I created a flat, pastel-colored icon theme for Linux called Mignon!

[-]

SpecificMoment3095@reddit

For some reason some of the icons just dont appear for me, im on kde plasma.

[-]

kaipee@reddit

Some of those lightblue-on-white icons might be better on black for accessibility. But looks nice overall

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

I'll check that!

[-]

SleepyKatlyn@reddit

yeah, really like the design but as a colourblind person most of the lighter coloured icons are...near impossible for me to properly see, mainly firefox, discord and vscode.

I love the design and colours, just a little hard to read unfortunately :(

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm working on picking new colors that are better to see, and looking into colorblindness can also help

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

Yes, thanks!

I used A11Y check and the contrast ratio is abysmal, while using black it was AAA

[-]

abhinavbharadwajr@reddit

u/IgorFerreiraMoraes Are the icons adaptive to system theme (light / dark)? If not, can I have a dark theme of these icons?

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

Not yet, but the biggest suggestion here was to create light and dark versions, so it's comming!

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

Thankss

What's the optimal virtual machine in your experience? On Windows and thought I'd ask, new to this.

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

When I used Windows, I always used VirtualBox

[-]

Professional_Move160@reddit

Yeah I'm nervous about that, just got my computer back after a nasty mistake. I don't want to scramble the OS again trying Windows Subsystem.

Hmm...

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

I tested them on KDE, and it didn't work properly, sorry. I'll try to solve this, but I'm not sure

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

It means Cute in French, I'm studying the language and I took inspiration from Vue and Vite

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

It's a palette of dimmed pastel colors, there are themes that use these colors in pretty much all the code editors

https://github.com/nordtheme

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

Thanks!

[-]

Lazy-Necessary-1727@reddit

it kind of reminds me of the delta icon pack That's on Android

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

Yes, it is

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

I thought about it, right now I have 0 idea on how to publish an icon pack on Android, though.

[-]

coppolaemilio@reddit

Looks really cool! but it seems like you are using Godot's old logo, the new one doesn't have such a big jaw :)

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

You're right lol, he got orthognathic surgery!

[-]

Great-War3363@reddit

I LOVE it! I might actually apply it on my system if there's a dark theme for the icons.

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

A lot of comments were suggesting creating a separate dark theme, so that's on the radar!

[-]

Calrissiano@reddit

Looks amazing, I wish there was q regular colored version (same icons but not pastel).

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

A lot of comments were pointing out how the pastel colors don't have a great contrast, so I might create a regular one

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

I didn't have a brown color, and the yellow background was something I found fitting, but the poor otter got a little dirty

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

I'm very happy to read that, thanks!

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

Thank *you*, fellow blue reddit avatar!

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

Thanks

[-]

IrritatingBashterd@reddit

please share the icons in dark mode these look really cool to use

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

Yesss, everyone was saying this

[-]

Ornery_Platypus9863@reddit

If it was all dark and I used app icons I’d love it

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

Some people suggested having a light and a dark version and it sounds like a great idea!

[-]

oVerde@reddit

Beauty 👏🏻 great work and thanks, I’ll definitely use this

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

Thank you!

[-]

sl00pyb4n5@reddit

They look really nice, keep the good work.

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

Thanks a lott!

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

Happy to read that!

[-]

IcyTurambar@reddit

I know they're supposed to be flat, but these are way undersaturated.

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

That's the most common feedback I'm getting, so I guess I'm going to change the colors so they don't look so washed out. Thanks!

[-]

MatixFX@reddit

I really like it, but it looks bad on KDE.

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

I tested it and some programs simply turned transparent or used the symbolic icons, I will look deeper into it, but I don't understand exactly why it happens

[-]

DonutsMcKenzie@reddit

Looks nice. (But I don't like the lower jaw of the godot robot! lol)

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

Oh, the jaw is the same size as the upper part in the original lol

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

You're welcome!

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

Thank you!

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

I'm happy you liked it!

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

I'll try to adapt the palette! Pastel colors are already pretty soft/washed out and the contrast isn't great right now.

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

Thanks!!

[-]

Appreciate the effort, they look nice.
However can someone explain to me why everything needs to be flat nowadays?
I don’t think its wrong per se, but I feel we live in an age of monoculture, design wise. Boring. Where has the diversity gone?

[-]

shiq_A@reddit

what icon pack do you use then?

[-]

3dGrabber@reddit

Newaita

I would really like a BeOS inspired set

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

Wow, the BeOS icons are really cool!

[-]

SrHuev0n@reddit

Just a trend. But, like someone with vision problems, I prefer flat themes and icons, they are more easy to identify.

[-]

LORD_INFINITY12@reddit

Incredible

[-]

DisciplineNo5186@reddit

would love to use icon packs but the not supported icons look so out of place that i always keep going back to vanilla

[-]

BladeTushar@reddit

looks way minimal dude '🔥

[-]

_SuperStraight@reddit

They look washed out

[-]

tacoPW@reddit

You got downvoted but I also came here to say this. They'd be beautiful if the contrast wasn't so off.

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

Yeah, I agree that the contrast isn't enough in many of the icons. It's really hard to achieve that since pastel colors have a lot of white in them, so they are pale and not very saturated.

[-]

_SuperStraight@reddit

What those icons need are brush-stroke-on-canvas like look, something you see when closely looking at actual pictures.

[-]

Lawnmover_Man@reddit

That's the point.

[-]

Many_Nectarine_6122@reddit

I love it

[-]

Left_Revolution_3748@reddit

Is there a dark or black version of this icons

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

Some people suggested I keep different dark and light version, and that will be great because it depends a lot on the background for the icons to work well.

[-]

RoxyAndBlackie128@reddit

just keep using papirus until there's a dark version

[-]

Holiday_Floor_2646@reddit

sir sir kde version
the app launcher icon is gnomified

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

I just tested it and it's soooo broken on KDE, I guess it's time to have fun trying to port it

[-]

Grubbauer@reddit

I would recommend to maybe keep two separate icon packs: One with dark backgrounds and one with white backgrounds.

[-]

Old-Care-2372@reddit

We found the ocd lad

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

Ohhh, I hadn't thought about that LMAO

Thanks for the suggestion, the icons really depend on having a matching background for them to work well the way they are now

[-]

bleachedthorns@reddit

This is cool. Does it have an openmw and openmw-cs icon?

[-]

IgorFerreiraMoraes@reddit (OP)

Unfortunately, no, but since it's available on Flathub I guess I could do it. I'll look into that!

[-]

ConspicuouslyBland@reddit

It’s blinding me

[-]

kemaltml@reddit

I was looking for smtn like that. Nice job.

[-]

dustybun18@reddit

[-]

KuramaPapi@reddit

WOOOOOOOOW, it's so beautiful!

[-]

Amin-Djellab@reddit

i like the Godot one and Blender.

[-]

Rhaegg@reddit

Will check out!

[-]

bissynessman@reddit

yes please :D

[-]

Dist__@reddit

it's ok but same-shaped icons make terrible mobile phone feel. i like windows approach where all they have different shape based on its main object form)

colors are ok.
