I hope these two are useful to you: Sweet theme Candy Icons
I started my journey away from Windows with Pop back in May 2020 (last screenshot) and switched to Arch after 6 months to get more familiar with Linux. Faced challenges and learned a lot. Now, as a professional 3D artist, I return to Pop OS for stability—full circle after 3 years!

The GTK (Applications theme) and Shell theme are the Flat Remix theme by Daniruiz. The icon theme is Candy Icons by EliverLara. If you want to set it up exactly like mine, your Tweaks application setting should look like this.

Hi, I use Candy Icons and JetBrains Mono Nerd Font
No idea how to fix this

The author of that theme also does "sweet-mars' which is another take on the same general theme. The OP earlier mentioned that is what is being used (and one I've fallen in love with as well.) EliverLara also does the "candy-icons" set: https://github.com/EliverLara/candy-icons
[Question] Why is candy icons only loading for some apps?

I extracted candy icons to the usr share icons but it isn’t working for apps like Firefox, blender, gimp, etc.
Reupload because I am dumb and did not add links! Again, inspired by an earlier post with the clock.

Candy icons would look great with this theme. IDK it it has windows support though.

Hey, they work good with the candy icons : https://github.com/EliverLara/candy-icons
Possible to install KDE Candy Icons?
1 project | /r/MacOS | 19 May 2021

Is it possible to install KDE Candy Icons (https://github.com/EliverLara/candy-icons) on MacOS or easily customize the file icons? I really like the look and feel of KDE, and these icons are my favorite for the KDE desktop. It'd be nice if similar desktop customization existed for MacOS. So far I've failed to find any helpful documentation or discussions.

openbox "pcmanfm --desktop" glitch, does anybody know why this is happening?

So many GTK Desktop Environments, yet so little Qt ones

That's a stretch. One former LXDE contributor, LStranger, wanted to continue the GTK version. The entire remaining developer team (including the LXDE founder PCMan) was like "whatever floats your boat, man" and decided to split up the projects in a friendly manner. But let's be honest here: Barely anything happens at LXDE any longer. Just look at the core component, PCManFM that is both the file manager and the desktop shell: https://github.com/lxde/pcmanfm/commits/master
