papirus-icon-theme VS inter

Use Papirus icons. Then you can use papirus folders. Papirus-folders is a bash script that allows changing the color of folders in Papirus icon theme and its forks. There are other icon themes which allow folder colour switches. Also there is no need for an extension, says the vanilla Gnome user 😉

Other editions of Solus use Papirus icons (https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/releases), and the Budgie project created its own menu icon recently: https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop/blob/main/data/icons/actions/budgie-menu-symbolic.svg

If you are unsure what to name the files, just check out /usr/share/icons/Adwaita and see what names it uses for the icons you wanna change. Or, if you wanna change more things - like application icons, etc - you can download a more robust icon theme like Papirus just to check the names it uses for what you wanna change.

An easier approach would be installing an icon theme like Papirus that already does it. 😉

I working with icons, currently Papirus and I have two questions.

I couldn't agree more. I've been using it as my go-to font for web development (which is its exact design purpose) for years. Nothing looks bad in Inter[0]. It's an easy win.

The best features for web dev are great readability across its variety of weights (0-900 in CSS) from a single font file, along with a huge set of glyphs, ligatures, special numbers, etc. if you want them.

Yeah no... macOS doesn't have a font that looks uncomfortably tall like that. Use Inter at 9pt font size if you really want the macOS look.

Now you also need to download and install 'Inter' font. Go here: https://rsms.me/inter/ And download it, install it. We will use it later.

It’d be nice if something like Inter[0], which is specifically designed for onscreen/UI usage, were bundled with each OS and could be assumed to be present, making it unnecessary to include Arial or Helvetica in one’s stack.

If you are really trying to mimic macOS then you should try Inter. Current version is 3.19 but the much improved version 4.0 is coming out very soon (you can download the latest beta here). This font is pretty much an open-source alternative to Apple's SF fonts and they render at the correct size on all platforms. With a little tweaking of the font rendering, you can make it look almost identical to macOS.
