## 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](cinnamon-arc-dark-theme-fix.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 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
```
