This theme is based on AwOken and Token, lots of shapes and basic color pallete was taken from these icons. Few icons was taken from Raphael http://raphaeljs.com/. I use some shapes from OpenClipart http://www.openclipart.org, Wikipedia, Humanity, AnyColorYouLike Themes and Emoji One icons. The rest of icons I design myself by simplifying existed icons or logos. I use mostly two fonts: Impact and Cheboygan.
Icons are mostly monoshape, but some icons have additional elements. There are nine predefined color themes (in five colors) but you can also crete your own.
Available themes:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| violaceus | violet/pink gradient |
| lux_violaceus | glossy variant |
| canus | grey gradient (default) |
| dark_canus | dark grey gradient |
| caeruleus | blue gradient |
| lux_caeruleus | glossy variant |
| viridis | green gradient |
| luteus | orange gradient |
| albus | white solid |

Every icon is made from a single shape and a template so it's easy to customize.
You can create custom theme by creating new file src/template_<your_name>.svg
see default templates to see how they are build. Basicly all templates must have
{{PATH}} and {{TITLE}} marks which will be replaced by data from the "source"
of an icon. You can create theme in Inkscape but after saving you must put {{PATH}}
marker in d atrribute of the shape (I don't tested but it sould work). You
can also edit template by hand see SVG Specification http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/
to see what transformations and effects you can add.
If you done editing your custom template double click change-theme and select
<your_name> to create your custom icons.
If you want to use make you must run ./configure first
