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.

Numix icon theme Catppuccin for GTK Apple Cursor
For Gnome I use adw-gtk3 on automatic day/night switching because it makes everything look nice and uniform.
I prefer Tela icons to Papirus as they’re less cartoony.
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’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’m kind of rocking my own colourscheme, based around 4 colours: #467b96 as primary, #889fa7 as secondary, #dfdfdf for white, and a mix of #696969 #282c34 and #343434 for shades of gray and black, with #282c34 being the primary background colour I stick with. I also use some shades of my primary and secondary colours from time to time. It looks really good with the Arc-Darkest GTK theme and Sardi-Flat-Arc as an icon theme. Alternatively, I’ve looked into papirus with blue as a folder colour, but I prefer Sardi-Flat-Arc.
Edit: Most other colours come from either the doom-one colourscheme or from the terminal colourscheme for Alacritty from ArcoLinux.
The default
breeze-darkis good enough for me withpapirusdark icons andbreeze-neutralcursors.Edit: oh also I change the accent color to
#cc8899and the window decorations to just the x to close. I use gestures to interact with windows.- Colloid GTK Theme (Colloid-Dark)
- Papirus (Papirus-Dark)
- Adwaita Cursor Theme
I used the Equilux GTK theme for years but it’s been abandoned since 2018 and GNOME has changed a lot since then. I switched to Colloid and it didn’t take much to tweak it to my liking, mainly reducing the size of the titlebar and panel.
. I frequently swap between XFCE and Gnome, and it works very nicely on both. I like the big square window buttons, like how windows does it, because it makes it easier to click rather then a small circle like most themes. Also I just like the look better.
On my desktop I use Gnome with Arc-Dark everywhere. On my laptop, I use LabWC with a custom one-dark theme that I wrote. Oh, and Phinger cursors on both
Bonny-global
Dracula.
I would like to try out Dracula pro, but it is behind a pay wall ://… There should be a demo.
yeah, its at least only a one-time payment (considering how much i have used the colorscheme i dont mind), plan to pick it up during cybermonday one day. I would assume there is no way to enforce the demo (likely no DRM which is also good)
Yes, and I am not against paying for the work of others, of course. Though I do find the theme a bit too expensive and am out of funds right now. Perhaps in the future. Though I have tried many themes in the past and ended up not liking theme. Paying for a theme and then not liking/using it is a bit… Hard to swallow…
But yes, it is a one time payment. Can you imagine if even themes start being subscription based? 5usd/month to use a fucking theme… We are not that far off hahah
yeah, that i understand. am there too hence why I havent bought it yet, it’s hard to justify a color palette when there are more pressing uses for your money. If and when I do buy the pro theme it would be more to support the creator than for the pro color scheme [a thank you for the long years of use], that way cant be upset if i dont like it :D
RIGHT! that would be insane, with [traditional] subscriptions I could stomach it if creators were getting paid instead of some corporate jackoff buying another yatch.
KDE Plasma 5

- App style: Oxygen
- GTK theme: Windows10

Good standard layout. None of that panel on the left nonsense.
I use the default breeze light on plasma. Most themes are broken or just too much. Breeze is great
