Note
Icon pack lacks of linux repositories maintainers. If You want to become one please create a new issue or make a pull request.
Icons are available on OpenDesktop store. You can manually download the archive from there or install it directly from Your system's icon manager settings. For example in KDE, open System Settings -> Colors & Themes -> Icons and click "Get New..." where You can search for Gruvbox Plus icons.
Go to the releases page and choose the zip file from the latest version.
Unpack the archive and copy the content to the .local/share/icons directory.
cp -rv Gruvbox-Plus-Dark Gruvbox-Plus-Light ~/.local/share/icons
If You want the latest icons, You would have to clone the whole repository:
git clone https://github.com/SylEleuth/gruvbox-plus-icon-pack.git
and copy or soft link folders:
ln -s path/to/repository/Gruvbox-Plus-Dark ~/.local/share/icons/Gruvbox-Plus-Dark
ln -s path/to/repository/Gruvbox-Plus-Light ~/.local/share/icons/Gruvbox-Plus-Light
You could then just use
git pull
to download files added since the latest pull.
There are two available variants:
- Gruvbox Dark - light symbolic icons for dark themes
- Gruvbox Light - dark symbolic icons for light themes
If You are KDE Plasma user You can safely use Gruvbox Dark variant. Monochrome (symbolic) icons will change automatically depending on the color scheme.
There are 24 colors that You can choose from:
Plasma is a a special variant for KDE Plasma users. You can change color straight from System Settings: Colors & Themes -> Colors.
If You are using different Desktop Environment You can easily change the folder's color with special script
(thanks to akarzim). Script is located in the scripts folder
of the repository. You can download it from release page as a seperate file.
Change script's permission:
chmod +x folders-color-chooser.sh
then run it (it will work from any location, it doesn't have to be placed in icons directory):
./folders-color-chooser -c <color>
More details:
Usage:
folders-color-chooser [-c | --color=<color>] [-C | --reset-color]
folders-color-chooser [-h | --help]
folders-color-chooser [-l | --list]
Options:
-c, --color=<color> set the new folders color
-C, --reset-color reset folder color to plasma
-h, --help show this help
-l, --list list available colors
If You don't want to use the script, there is a folder called folders where You will find all color sets grouped separately. Just replace places/scalable directory with any chosen color.
If You'll find a missing icon please open a new issue and give as much information as You can:
