Description:

Vector icon theme for GTK. It can be used with XFce or GNOME. (I added logos for Ubuntu. Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Debian, SUSE, Fedora, Gentoo, Arch, Zenwalk, Mndriva and Mint)

I put all files into git repository on github https://github.com/jcubic/Clarity All errors and missing icons you can submit as issues there.

There are seven predefined themes (in five color schemes)

caeruleus - blue gradient
lux_caeruleus - glossy variant
canus - grey gradient(default)
dark_canus - dark grey gradient (for light themes)
luteus - orange gradient
violaceus - violet/pink gradient
lux_violaceus - glossy variant
viridis - green gradient
albus - white solid

To install copy Clarity folder to ~/.icons

You can now use PPA to install clarity icons
[indent] $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jcubic/jcubicppa && sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install clarity-icon-theme[/indent]

To change color theme of icons:
[indent] 1. you need to have installed rsvg-convert (in Ubuntu 16.04 it's in librsvg2-bin package)
2. open folder ~/.icons/Clarity
3. execute change-theme script
4. select the theme and click ok[/indent]
If you install from PPA repository or deb package run script as root:
[indent] $ gksu change-theme[/indent]

or from terminal:
[indent] $ cd ~/.icons/Clarity
$ make (name of the theme)[/indent]

If you install from PPA repository or deb package:
[indent] $ cd /usr/share/icons/Clarity
$ sudo make (name of the theme)[/indent]

To change distributor logo

[indent] $ cd ~/.icons/Clarity
$ make fedora[/indent]
(available logos are: arch, debian, fedora, gentoo, gnome, kubuntu, madriva, mint, suse, ubuntu, xfce, xubuntu and zenwalk)

If you install from PPA repository or deb package:
[indent] $ cd /usr/share/icons/Clarity
$ sudo make fedora[/indent]

FURTHER CUSTOMIZATION

You can create your own colors for icons
by modifying or creating new template which is SVG file.

After creating new template in src/template_your_name.svg just double click change-theme and select your theme. (if you want to use make you must run configure first)

NOTE: You must have installed zenity, change-theme depend on it and also rsvg-convert for 16px icons

Can't speak for all the colors but installed caeruleus and when I open the Preferences dialog in Evolution, the left side if very wide. Some icon(s) is(are) probably too big there.

It looks ok in Fedora XFce, what distribution you're using? Did you install in ~/.icon or /usr/share/icons directory (I think it shouldn't matter)?

When I've opened the preferences, I think the icons where at 64x64 but they look the same on other themes in XFce.

Running Debian stable here.
Installed in ~/.icons.
My point of comparison was Netwaita icon theme, and I think it looks ok in Evolution's preferences dialog.
Did you try the caeruleus variant specifically?

Here is how it look like in Fedora/XFce

Will need to add icons for evolution not all of them are created. Do you have all of the large or only the blue ones?

Thanks, I'll check tonight when I'm back home.
The separator between the left side (categories) and right side (options) is pushed toward the right with Clarity icons.
I'll scroll down and see if I find a bigger icon than normal there.

Removed the folder in .icons and installed with the 0.5.0 .deb instead and same thing.
Here's what I see: http://i68.tinypic.com/2vaiivb.png

Weird I will probably will need to create smaller icons just for evolution like with 16x16 (but probably will not create all icons like with 16px only those for evolution props).

What window manager/Desktop you're using? Maybe I will replicate this on my machine or in VirtualBox.

Thanks for your time!
I use native xfwm4 window manager, nothing special.
It's not a big issue, I don't open the preferences menu everyday. :)
I just wanted to bring this to your attention.
Take care,
François

Yes I can confirm, I've installed evolution on my Xubuntu 12.04 in VirtualBox and the icons are quite large.

You can fix it by executing this code:

find /usr/share/icons/Clarity/scalable/ -type f | sudo xargs sed -i 's/width="128" height="128"/width="64" height="64" viewBox="0 0 128 128"/'

this will be cleared after you change icon color if you also execute this on src directory you will have permanent fix will create 0.5.1 version with a fix.

Tried that but got an error message from sed. (no input file)

That's weird, if you've installed from deb package you should have that directory. Try

find /usr/share/icons/Clarity/scalable/ -type f | wc -l

it should give you 920. If you installed in ~/.icons/Clarity then change that path and you will not need sudo.

You need librsvg package https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=librsvg Also I think I've broken the build just uploaded new version of tar ball. The repo is also fixed + updated change-theme script.

Is there a way to download these icons without having to install a package so it installs it for you? Honestly, I run gentoo with Fluxbox, so obviously I am concerned with having a minimalist system. Adding an unnecessary package for icons seems a little useless for me. Does anyone have a direct link to download icons?

You can download tar.gz file, it contain source files or get it from github and extract to ~/.icons/Clarity directory.

Great theme....
but as many said, the script that installs should also be configured to clean up unwanted stuff that may never be needed after install ! and yes, one suggestion... when running the script "change theme" i will also second the opinion where you can display "Success, Colorization completed" or something like that...

another main suggestion...
can users have option to use custom colors [the popup menu asks for the #HEX code 1 and #HEX code 2 [to get the blend effect... then it wil be unique [like AwOken set colorization]

So these 3 files should not be in the iconset?

build-stamp
configure-stamp
mkshape

I'm not sure what you mean when you say?

You can't change that text (it's also translated to your language).

What I'm trying to tell you is that the Zenity GUI still says 'Running' when it's completed and you should be able to change this so it shows it's completed? Or you're saying, there is no way to have the GUI say it's completed?

thank you

It's no way GUI to say completed, the user can't change that message.

It seems that you can change that text you just echo "# Completed" added in tar.gz package and in repo.

Hi,

I just ran the 'change-theme' script to change a color. It showed it was running, and the progress bar was moving, but when it completed the words 'Running' were still present, it would be nice to change this to 'Completed' when it is done, otherwise it just looks like it's stuck sitting there still trying to run...

thank you
