KDE color scheme

Now available support monochrome icons for KDE color scheme (with Breeze engine and supported Plasma Themes):

• Papirus - for dark plasma theme & light window theme
• Papirus Dark - for dark plasma theme & window theme or white plasma theme & window theme

Recommends

• For GTK better use icons with GTK theme Arc Dark
• For KDE better use with Arc KDE

Manual fixes

For Cinnamon users with Arc Dark better use another color for tray icons:

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

Also increase panel size with text option - because on Papirus available for tray apps only 22px & 24px

For Ubuntu users recommend use patched Notify-OSD with icon size 33px

~/.notify-osd example:

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

Also you can change main launcher logo and unity-tweak-tool icons, see extra folder on icon theme.

For elementary OS Loki users recommend use another color for panel icons with elementary GTK theme:

sudo sed -i.orig 's/color: #fff/color: #d3dae3/g' /usr/share/themes/elementary/gtk-3.0/apps.css
