Love those icons with the theme. Kind of a retro look.

Just noticed "Linux -This is the way!" in your sig. Mandalorian? Good series.

I very like icons like Artwork or Data - kinda realistic picture - quite contrary to these silly monochrome icons ...

Great composition @CharlesV!

I've come back around to Obsidian as well, like many I overdid Faenza very badly in the 2010's but Obsidian is one of the few non-flat themes that doesn't go to steampunk extremes or Windows 7 Aero glass-everywhere dated looks..

Glad they are a hit. Yes, The Mandalorian was excellent.. and since I do believe linux is the way forward... seemed like the perfect tag line :-)

Glad you like them! I have always run some custom folders, my full set looks like this

Thanks! ya, I liked Faenza icons, but I think Obsidian is a little more subtle and yet has a great look about it I am definitely not a flat icon person ;-p ... all this horsepower in a graphics card and then flat? I prefer some depth.

lol.. Flat has its place :-)... just not on my desktop

OK, what I hope to be the "final" Piranha theme submission for MX25

The regular Piranha v3 theme:
Updated Piranha theme for submission to MX25
- Piranha v3
- Added prelights
- Mods to some icons
- Modifed borders to larger grab surfaces
- Cleaned up and adjusted some lines

Piranha v3

And the new Piranha HiRes theme ( geared more for hidpi and 4K systems) :
- Created the Piranha-HiRes version
- Decreased HiRes Version Height and Icons for more streamline look (closer to lower res version)
- Polished some HiRes areas

Piranha-HiRes v3

To maximize colors and viewing, install the Obisidian-Aqua icons!

To install this theme, extract the Piranha folder,
copy the Piranha folder to your /usr/share/themes folder
( you will need to use sudo ),
and then use MX tweak to choose and apply it.


Some screenshots of how it should look:

I was so excited to try it out ...

I searched for Obsidian-Aqua icons, but didn't find some ...
I installed both Piranha-themes, but MX-Tweak didn't show them ... but then I looked into a Piranha-archive and discovered "xfwm4" - Oups, possibly not usable with kde?
