Post your favorite icon pack / cursor / theme for your DE

I use the default breeze light on plasma. Most themes are broken or just too much. Breeze is great

• Icon theme : Papirus

• Shell and GTK theme : Yaru Dark ( the ubuntu darkmode one )

For cursors, i use the default Adwaita. Even though i shifted from ubuntu to arch 7 years ago, i always liked the orangish theme of ubuntu.

I used to be really into theming. But now, the default Breeze and Adwaita look good enough that I haven't bothered wanting to change them in a couple years.

That and thmes always appeared to be some degree of "broken" that I just don't bother anymore.

I do always change the cursor to the black Adwaita one, even on KDE. It just feels right to me.

When I did still use themes, Numix, Arc Dark, and whatever "flat" themes that I could find were my favorites.

I use bibata modern cursor + papirus icon theme

• Papirus Icon Theme (Dark)
• Bibata Cursor theme (Modern Ice)
• Materia GTK Theme (Dark-compact)

Adapta-gtk with Papirus icons, because i like clear lines and less optical clutter.

I would like Materia too, but that goes actively against my choice to have some transparency in Whiskermenu.

Icon theme : Papirus Theme: Catppuccin Macchiato Cursor: Catppuccin Dark

As you can see I enjoy the catppuccin colorscheme for its variety.

I'm using EndeavourOS XFCE, but with two things on top:

• Nightfox Dusk BL GTK theme
• Tela Purple Dark icon theme

I think these two work really well together

I used the Sweet-KDE color scheme for years on KDE Plasma, but recently I've been converting everything to Catppuccin Macchiato. Default icons and cursors.

Numix icon theme Catppuccin for GTK Apple Cursor

Buuf cursor https://store.kde.org/p/1249129/ because I like a cursor that is good looking and easy to see (unlike the default camouflaged dark cursor) and it fits with Buuf icons https://store.kde.org/p/1305826/

I'm using a dark Kvantum theme that I customized with dark red highlights.

KDE Plasma 5

• Global theme: Win7OS
• App style: Oxygen
• GTK theme: Windows10
• Colours: Win7OS
• Window Decorations: Expose Air
• Fixed font: MesloLGS Nerd Font 10pt
• Icons: Windows 7 Ultimate 7600

Good standard layout. None of that panel on the left nonsense.

Dracula for shell/wm theme and papirus-dark for icons

Theme: depends. I'm rocking Gnome on my laptop, so something like Otis looks good in it. Kripton or Jasper (what I typically use in XFCE) also look nice regardless of DE IMO. Just depends, but mostly, it's a dark theme so my already meh eyes are spared a flashbang. Very original, I know.

Icons: Gruvbox Plus. Dunno, just always kinda feel it. Guess I like the designs? Also love me some Win10Sur and Reversal Icons.

Cursor: Bibata, typically. Oreo Cursors, if i feel like adding more pazazz and color...which is most of the time, honestly (also helps make my mouse easy to find. Not that my desktop is cluttered it's just nice to immededly know where it's at with a glance).

I just use the papirus icon theme and the rest is pretty much stock. Breeze dark and the white kde plasma cursor theme. I cannot live without white cursors! I also like the new Linux Mint cursor theme a lot tho. Those are some chonky boys.

For Gnome I use adw-gtk3 on automatic day/night switching because it makes everything look nice and uniform.

I prefer Tela icons to Papirus as they're less cartoony.

I really like the Mint Y icons, they're kinda round with soft colours.

I like the Kora icon pack.

Shameless self promotion, I made my own cursor pack. It's Splatoon-themed. https://www.pling.com/p/2040163/

Dracula.

I use Plasma with Breeze Dark theme and icons and adwaita cursors. Boring but works for me.

Nordic dark curser, and compact dark breeze on sway wm

KDE Theme: Pitch Black

Icons: Korla

@krash Stormtrooper

De: KDE Plasma Theme: Breeze AlphaBlack Cursors: BreezeX Black

Theme: any Nordic dark theme Icons: Papirus, it just can’t be beat Cursor: Do people actually care enough to change it? They’re all kinda same-y

• theme: yaru
• cursor: quintom snow

I can't remember my icon pack rn, but I use and love the cursor pack from Mint as I am not a huge fan of the mouse stem. (The one from Peepin is also really great)

Icons: Tela Dark

Cursors: default Gnome

Theme: default Adwaita dark theme

Dark breeze. I'm actively searching for icon alternatives but they are not well integrated with system-color-accent.

Not an icon theme exactly, but Milosz Wlazlo's Basket Monsters, which I originally picked up off kdelook sometime around 2007, are old friends that I use to represent my machine's various hard drives. I just find them amusing, I guess.

The default breeze-dark is good enough for me with papirus dark icons and breeze-neutralcursors.

Edit: oh also I change the accent color to #cc8899 and the window decorations to just the x to close. I use gestures to interact with windows.

• Colloid GTK Theme (Colloid-Dark)
• Papirus (Papirus-Dark)
• Adwaita Cursor Theme

I used the Equilux GTK theme for years but it's been abandoned since 2018 and GNOME has changed a lot since then. I switched to Colloid and it didn't take much to tweak it to my liking, mainly reducing the size of the titlebar and panel.

. I frequently swap between XFCE and Gnome, and it works very nicely on both. I like the big square window buttons, like how windows does it, because it makes it easier to click rather then a small circle like most themes. Also I just like the look better.

Bonny-global

Xfce with desert teal blue. Icons is Moka Icon theme.

The only correct answer is Qogir Dark with Papirus Icon Theme and breeze cursors
