Nordic colors now blue? #3605

Closed kb-elmo closed 7 months ago

kb-elmo commented 7 months ago

Is there a specific reason why the nordic color was changed without any mention?

Would be nice to get the previous greenish color back, there's already more than enough blue tones in the colors available. The new Nordic looks almost identical to the Adwaita color.

The problem with the original nordic folders is that they're actually not in the Nord color scheme. If you wish you could replace them with the colors in this PR.

See details #3547

That's unfortunate...

As I said there's already six other blue shades in this icon theme. Removing one of the other colors to make it yet another blue doesn't really make sense to me.

It would be nice to still have the original green as an option :) And I don't think adding one more color would make the papirus-folders tool unusable.

I have a plan to create a tool for adding colored folders with user's specific colors, because of too many requests to add another one color for folders. papirus-folders script already supports switching to any color instead of a predefined list of colors. I have to solve how to restore user's folders after upgrading the package.

Alright that sounds like a nice option.

I'll wait for that then :)

btw you mentioned here that it is possible to switch the folders to any color and not just the predefined ones with the papirus-folders tool. how does that work? I can't seem to find the option for that in the script...

@kb-elmo yes, papirus-folders can find any added color of folders to the theme, but a tool for adding the new color hasn't written yet.

Ah ok so I would have to manually create the color variant with a tool like Photoshop or something similar first?

SmartFinn commented 7 months ago

@kb-elmo kinda. But I can't recommend you to do it manually.

kb-elmo commented 7 months ago

what would be a better way? automating it somehow with imagemagick?

SmartFinn commented 7 months ago

@kb-elmo no, SVG is the plain text, you don't need any image editors to replace color in the text. The better way is to wait when I have time and some enthusiasm to write the tool. If you can't wait, lean how to https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/blob/master/tools/build_color_folders.sh script works, and create your own color.

kb-elmo commented 7 months ago

ay that's what I was looking for 😄 not a problem for me to edit that script to what I need.

sorry, didn't think about that the icons would be SVG. but makes sense of course.

thanks!
