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 four variants: - Papirus (for light theme and dark panel) - Papirus Dark (for dark theme and panel) - Papirus Light (for light theme and panel) - 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 tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/papirus-ppa.list << EOF deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/papirus/papirus/ubuntu xenial main EOF sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com E58A9D36647CAE7F sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install papirus-icon-theme ``` ### Papirus Installer Use the scripts to install the latest version directly from this repo (independently on your distro): **NOTE:** Use the same script to update icon themes. #### ROOT directory (recommended) ``` wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/master/install-papirus-root.sh | sh ``` #### HOME directory for GTK ``` wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/master/install-papirus-home-gtk.sh | sh ``` #### HOME directory for KDE ``` wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/master/install-papirus-home-kde.sh | sh ``` **NOTE:** Qt4 apps require `libqt4-svg` to work correctly. #### Remove ``` wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/master/remove-papirus.sh | sh ``` ### Unofficial packages Packages in this section are not part of the official repositories.

What colors are used for monochrome icons on KDE? **Papirus**: - actions, devices, places - class: **ColorScheme-Text** color: `#5c616c` - class: **ColorScheme-Highlight** color: `#5294e2` - panel - class: **ColorScheme-ButtonBackground** color: `#d3dae3` - class: **ColorScheme-Highlight** color: `#5294e2` **Papirus-Dark**: - actions, devices, places and panel - class: **ColorScheme-Text** color: `#d3dae3` - class: **ColorScheme-Highlight** color: `#5294e2` **Papirus-Light**: - actions, devices, places and panel - class: **ColorScheme-Text** color: `#5c616c` - class: **ColorScheme-Highlight** color: `#5294e2`
## Folder's color Papirus has [Folder colors](http://foldercolor.tuxfamily.org/) support that allows you to change a global color of folders or just one of them. Available colors: ![Folder Color Preview](http://i.imgur.com/JSIa5WD.png) For KDE, colors of individual folders can be changed using [dolphin-folder-color](https://github.com/audoban/dolphin-folder-color)
Caveats for using dolphin-folder-color - The flags of the `kdialog` command used by the scripts varies by version. Some newer versions lack the `--caption` and `--geometry` flags. You may need to edit the script files manually so that they can be successfully run. - Papirus icon theme does not have the same color set as the default Breeze theme, so one or two of the colors may not work.
Currently, there is no easy way to change the global color of folders in KDE. You may edit the themes by yourself if you wish. ## 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) ## Recommendations - For GTK, better use icons alongside GTK theme [Arc Theme](https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme) - For KDE, better use alongside [Arc KDE](https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/arc-kde) ## Manual fixes
For Cinnamon users For Cinnamon users who want use Papirus icon theme with [arc-theme](https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme), we recommend the following combinations: **light theme** - Window borders `Arc` or `Arc-Darker` - Icons `ePapirus` - Controls `Arc` or `Arc-Darker` - Desktop `Arc` or `Arc-Dark` **dark theme** - Window borders `Arc-Dark` - Icons `Papirus-Dark` - Controls `Arc-Dark` - Desktop `Arc-Dark` with an another color for tray icons: ``` 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) Also, increase panel size with `Allow Cinnamon to scale panel text and icons according to the panel height` option because Papirus contains only 22px and 24px panel's icons.
For GNOME 3 users For Gnome users who want use Papirus icon theme with [arc-theme](https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme), we recommend use [TopIcons Plus](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1031/topicons/) extension with icon size **22px** or **24px** And change icons color for panel: ``` sudo sed -i.orig 's/white/#d3dae3/g' /usr/share/themes/Arc-Dark/gnome-shell/gnome-shell.css ``` ![Gnome Arc-Dark theme fix](http://i.imgur.com/5Mb2HRs.png) 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. To fix tiny icons size of the extension use the following command (details [rgcjonas/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator#68](https://github.com/rgcjonas/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/issues/68)): ``` sed -i.orig '/indicator, icon_size/a icon_size += 8;' ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/appindicatorsupport@rgcjonas.gmail.com/appIndicator.js ```
For Unity users For Unity users, we recommend installing patched [Notify-OSD](https://launchpad.net/~leolik/+archive/ubuntu/leolik) and change an 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) Also, you can change [Unity launcher icon](https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/tree/master/Papirus/extra/unity) and [unity-tweak-tool icons](https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/tree/master/Papirus/extra/unity-tweak-tool). Look into the extra folder in the icon theme.
For Xfce users Here is a few recommendation for Xfce users. #### Thunar File Manager Go to `Edit` → `Preferences...`. Click on `Side Pane` tab. Under `Side Pane`, look for `Icon Size` and set to `Very Small`. ![thunar-prefecences](http://i.imgur.com/Iu1TIEa.png) #### Notification Area Go to `Settings Manager` → `Panel` → `Items` tab. Select `Notification Area` item and click on `Edit currently selected item` button. Under `Appearance` set the following options: - Set `Maximum icon size (px)` to `24` - Uncheck `Show frame` ![xfce4-notification-area](http://i.imgur.com/MopCZBZ.png)
