Let’s be honest, the rankings of gnome-look are weird at best and there is no good resource to gauge what icons / cursors / themes people like to use in their everyday DE.

So please share what icon-pack / cursor theme / GTK|QT theme you use, and why.

    • 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.

    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 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.

    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

    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.

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

    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).
