Let’s be honest, the rankings of gnome-look are weird at best and there is no good resource to gauge what icons / cursors / themes people like to use in their everyday DE.

So please share what icon-pack / cursor theme / GTK|QT theme you use, and why.

    Theme: depends. I’m rocking Gnome on my laptop, so something like Otis looks good in it. Kripton or Jasper (what I typically use in XFCE) also look nice regardless of DE IMO. Just depends, but mostly, it’s a dark theme so my already meh eyes are spared a flashbang. Very original, I know.

    Icons: Gruvbox Plus. Dunno, just always kinda feel it. Guess I like the designs? Also love me some Win10Sur and Reversal Icons.

    Cursor: Bibata, typically. Oreo Cursors, if i feel like adding more pazazz and color…which is most of the time, honestly (also helps make my mouse easy to find. Not that my desktop is cluttered it’s just nice to immededly know where it’s at with a glance).

    I use Plasma with Breeze Dark theme and icons and adwaita cursors. Boring but works for me.

    Icon theme : Papirus Theme: Catppuccin Macchiato Cursor: Catppuccin Dark

    As you can see I enjoy the catppuccin colorscheme for its variety.

    The default breeze-dark is good enough for me with papirus dark icons and breeze-neutralcursors.

    Edit: oh also I change the accent color to #cc8899 and the window decorations to just the x to close. I use gestures to interact with windows.

    Dark breeze. I’m actively searching for icon alternatives but they are not well integrated with system-color-accent.

    I’m using EndeavourOS XFCE, but with two things on top:

    • Nightfox Dusk BL GTK theme
    • Tela Purple Dark icon theme

    I think these two work really well together

    I just use the papirus icon theme and the rest is pretty much stock. Breeze dark and the white kde plasma cursor theme. I cannot live without white cursors! I also like the new Linux Mint cursor theme a lot tho. Those are some chonky boys.

    I can’t remember my icon pack rn, but I use and love the cursor pack from Mint as I am not a huge fan of the mouse stem. (The one from Peepin is also really great)

      The theme I use for my apps is just gtk4 (with gtk4 for gtk3) and Grandiance on wich I put the same color palette than the material you apps on my phone so the feel is consistent between devices
