Setting up Papirus on Ubuntu can be tricky so we are going install Unity Tweak Tool from the Ubuntu Repository. Unity Tweak tool is a great and simple way to customize Unity.

Before or After Icons on Linux Mint 18

Papirus has icons for all my favorite apps and default apps and I really like how Papirus changes the icons for my favorite apps like, Atom text editor, vlc and LibreOffice. After using Papirus every icon will change and wont have any regular or default icons. Which is nice, because when you see a default icon on a new icon theme it stands out.

Установить Papirus Icon Theme в Ubuntu и производные

Как известно, значки рабочего стола и приложений могут видоизменить систему, сделав её более привлекательной.
В данной статье я хочу предложить вашему вниманию современные и стильные значки Papirus Icons.
Papirus Icons основаны на значках Paper. Они разработаны как для пользовательского интерфейса GTK+, так и для оболочки KDE, разработчиком-дизайнером Алексеем Варфоломеевым, он же varlesh и админ сайта MyKubik.

Вот как выглядят значки Papirus Icons в Ubuntu c окружением Unity:

Установка Papirus Icon Theme в Ubuntu и производные

Откройте терминал, скопируйте и выполните следующие команды:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:papirus/papirus
sudo apt update
sudo apt install papirus-icon-theme

По окончании установки, откройте приложение по изменению внешнего вида рабочего стола вашего дистрибутива и активируйте одну из тем Papirus:

На странице проекта https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme вы можете найти установку темы значков для оболочки KDE.

P.S. Уважаемые пользователи сайта Compizomania, разработчик темы значков Papirus Алексей Варфоломеев обратился ко мне с просьбой опубликовать на сайте о помощи проекту в дальнейшей поддержке и разработке буквально следующее:
«Приветствую Владимир! Я админ MyKubik, он же varlesh. Буду Вам признателен, если вы объявите в своем блоге о помощи проекту Papirus Development Team:

С уважением, Алексей Варфоломеев!»

От себя добавлю. Дизайнеры, не останьтесь в стороне и помогите в продолжении проекта. Ведь Linux-сообщество всегда было и остаётся дружелюбным и сплочённым!

NOTE: If you are a maintainer and want to be in the list, please create an issue or make a pull request.

Some software uses an absolute path instead of the icon name in a .desktop file or in the source code which makes them unthemable.

Hardcoded application icons

To deal with hardcoded application icons we recommend using hardcode-fixer. Papirus supports most of the applications in the list. If hardcode-fixer doesn’t support your favorite app yet, please open an issue here or edit your .desktop file manually.

Hardcoded tray icons

To fix hardcoded tray icons Papirus supports Hardcode-Tray script. A list of supported applications is available here.

NOTE: To get Papirus to work right with Hardcode-Tray, use the hardcode-tray option —conversion-tool RSVGConvert :

NOTE: Some Electron-based applications have blurred tray icon on KDE (see bug report). To solve this issue pass the following environment variable to the app: XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity wire-desktop
