Papirus-icon-theme: Calibre Icon pack

[meetdilip]

I am using Calibre and the icons used inside are pretty dull. Would it be possible to have an icon theme for the same. Maybe, as a part of Paipirus itself ?

[varlesh]

it's hardcoded or have option for change icon theme?

[meetdilip]

I am not sure. Where can we see that ?

[varlesh]

I don't know, i'm not use this app, maybe on preferences.

@meetdilip To begin with you can try if you find the icons somewhere, maybe in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/ or /usr/share/pixmaps or somewhere else in /usr(/local)/share/.

Papirus icons are pretty awesome, and as a heavy user of calibre I love the idea of having those awesome icons there as well!! The icons are not hard coded in calibre and there are a few themes out there. Here's more information and here for more info on creating an iconset.

[palob]

That is actually hardcoded. You can change the theme but it doesn't pickup the icons from the system theme.

In that case could it be possible to create a separate icon set for Calibre as has been done for LibreOffice?
I too am a huge Papirus fan and recently started using Calibre and it could really use some love from Papirus.

[palob]

Yes, as you can see from @fawix post.

Currently Calibre default theme has about 225 icons, I don't know if there exist equivalent one in Papirus in order to create a theme for Calibre.

@morealaz Shall we create a new repo. Most icons can be copied as is. Set some milestones and we can finish in a month if things go good... :)

[azadaquib]

@morealaz Sure. Why not :)
