[Reposted because I got the title wrong]

So as the title explains, while this theme may be visually similar to others, it completely changes colours to match your user accent colour (I also have versions for text colour and solid colours because I could).

I wanted a theme where I could see my colours everywhere, so I made one. (Other reasons too, but this is the most important).

I’ve also made a bunch of playful little changes to help with accessibility like reworking the settings icons.

All icons are SVG files, single layer (a few exceptions), and have been simplified to load faster.

I hope you all enjoy it.

I will be regularly updating it to add more app icons and new actions/ icons as they show up in updates.

So I recently redid a full system icon pack based on/ using the open source material design icons from google. I wanted to have an icon pack that could completely adapt my whole system to any colour I wanted, and ended up having to make my own.

I shared this recently here.

I’m releasing it very soon, and would love some ideas or tips I should consider in the last moments before I submit the finished first release?

So far I know I need many more app icons, but other than that would love some ideas/ tips. Thanks.

(I’d love a list of app names I need to name the app icons to so they automatically apply.)

So for the better part of the month I’ve been nose glued to my laptab working a custom icon set. It started as just some custom folders… but ended up becoming me redoing the entire breeze theme. I’m talking thousands of icons.

I based the theme on the google material design as I haven’t seen a proper full system theming for that, and for accessibility reasons alone I think it needs to exist… but I mainly wanted to do it like that so I can have EVERYTHING change with the system accent colour.

So after likely over a hundred (hundreds of?) hours, I’m reaching the finish line.

Anyway for selfish and selfless reasons I want to be able to have my theme reach as many people as possible. Some people in my life have suggested I contact some Linux news sites, but that feels a bit much, I don’t know. Any ideas?

Oh yah it’s free of course.

For transparency this was made with an AI.

I took the dive into Linux gaming at the start of the year and never switched back to windows. It’s so much better for everything and Steams work on big picture has let me turn my PC into the Linux console of my dreams since the steam machine vaporware days.

Additionally the ease of use of using Linux vs windows for gaming has gotten me to start using my pc for local coop a lot more. I’ve had so much more success using multiple controllers with Linux than windows.

My biggest worry, like anyone’s, was that I would feel limited by the games I can play. I’ve honestly started to try even more games since I’ve had better experiences with switch emulators on Linux (Yuzu my baby). Sometimes a newer game won’t let me use the latest version of DLSS my GPU supports but that doesn’t make a game unplayable, I just don’t get max graphics/ performance.

The only game I can’t play is rocket league. But I can only blame Epic for actively breaking the game on Linux.

This is an idea I’ve been toying with for a bit. There is a ton of media that includes unimportant information that doesn’t need to be stored pixel perfect. Storing large portions of the image data as text will save substantial amounts of storage, and as the reality of on-device image generation becoming commonplace sets in digital memories will become the main way people capture the world around them. I think this will inevitably be the next form of media capture (photography and video), not replacing other methods/ formats, but I could see things like phone cameras having saving images as digital memories set to default to save on storage.

Just noticed while shopping today that Walmart locked up the family planning products. This includes pregnancy tests which I think should not have another barrier to getting them. The same with birth control like condoms. I really doubt a lot of young couples are going to want to get staff to help them access such personal things like condoms and lube.

I'm running nvidia driver version 530 and in the pop shop there is an "update" for nvidia driver version 525. I'd rather not downgrade, but I am not sure if the pop shop will show me newer drivers until I install 525. Anyone know?
