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.

I use the default breeze light on plasma. Most themes are broken or just too much. Breeze is great

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 miss when Ubuntu was brown.

Icon theme : Papirus Theme: Catppuccin Macchiato Cursor: Catppuccin Dark
As you can see I enjoy the catppuccin colorscheme for its variety.

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
- MonkderZweite ( @MonkderZweite@feddit.ch ) 4•1 year ago
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.

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.
- quantenzitrone ( @quantenzitrone@feddit.de ) 4•1 year ago
- Papirus Icon Theme (Dark)
- Bibata Cursor theme (Modern Ice)
- Materia GTK Theme (Dark-compact)
- Fleppensteyn ( @Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl ) English3•1 year ago
Buuf cursor https://store.kde.org/p/1249129/ because I like a cursor that is good looking and easy to see (unlike the default camouflaged dark cursor) and it fits with Buuf icons https://store.kde.org/p/1305826/
I’m using a dark Kvantum theme that I customized with dark red highlights.

That almost makes me want to try KDE again.

Dracula.
- beSyl ( @beSyl@slrpnk.net ) 0•1 year ago
I would like to try out Dracula pro, but it is behind a pay wall ://… There should be a demo.
- slacktoid ( @slacktoid@lemmy.ml ) English0•1 year ago
yeah, its at least only a one-time payment (considering how much i have used the colorscheme i dont mind), plan to pick it up during cybermonday one day. I would assume there is no way to enforce the demo (likely no DRM which is also good)
- beSyl ( @beSyl@slrpnk.net ) 0•1 year ago
Yes, and I am not against paying for the work of others, of course. Though I do find the theme a bit too expensive and am out of funds right now. Perhaps in the future. Though I have tried many themes in the past and ended up not liking theme. Paying for a theme and then not liking/using it is a bit… Hard to swallow…
But yes, it is a one time payment. Can you imagine if even themes start being subscription based? 5usd/month to use a fucking theme… We are not that far off hahah
- slacktoid ( @slacktoid@lemmy.ml ) English0•1 year ago
yeah, that i understand. am there too hence why I havent bought it yet, it’s hard to justify a color palette when there are more pressing uses for your money. If and when I do buy the pro theme it would be more to support the creator than for the pro color scheme [a thank you for the long years of use], that way cant be upset if i dont like it :D
RIGHT! that would be insane, with [traditional] subscriptions I could stomach it if creators were getting paid instead of some corporate jackoff buying another yatch.
- Holzkohlen ( @Holzkohlen@feddit.de ) 2•1 year ago
I just use the papirus icon theme and the rest is pretty much stock. Breeze dark and the white kde plasma cursor theme. I cannot live without white cursors! I also like the new Linux Mint cursor theme a lot tho. Those are some chonky boys.
- Turtle ( @Turtle@aussie.zone ) 2•1 year ago
I really like the Mint Y icons, they’re kinda round with soft colours.
- squid ( @squid@feddit.uk ) 2•1 year ago
Nordic dark curser, and compact dark breeze on sway wm
- aleph ( @aleph@lemm.ee ) English2•1 year ago
For Gnome I use adw-gtk3 on automatic day/night switching because it makes everything look nice and uniform.
I prefer Tela icons to Papirus as they’re less cartoony.
- MrBubbles96 ( @MrBubbles96@lemmy.ml ) English2•1 year ago
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).
