I have basically combined the App and Mimetype icons of Colloid, the symbolic icons of Papirus and the Folder Icons of Zorin into one theme, I present to you Uniformity.

But this is not just a simple copy paste, here’s what I changed.

  1. Adapted the install script to this new structure so that it is easy to download themes with different folder colours.
  2. Recreated the Zorin folder theme is SVG and changed all the glyphs.
  3. Added over 40+ new app icons including a redesigned Flatseal Icon, Bazaar, Fragments, Eden, Musicbrainz and more.

I have made these and tested on Gnome only however they should work just fine with KDE as well. I would love for you to try it out and let me know what you’d like to see. I have laid down the groundworks for schemes which means you can adapt nord and catppuccin themes to this icon pack as well. The script works fairly well execpt the -t all flag seems to be a bit broken so I suggest installing colours individually.

    By that do you mean how to set icons for certain folders irrespective of theme? You need to use the gio command

    gio set folder-name metadata::custom-icon-name icon-name

# In your case it would be something like
gio set Games/ metadata::custom-icon-name folder-games

    Not only does this make it so that no matter what icon theme you use the icon will change according to the theme, but you also do not have to go icon hunting in a bunch of directories.

    Edit: I just saw that you meant using XDG catergories, maybe the gio command can still help? I mean you could theoretically change any metadata field so maybe that helps.
