive/ubuntu/papirus):

```
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:papirus/papirus
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install papirus-icon-theme
```

or download .deb packages from [here](https://launchpad.net/~papirus/+archive/ubuntu/papirus/+packages?field.name_filter=papirus-icon-theme).

### Debian and derivatives

Debian users also can install Papirus from our [PPA](https://launchpad.net/~papirus/+archive/ubuntu/papirus), but the commands will differ:

```
sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/papirus/papirus/ubuntu xenial main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/papirus-ppa.list"

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com E58A9D36647CAE7F
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install papirus-icon-theme
```
**NOTE:** If you get a error like this when running the 2nd command: 
```
gpg: failed to start the dirmngr '/usr/bin/dirmngr': No such file or directory
gpg: connecting dirmngr at '/tmp/apt-key-gpghome.n6DTgEC7J8/S.dirmngr' failed: No such file or directory
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No dirmngr

```
You need to run ``` sudo apt-get install dirmngr ``` and try running the 2nd command again.

## 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](https://github.com/Foggalong/hardcode-fixer). Papirus supports most of the applications in the [list](https://github.com/Foggalong/hardcode-fixer/blob/master/tofix.csv). If [hardcode-fixer](https://github.com/Foggalong/hardcode-fixer) doesn't support your favorite app yet, please open an issue [here](https://github.com/Foggalong/hardcode-fixer/issues) or edit your .desktop file manually.

### Hardcoded tray icons

To fix hardcoded tray icons Papirus supports [Hardcode-Tray](https://github.com/bil-elmoussaoui/Hardcode-Tray) script. A list of supported applications is available [here](https://github.com/bil-elmoussaoui/Hardcode-Tray/tree/master/data/database).

**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](https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme#manual-fixes) for more info)
- XFCE 22px ([see](https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme#manual-fixes) for more info)
- Pantheon 24px
- Cinnamon 16px

**BUG on KDE with libappindicator**: Some applications have wrong rendering by default on KDE. For solve this run application with Unity environment option.

For example:

```
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity wire-desktop

```

See more info [here](https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=366062) and please vote for this bug.

## 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](http://i.imgur.com/oM1qhQH.png)

**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](http://foldercolor.tuxfamily.org/) v0.0.80+ support that allows you to change a color of a folder.

Available colors:

![Folder Color Preview](https://i.imgur.com/bOMnzuq.png)

For KDE, colors of individual folders can be changed using [dolphin-folder-color](https://github.com/audoban/dolphin-folder-color).

Also, you can use our [papirus-folders](https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-folders) script to apply the color of folders system-wide.

## Extras

- [Papirus theme for LibreOffice](https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-libreoffice-theme)
- [Papirus themes for FileZilla](https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-filezilla-themes)
- [Papirus theme for SMPlayer](https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-smplayer-theme)
- [Papirus themes for Claws Mail](https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-claws-mail-theme)
- [Papirus theme for aMule](https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-amule-theme)

## Recommendations

- For GTK, better use icons alongside GTK theme [Materia](https://github.com/nana-4/materia-theme) and [Adapta Themes](https://github.com/adapta-project/adapta-gtk-theme) or [Arc Themes](https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme) / [ new upstream Arc Themes](https://github.com/NicoHood/arc-theme)
- For KDE, better use alongside [Materia KDE](https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/materia-kde) and [Adapta KDE](https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/adapta-kde) or [Arc KDE](https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/arc-kde)

## Manual fixes

<details>
<summary>For Cinnamon users</summary>

For Cinnamon users who want to use Papirus icon theme with [Arc Themes](https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme) / [ new upstream Arc Themes](https://github.com/NicoHood/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](http://i.imgur.com/XXejgtD.png)

To deal with blurred panel icons, increase the panel size up to 30px in `Systems Settings` → `Panel` (see [screenshot](https://i.imgur.com/oToRBYv.png)).
</details>

<details>
<summary>For GNOME 3 users</summary>

For GNOME users who want use Papirus icon theme with [Arc Themes](https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme) / [ new upstream Arc Themes](https://github.com/NicoHood/arc-theme), we recommend change icons color for panel:

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

Translucent panel on Adapta Nokto Gnome Shell Theme:

```
sudo sed -i.orig '/panel:overview/ s/rgba(19, 25, 28, 0.01)/rgba(19, 25, 28, 0.7)/g' /usr/share/themes/Adapta-Nokto/gnome-shell/gnome-shell.css
```

Also, we recommend using [AppIndicator/KStatusNotifierItem Support](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/) extension for appindicator-apps, because patched version of sni-qt for hardcode-tray doesn't work without that on gnome-shell.

And:
- [Dash to Dock](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/307/dash-to-dock/)
- [No Symbolic Icons](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1304/no-symbolic-icons/)
- [Status Area Horizontal Spacing](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/355/status-area-horizontal-spacing/)

</details>

<details>
<summary>For Unity users</summary>

For Unity users, we recommend installing patched [Notify-OSD](https://launchpad.net/~leolik/+archive/ubuntu/leolik) and changing the icon size to 33px.

*~/.notify-osd* file:

```
slot-allocation = dynamic
bubble-expire-timeout = 10sec
bubble-vertical-gap = 10px
bubble-horizontal-gap = 10px
bubble-corner-radius = 24px
bubble-icon-size = 33px
bubble-gauge-size = 6px
bubble-width = 240px
bubble-background-color = 2f343f
bubble-background-opacity = 95%
text-margin-size = 10px
text-title-size = 100%
text-title-weight = bold
text-title-color = adb7bf
text-title-opacity = 100%
text-body-size = 90%
text-body-weight = normal
text-body-color = eaeaea
text-body-opacity = 100%
text-shadow-opacity = 50%
location = 1
bubble-prevent-fade = 1
bubble-close-on-click = 1
bubble-as-desktop-bg = 0
```

![notify-fix](http://i.imgur.com/hjTpvca.png)

Look into the extra folder in the icon theme.
