SerenityOS now has an app on Ports folder named serenity-theming. It is highly recommended since it's always kept up-to-date and will always get the latest commit.

Unofficial SerenityOS Icon Themes

This repo is my humble effort to try and produce icons for SerenityOS. All my icons are made using SerenityOS's own Pixel Paint application (where possible).

How to install

Officially recommended: Ports/serenity-theming/package.sh
Copy recursively the contents of Base/res/icon-themes/[Theme-Name]/ overwriting those of $SERENITY_SOURCE_DIR/Base/res/icons/

# ensure current dir is $SERENITY_SOURCE_DIR
$ pwd

# Initialization
# Make a Default theme
$ cp -r Base/res/icons/ Base/res/icon-themes/Default

# enable Default theme always
$ cp -r Base/res/icon-themes/Default/* Base/res/icons/

# now use selected icon theme
$ cp -r Base/res/icon-themes/Black-and-White/* Base/res/icons/

# exec serenity.sh run
$ Meta/serenity.sh run

Executing $SERENITY_SOURCE_DIR/Meta/serenity.sh run should create an image _disk_image for QEmu to load and run
Source PixelPaint files are on pp/ folder, inside the icon- theme name, i.e. Songbyrrd, BlueByrrd
It is recommended to try out these icons on a separate branch:

$ git clone https://github.com/serenityos/serenity
$ cd serenity
$ git pull
$ git clone -b branch-using-custom-icons

Use the branch branch-using-custom-icons for example and copy over the icons into serenity as mentioned above.
This is still a work-in-progress, and may always remain so even into the forseeable future. :^)

Note:

I may optionally update the PixelPaint files. This repo exists for the .PNG files and those files are mostly guaranteed to be updated.
