[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.

I am unfamiliar with icon themes in Linux, what needs to be installed to use this? It relies on something in the KDE desktop?

Nothing 🪄

It just works. I put a ton of work making sure it just works. I even exported my theme in different coloured variants so people don’t have to try and mess with icons to get them how they want.

At least in KDE for the accents. The rest follows the open desktop standard so it should be pretty universal.

I also made sure to include “symbolic” versions to improve functionality on Ubuntu, though I’ve yet to try it on Ubuntu….

I haven't bothered with icon theming, but I think icons are pretty much universally compatible.

On kde plasma and some other desktops you can change the icons in settings. If your de doesn't have that option, there should be (more or less janky) workarounds for that. Look up how to do that for your specific de.
