I respect this professional project and wish it more success
I have a note in some icons that it is disappointing and bad in terms of appearance, colors. I wish to make a greater effort to improve it
This is a list most icons required to change it from my point of view..

Hi, @ramzydoni .
What do you propose? Can you show us any new icon redesign you made? ;)

[azadaquib]

@ramzydoni appearance can be subjective. But you can always raise a request to redesign things. I am up for some redesigning of icons that are not ageing gracefully.

About the colours we might have a palette change sometime in future. But for such a large project it might be a little time consuming.

Rest assured that we are working to make the project better each day :)

[ramzydoni]

jEsuSdA sorry I am not a designer of icons
but I would help if necessary
This simple suggestion is a usb icon

Sometimes you can only change the appropriate color ..

[varlesh]

I don't like this icons... ouh :)
Please fork and draw better.

[varlesh]

We not draw only circle or square icons.
Main HIG it's:

• warm color tone
• layering style (moving dark to light)
• light up stroke (10/20%) and down shadow (20&)
• pixel align
• mainly single size
• solid color filling (no gradients, no long shadow, no blur, no transparent, no glow effect)

[ramzydoni]

varlesh! xd First I'm not a designer
2- This icon i am not designed I just changed the color :D

[varlesh]

and what you want change?

[ramzydoni]

Why not? The proposal is only for a designer

[varlesh]

Ok... Moving on the list
popcorntime
what you don't like on this icon?

[ramzydoni]

icon update also need to improve

[varlesh]

it's all?
Original:

Papirus:

your suggestions?

[ramzydoni]

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/snwh/paper-icon-theme/master/Paper/512x512%402x/apps/popcorn-time.png

just like paper is great !

[varlesh]

But why you not use Paper if you like Paper?
I don't like this icon, because this icon have strange blue layer on background (maybe it's seat, i don't know)

[varlesh]

Also light-beige color (popcorn) and white (on the box) merged with little icon size. It's spoil perception

[ramzydoni]

I dont like paper icon is poor
papirus better than all icon but only this icon I liked
Can also delete blue background ?

[varlesh]

yes you can, SVG-sources available:
https://github.com/snwh/paper-icon-theme/blob/master/src/bitmaps/apps/popcorn-time.svg

[ramzydoni]

OK very good
In short these icons can only be modified

[varlesh]

system-software-update and grsync updated:
https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/commit/824cd8c912f57b069da72cfebc0ff121065922f5?short_path=7d938b9#diff-7d938b9ca5c8aca6843e2fdf38a3b55b

[varlesh]

I don't know what you want change colors on this icons. All icons use warm tone and looks good... Maybe application-x-fictionbook need redesign (increase and remove some lines) Also not forgot, archive color (you don't like green?) icon used for mimes and this icons need change too.
For system-software-update and grsync i'm change only icon size (because visual icon have little size, but really size 40px). Colors not changed. Yellow and black - it's good combination.

[varlesh]

If you really have idea, enhancement or want change style, color or etc.. PR's welcome!!!
draw/change icon on inkscape/gimp and show what you like

[varlesh]

Sorry, we will not consider request "i don't like this icon - draw better". Need specific ideas and comments or mockups or preview

[ramzydoni]

Some color icons are uncomfortable for the eye like the winrar
Green in this case the color is bad

[ramzydoni]

I just wanted to make the best of these suggestions. I might be wrong

[varlesh]

Ok we will decide change color for archive or not
@jEsuSdA @azadaquib @SmartFinn what you think?

[ramzydoni]

Yes color change would be better archive

[SmartFinn]

I like the green. Previously I used Faenza icons where archives are green too. I don't like the Paper color, nor the Numix color for archives.

Paper color

Numix color

Papirus (a little darker)

[ramzydoni]

The green problem is uncomfortable for the eye
Why not try the color of numix i think it good?

[varlesh]

I agree with @SmartFinn Paper icon faded and for light GTK Themes not good looking.
Like this or

this

Initialy Papirus create for KDE and main archive app Ark use beige-brown color, maybe it's better variant:

[jEsuSdA]

I prefer green too.
@ramzydoni, I think that if you want to do changes, please DO THEM. Saying to others doing changes it is not the same to do the work. As Linus Torvalds says when anyone suggest a change in the Linux kernel: "show me the code".

[SmartFinn]

The brown color looks very poor with compared to more colorful icons

[varlesh]

ok, use darker green

[varlesh]

[ramzydoni]

jEsuSdA Next time I will design some icon
  And put it in the group

[ramzydoni]

thanks for listening all
  That 's my mistake. I did not explain much how the icons look
