ePapirus is a special theme for elementary OS. Didn't know it. But where is the special version for MX. Perhaps mxPapirus. No information about such things.

I can say (as an ePapirus user) that there is a difference between regular Papirus and ePapirus (slight but to me significant). I think you might have to create the mxPapirus version

Apparently the Adapta and Adapta Nokto variants have been removed.

I actually don't know why MX would require a unique set of icons but if you do...why don't you simply fork Papirus and make the mix? I doubt anyone would complain. If that's too much, why not just provide the Papirus folks with whatever icons you believe are required and missing for MX in the standard Papirus package..

Posted: **Fri Feb 15, 2019 7:54 pm**

@manyroads, For more uniformity in the MX tools if papirus icons are applied.

But I knew the adapta folder removal was coming. This was on the wake of adapta theme being discontinued upstream. But I'm not ready to let it go yet.

The papirus Devs added a colour change script and have also linked up their icon set to the latest oomox but it's less convenient if all you want is the adapta folder colour. I think I'll rename the adapta folder variant to preserve it.

Papirus is default icon set of MX and if it can get tailored and customized for better look on MX I don't see a problem. I just started learning about graphic design but I'll try to help.

I added some of the instructions and examples to papirus-folders' description, so you can see those with

Code: Select all

apt show papirus-folders

or Synaptic. There's also "papirus-folders -h", but that's not as easy to copy and paste into a command.

The package is now in the main repo.

Yeah, updated papirus from Test Repo. No real change that I can see except for Alternatives Configurator getting a nice icon.

But there is now a whole lot of other folder colours, which can be used in place of the default blue using the papirus-folders script (which is already in main repo).

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2019 5:03 am**

I was reading through this thread and got the impression that you didn't really understand what are you discussing in here.
The inconsistent look of MX is NOT the result of missing Papirus icons or a need for MX-Papirus. The problem is MX itself.
How can you expect MX looks 'good' (== consistent) as long as there is somebody proudly presenting something like:
https://mxlinux.org/official-icons/

Speaking about 'Papirus missing icons', take a look here:
https://tgce.pixieset.com/g/

Also, look carefully at the very last slide. You'll see the icons presently used vs. Papirus icons included but NOT used!
OK, I modified a few of the icons, but there is a matching icon even without modifications, just not as suitable.

With other words, everything needed to get MX consistent looks is already included in Papirus. The only thing missing is a will to change it and some understanding of UI/UX and Graphics Design. One person who knows what it's doin' has to sit down and do the job. Just, there's no such person.
Additionally, ther's no will to make it look 'better' (== more consistent).

For the end, to make it clear with 'good' & 'bad' look, I'm not discussing 'like' & 'dislike' -- that's a matter of taste or lack of it -- personal preference.
I'm writing here about 'consistent' (== good) vs. 'inconsistent' (== bad) looks. Consistency is not a matter of taste but style (== 'Design Language').

Not quite true. The Art Team is in the process of determining what direction to take as far as overall look of the icons to make them more consistent. This was partially spurred by your suggestion.

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2019 5:57 am**

This was always on the to-do list. But there were other things to be done before we got to the issue of aesthetics, like sorting out the MX18 Manual and the new website. As volunteers, we do have to prioritise our time spent on MX matters. Aesthetics must come only after more substantive projects. But it is in the queue.

I started the discussion in the Dev Team non-public forum before you posted your screenshots as your 1st and 2nd posts on this forum. But I appreciate your suggestions and your interest.

Welcome to the forum.

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2019 6:26 am**

@ richb: The process of determining is all good and well, but in the meanwhile, and since you are currently using Papirus, use Papirus consequently.
All needed icons are already included in Papirus icon set and if you wan't it even better, you rework a couple of them as I did.

@ FEHLix: Cry baby, cry -- but please, please STOP COMPLAINING if you have no idea what are you discussing and with whom.
You saw the Gallery and you see the solution. This is not a proposal, but a minimum needed to make MX looks consistent.

@ asqwerth: Yeah, continue discussion and philosophizing about "I don't mind using a few, as long as there are no copyright issues, since we don't know him". Papirus is free to use and open source. Making sim-links and fixing your .desktop files shouldn't have any serious copyright issues. I also don't think that the Papirus author would really mind taking 'Papirus 1' and 'Paprirus 2' icon to produce 'Papirus 3', but if that's your concern, one could easily: 1. ask the author; 2. use only the original Papirus, completely without my moded Papirus icons and it would still look much more 'finished' then it is currently.

And now, please don't try some: "Not true that nobody cares, just a question of limited time and personnel." since:
"That's why I played that 'personel', took myself some time and fixed it for you, in a professional manner ...

Nice. Can you send a script or a package to install your solution. That would be really kind of you.

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2019 6:54 am**

@ richb:

Did you understand me correctly?

I never said somethin' like: Use Papirus. I've said: Use whatever you use, but use it CONSEQUENTLY. There is nothing to be discussed on that matter.
That should have been done long time ago, in that moment when the very first release ever came out.

The point is, using Adwaita/Gnome/Hicolor or Papirus is a matter of taste. Using an icon set consequently is NOT.

If you would be consequently using Adwaita/Gnome/Hicolor, MX would look 1997, but it would look good (because consequent).
If you would be consequently using Papirus, MX would look more 'modern', but it would look good (because consequent).

If you would be using Adwaita/Gnome/Hicolor or Papirus and then also include/use this:
https://mxlinux.org/official-icons/
, then MX would look bad (because inconsequent), as it is currently.

'Evaluating the best approach' is the best excuse you can bring for not understanding the basics of UI/UX and 'Design Language'?

@ fehlix:

That's what I did in January. I could only try to resend it to somebody who'll appreciate it, repackage it and (finally) roll it out as update.

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2019 7:18 am**

I fully understand. This discussion is leading nowhere. We are not on the same page obviously. We will proceed as we see fit without the acrimony you seem to adopt.

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2019 8:56 am**

@ richb:

It's your good right to name it and see it however you want and then, there are a couple of facts.

We've got some 1000 Linux Distributions (300+), but one can hardly find a hand full of working ones and exactly one that one could recommend, without feeling guilty, when something goes wrong.

Then about me, I use computers since 1981 and have many years of helping others behind me as well as pretty good UI/UX knowledge. I'm not discussing here about what I (dis~)like', but what's 'it must be' because of certain rules (called Standards or Norms), which are results of studies done by many researchers over many years and in different fields.

And then, there is MX itself. If you would be the Nr. 1001 on DistroWatch or if I wouldn't appreciate your Distribution, I probably wouldn't bother, but -- you're soon to be Nr. 1 and it's really sad to see the Nr. 1 looks like sh ... hhhhhhhhhh.

The worst of all that, all those UI/UX issues could be fixed in a day (or three), but no, people rather continue discussions until MX 29 is out, instead applying (what they have) the (good) solution laying in the mailbox and then start searching (and discussing) for even better one.

It's not that hard to reconfigure Whisker and the toolbar and fix that 'icons inconsistency looks' and make MX look like Nr. 1 too.

I could also resend you my files again if they got lost from whatever reason. It's a simple matter of will to fix it on your side.

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2019 9:01 am**

It seems you have good ideas and at the same time I understand asqwerth and the others, they have so little time.
I hope you'll soon find a way to work together to improve what can be done.

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2019 9:10 am**

I have the files, all versions, no need to resend.

We appreciate your attention to this matter, and take the question seriously. No changes happen here without careful evaluation from many sides, and that doesn't happen in a couple of days. But we are committed to having a new set ready for the next release of MX and hope to be able to work in a positive atmosphere with you and other users.

Posted: **Fri Sep 20, 2019 10:25 am**

While browsing Gnome look I noticed some interesting new features in Papirus for us MX people.

Added distributor logos (thx to @creepertron95):
Absolute Linux, Alpine Linux, Android, ArchBang, AryaLinux, Condres OS, Crux Linux, Devuan, Knoppix, MX Linux

- Added symlinks for apps of MX Linux

I also noticed that first MX 19 beta used more recent Papirus release than the second beta.

Posted: **Fri Sep 20, 2019 10:28 am**

Are you sure? Which were the things/icons that were older in the second beta?

First beta used Papirus release from July, second beta from February. For example, this is old Transmission icon as seen in beta 2:

And this is the new one from beta 1:

Posted: **Fri Sep 20, 2019 5:12 pm**

Odd, since both betas should be using Buster's papirus theme: https://packages.debian.org/buster/papirus-icon-theme

Posted: **Sat Sep 21, 2019 2:23 pm**

Here are the latest versions from upstream Debian for MX 15-19, from 17 August. One nice thing is that they now only take up 129 MB installed--I remember the first version we added to the repo taking up almost 300 MB when installed, and it took a very long time on slower machines.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=18hwae ... -auwV_kKoj

If they look OK, we can put them directly in the main repo.

Posted: **Sat Sep 21, 2019 6:23 pm**

I'm away from my computer for the next few days.

Could someone check the mx19 beta 2.1 , see if the new papirus set takes over and replaces all the new MX icons with their own (usually more generic, if symlinks are used) icons?

Posted: **Sat Sep 21, 2019 7:05 pm**

I'll take a look before I leave tomorrow

Downloaded, extracted, clicked on the deb, went to pour a drink while it got itself in order, installed.

Is the Papirus-Adapta variant not bundled anymore ? i noticed it's absent from MX19.

Posted: **Sun Sep 22, 2019 4:04 am**

It's been removed upstream. Essentially the dev of adapta gtk theme totally changed his adapta look and colors at one point without warning (if you were on a rolling distro or were using Papirus from AUR, you might install your updates and suddenly find yourself on a completely different looking theme: Dark blacks, normal blues instead of cyan, curved capsule ends for text fields). There was a big hooha about it because everyone loved the original adapta. Papirus devs then announced that they would no longer link or tie their icon theme to a particular gtk theme. They issued an update to remove their adapta variant folders.

Now, If you want the adapta folder colour, use Papirus' own folder colour changing script to change your folders to cyan.

Then the adapta dev got a bit upset that no one appreciated his new adapta theme. He reverted his changes but announced it is frozen and no longer maintained. His new adapta was renamed Plata.

So, be careful what you wish : papirus updates means no adapta folders.

The situation wrt themes isn't any better under GTK3, it seems.

indeed:

Code: Select all

but this is on MX17/stretch, on MX19/buster papirus-folders is not available anymore

GTK 3.xx is GNOME Tool Kit.
Previous releases were GIMP Tool Kit 1 and 2.

Breaking themes with each new release is done on purpose, the intent is to prevent theming GNOME to protect the 'brand', making GNOME easily recognized by it always being the same. This is also why the name of the GNOME icon set is a Sanskrit word which means the only one. Expect new GTK releases to break all themes built against earlier GTK versions, except theirs. This is readily proven from their own team emails and blogs.

The leading GNOME developers are Red Hat employees, it is their product and they do not want you to tamper with it.

They do not care about breaking anything for anyone using GTK3 for any other DE, as one of their lead developers said 'What's Xfce?'.

Seems it doesn't work on MX 19, on MX 18 it looks like this:

edit

It works on MX 19 but only when MX Tools are opened, when viewed from Whisker menu icons are not updated.

Posted: **Mon Sep 23, 2019 8:31 am**

For MX19, as we created some new icons, we also changed the name of some of the icon files that the MX app in question would look for (in their .desktop file). As MX19 has not been released, Papirus are working on the old MX18 icon filenames referenced in the desktop files. So those that hadn't changed icon filename, will show their papirus icons. Those that changed filename, will show our new icons.

As for why their set does not show up in whisker menu, maybe they didn't symlink the icon graphics to some of the smaller-sized icon sub-folders. Luckily in MX19 our updated icons will show up as the fallback for papirus icons, instead of our older icons.

Buster-backports has also been updating the icon package fairly often, but right now they are a month behind.

The update for MX17/18 is very nice, except for the MX-updater application icon in whisker menu (not the notification area) . This uses the papirus theme's icon called "mnotify-some" , which doesn't really match the look of our notification icon.

That was because in our MX17/18 version of apt-notifier, the icon assigned to this app was our original version of "mnotify-some" . At that time, Papirus did not have their own version of mnotify-some, so the app always defaulted to our original icon, ie the greenfilled box.

When Papirus devs decided to create their own icons for MX just before MX19 was released, they made their version of mnotify-some in their house style at that time, which was a blue dot for "updates available". I requested a change to ensure consistency in appearance. They kindly made greenfilled box icons for us under the name "mx-updater" (which we used for MX19) but declined to remove the house style mnotify-some icon just in case some users wanted to have both the app and notification icon use their blue dot style (they provide a script on their github page to remove hardcoding of notification area icons).

MX19's mx-updater/apt-notifier's desktop file uses "mx-updater" icon, but the mx17/18 version of the app was never changed from

Code: Select all

Icon=mnotify-some

.

Could the mx17/18 apt-notifier app be changed just to assign the correct icon to it? Otherwise if you update to the latest papirus set, you get that weird difference in the notification and app icons.
