    Seems kinda inconsistent. I’m seeing thin lines, thicc lines, flat, 3d, colored and monochrome all together

      The icons don’t all speak the same language, true. Some are way more elaborate and detailed than others, which just makes them look off.

      Maybe the library could be a single book instead of an entire bookshelf, for example?

      Jesus, it’s so inconsistent. I suppose that may be beneficial when looking at all of your folders at a bird’s eye view but my knee jerk reaction isn’t the most positive.

    That looks… really inconsistent

    • Why is the mac icon black while the rest aren’t?
    • Why are the games/downloads icons offset while the rest aren’t?
    • Why are some icons really minimalistic and some really detailed?
    • Why do the colored folders have a line while the rest don’t?
    • Why are java/android/deb/blender colored while the rest aren’t?
    • And why is the black folder blue lol

      IIRC they refined the Breeze icons over a LONG period of time to get them to the current state - I’m sure the same will be true here.

    These are definitely an improvement over the current icons but they all need to be refined. There seems to be different design rules for every single icon. The games and download folders both need a complete redesign and why are the symbols on each folder white except for the Mac folder?

    Finally designers are realizing it’s not 2013 anymore and nobody liked the Win8 designed-in-powerpoint style.

    Respectfully, I love how powerful KDE is but my god they can’t make things visually consistent to save their lives!

    From inconsistent icons, to different KDE apps using wildly different design languages, to padding being inconsistent all throughout the DE and their apps, to fonts and their sizes kinda being all over the place

    But at least a custom theme is trivial to install and solves most of it

    They are… certainly icons. I can’t get any more excited than that I’m afraid

    Still garbage. Why is it so hard for the KDE guys to actually design something simple that makes sense? Starting with proportions and spacing between elements that they seem to be unaware of?

    Now KDE needs to implement a consistent design language for its apps, clean up its settings, and have better defaults. Not asking KDE to copy Gnome, just that it needs a lot more work to be palletable to someone using it for the first time.

    Ooh, it really reminds me of newaita reborn which is one of my favorite icon themes. I’m glad they’re making it a little less minimal

    I’ve seen better designs. But I’ve also seen worse designs. This is pretty meh.

    And I was gonna try out KDE anyway.

        Isn’t KDE spearheding HDR support for Wayland? And doing a bunch more objectively good/usefull projects like the xwayland video bridge?

          Technologically, it’s the best DE out there, no contest. (Maybe with the exception of touchscreen integration)
          But some design decisions grind my gears so hard I can’t use it.
          I get irrationally angry when I see the bouncing cursor animation, or look at a list of my programs and half the names start with “K”.
          It feels too sluggish, overloaded and Windows-y in its default configuration and getting rid of everything that nags me takes too long, when Gnome comes out of the box looking simple and stylish.

    My opinion, if possible, just use the Papirus icons by default. It does such a great job of being consistent while giving apps their own look.

    I actually quite like the current breeze style.
