Description RaitaroH 2018-02-16 09:41:26 UTC

So I made a couple of scripts that use sed to change the look of KDE Plasma 5.

First of all there is the color scheme changer here: https://github.com/RaitaroH/BreezeDarkColorSchemes
Also there is the icon changer here: https://github.com/RaitaroH/BreezeDarkIconColors

For the Icon Changer I used the colors for the other icons such as purple, green, black, grey and so on. This way I didn't change them too much.


You may ask why I did this... customization I suppose. In Linux Mint for example I really liked how you could easily change the icon set from green to say aqua. Might be kinda nice to have something like that in plasma. Adding separate icon sets is a bit much. Maybe some little button in the system settings > icons could do the trick, simply run a similar script I suppose. I guess adding it to the store would be something too, but those are custom icons where as these are breeze icons. Also the store can be quite a pane sometimes, is way easier to have easy setting.

Hi,

breeze already use the colors from the color scheme. when you have the breeze color scheme it use the breeze colors, when use the breeze-dark one all icons switch to this color scheme. same should be for the mint color scheme.

Only the folder icons didn't change the color according to the color scheme but therefor you can use the folder icons from the store. With this the folder icons change also the color and the benefit is that the backup of the icon theme from the store is breeze so in the store are only the folder icons needed all other stuff come from breeze. So if breeze-icons get an update the rainbow folder icon theme didn't need an update cause it already use them.

I hope I could help sorry that you had some work but is shouldn't be needed.

As I wrote it's not needed it's already implemented and approved.
