This repository powers the generation of the all the Numix app icon themes across all platforms. This new method is designed to make keeping themes on different platforms on feature parity easier as well as making it as simple as possible to add support for new platforms. Licensed under the GPL-3.0+ and maintained by @palob.
This repo contains the artwork used for the Numix icon themes, split into the vibrant themes (Circle and Square) and the mono themes (uTouch and Shine). Only the Circle and Square vibrant themes are currently maintained but this script can build all.
Please report icon requests in this repo using the appropriate issue template or read this page for more information.
We accept contributions, read this page for more info. If you're interested in taking up maintenance of an unmaintained theme then get in touch.
To deal with hardcoded application icons Numix uses the hardcode-fixer script. A list of the applications supported by the script can be found here.
This repo also contains gen.py, the code used for building the icon themes. The Linux themes in particular are then packaged using this script into Circle and Square.
The script needs Python 3.x to run. While the script can build themes for many platforms, running it is only officially supported on Linux. The exporting-to-PNG part of the script currently uses Cairo or Inkscape. The macOS packaging needs libicns for the png2icns command. More information can be found in our wiki.
