They are… certainly icons. I can’t get any more excited than that I’m afraid
Seems kinda inconsistent. I’m seeing thin lines, thicc lines, flat, 3d, colored and monochrome all together
Jesus, it’s so inconsistent. I suppose that may be beneficial when looking at all of your folders at a bird’s eye view but my knee jerk reaction isn’t the most positive.
The icons don’t all speak the same language, true. Some are way more elaborate and detailed than others, which just makes them look off.
Maybe the library could be a single book instead of an entire bookshelf, for example?
This feels like a step back from what we currently have.
Looks good to me
I actually quite like the current breeze style with the sharper edges, it sets it apart from other designs.
Finally designers are realizing it’s not 2013 anymore and nobody liked the Win8 designed-in-powerpoint style.
Now KDE needs to implement a consistent design language for its apps, clean up its settings, and have better defaults. Not asking KDE to copy Gnome, just that it needs a lot more work to be palletable to someone using it for the first time.
TODO since KDE 3…
That looks… really inconsistent
- Why is the mac icon black while the rest aren’t?
- Why are the games/downloads icons offset while the rest aren’t?
- Why are some icons really minimalistic and some really detailed?
- Why do the colored folders have a line while the rest don’t?
- Why are java/android/deb/blender colored while the rest aren’t?
- And why is the black folder blue lol
IIRC they refined the Breeze icons over a LONG period of time to get them to the current state - I’m sure the same will be true here.
These are definitely an improvement over the current icons but while some of the design rules are evident, i think a bit of refining is in order.
The games and download folders both need a complete redesign as the ignore the design rules that the other folders use, and why are the symbols on each folder white except for the Mac folder?
Respectfully, I love how powerful KDE is but my god they can’t make things visually consistent to save their lives!
From inconsistent icons, to different KDE apps using wildly different design languages, to padding being inconsistent all throughout the DE and their apps, to fonts and their sizes kinda being all over the place
But at least a custom theme is trivial to install and solves most of it
Interesting. Even though I definitely have some mild form of OCD, I do not have single issue with Breeze defaults look.
