plank VS papirus-icon-theme

For the dock, I use Plank and assign it as a startup application

Hello, backend dev here. I want to build some very specific gui stuff for linux desktop and i am confused. Let me first tell you what I want to build. Then I will explain my confusion. So I want to build something like https://github.com/ricotz/plank and https://github.com/xfce-mirror/xfce4-panel. It is not supposed to be cross platform, specifically for linux x86 64 bit. For Xorg specifically.

So I am thinking about some sort of application, that does it and is fullscreen and borderless by default. Both these apps cannot be seperate windows.

I think OP is using Plank Dock at the right side and Clear Sans as UI font. The icon pack theme seems to be Papirus. I couldn't guess the GTK theme tho

Plank is what I use for GTK

Resources of code that ought to work? https://github.com/ricotz/plank/tree/wip/indicator-style https://github.com/tatou-tatou/dotfiles/blob/master/Sources/plank-indicator.patch

Dock: Plank

Maybe something like Plank dock. It sounds like it will do what you describe with the pinned launch icons that are grouped together. It also has optional "docklets" for standard panel functions (application menu, show desktop, clock, trash, battery, clipboard, cpu monitor) so it can replace a traditional panel. It should be in most popular distro repos.

Plank is a nice dock that works well with XFCE.

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.
