Ubuntu mate 24.04 support

[maravento]

Hi. You could support Ubuntu Mate 24.04. Icons like "Caja, terminal, calculator, pluma, etc." which are typical of this distro, they look like in the image:

install:

sudo apt install numix-icon-theme-circle numix-gtk-theme numix-icon-theme

It only happens with numis and numix light icons. Not with numix circle or numix circle light

Hi, I don't quite understand what this issue is about. What happens? Which icons are unthemed?

You need to have one of our app icon themes (numix-icon-theme-circle or numix-icon-theme-square) installed in order for app icons to be themed.

[maravento]

numix-icon-theme-square

For Ubuntu 24.04 only the following packages are available:

sudo apt-cache search numix
numix-gtk-theme - modern flat theme from the Numix project
numix-icon-theme - modern icon theme from the Numix project
numix-icon-theme-circle - Circle icon theme from the Numix project

The problem package is:

numix-icon-theme

this package installs correctly, but when selecting these icons it looks like shown in the image (at least in plank).

this does not happen on ubuntu 22.04. Check:

[palob]

You also need to install numix-icon-theme-circle if you want to have the app icons themed.

I'm not sure if you've read the issue, but I'll clarify again.

Installed packages related to numix:

dpkg -l | grep numix
ii  numix-gtk-theme                                          2.6.7-7                                              all          modern flat theme from the Numix project
ii  numix-icon-theme                                         0~20231202-1                                         all          modern icon theme from the Numix project
ii  numix-icon-theme-circle                                  24.04.22-1                                           all          Circle icon theme from the Numix project

PD: The numix-icon-theme-square package is not in the Ubuntu 22.04 | 24.04 repositories

SO: Ubuntu Mate 24.04 with plank 0.11.89

Bug description:

Icons are not displayed when selecting the Numix or Numix Light icons. Numix Circle and Numix Circle Light icons display correctly

Downgrade:

In Ubuntu 22.04 both icons are displayed correctly

[palob]

As far as I can see everything is working as intended. Numix Circle/Square build on top of Numix base (numix-icon-theme). Numix base (numix-icon-theme) does not include any app icons. We need to do this split (base theme - app icon themes) so users can choose between Numix Circle and Numix Square for app icons.

Your explanation does not solve the bug. In order not to extend this conversation any further, I suggest that, when you can, you replicate the scenario and maybe you can see the bug.

[palob]

I can reproduce this behaviour but there is no bug, please cf. https://github.com/numixproject/numix-icon-theme/blob/master/readme.md

[maravento]

Your response just confirmed to me that you are definitely not reading the issue and are responding randomly.

1. First you have mentioned to install the numix-icon-theme-square package and this package does not exist in the Ubuntu repositories
2. Now you send me a link explaining the use of the PPA, when you should know that in the issue I describe that I use Ubuntu 24.04 and the PPA is not compatible with this version.

I suggest that if you are not interested in resolving this issue, let another team member address it. And if no one is interested, close it.

regards

Please refrain from making accusations. Numix Square may or may not exist in the Ubuntu repos yet we cater for the people who use it.

Talking about not reading, the first paragraph of the readme linked says:

Numix is designed to be used along-side an application icon theme like Numix Circle or Numix Square.

So in order to solve your issue use Numix Circle instead of Numix (Light).

[maravento]

Again, your answer does not solve the bug. So, I assume, there is no interest on your part in addressing the issue. And, again, I suggest you allow another team member to address this issue, or, if no one wants to do it, then close it.

[palob]

If the issue is anything else than no app icons showing up when icon theme Numix is selected, please try again to explain, I still might not have grasped it.

If however that is the exact issue there is nothing we can do about it given the way our themes are organised currently.

Maybe there is a simple way to prevent Numix from showing up in the first place. On the other hand there might be people out there who want to use the Numix base icons without app icons.
