A little bit darker mimetype icons
Hey, could you make couple of Numix mimetype icons a little bit darker? It is completely invisible on white background when cursor is over it.
It's really hard fix this. The effect doesn't vanish above L205 which looks to grey for a sheet of paper. A yellowish or blueish tint doesn't seem to help that much either.
Is there a way to disable hover effect or somehow change a color of hovering?
ok, and what i have to change? It would be enough for me but i dont know what should be changed in gtk theme.
I haven't delved into GTK theming myself so far. You'll find the themes in /usr/share/themes (or the respective local paths).
There you need to edit one of the CSS files.
Alas, the documentation for GTK theming is still somewhat rudimentary and scattered all over the shop.
It's best to ask in for instance the Arc repo or on a GNOME IRC channel.
Is there a way to change a background of the icons itself with one simple command? I install your icons on Fedora with my own script that copies github repo and then move everything to '/usr/share/icons'. If there is some command that can change background of icon without involving Inkscape, it would be great - I will change it on my own and everyone would be happy :) To gray color than sheet of paper doesn't matter for me, I prefer aesthetics over it.
EDIT
Ok, I found it, I will public some script this week.
I can't recall an exact command but for instance there are ways to do it with the librsvg CLI or the Inkscape CLI (Inkscape verbs).
Alternatively you can just use a Shell/Python/Perl/Lua/Ruby... script to go through all files in
.../Numix/<size>/mimetypes/ (where <size>=[16,22,24,32,48,64]) and replace every instance of #dcdcdc (hex value of the current L220 colour) by #c0c0c0 (L192).
Thanks, I was playing a little bit with 'sed' and I learnt the way how hover effect works with icons. I think that it is fixable and I will try solve this problem.
Hover effect hates this: rgb(86.27451%,86.27451%,86.27451%);fill-opacity:1; It is better to change it to something like this: rgb(0%,0%,0%);fill-opacity:0.15;
btw it fixes bug with backgound color of icon when hovering.
Ah OK, so it isn't saved as hex, guess that's due to the icons have had an SVG cleaning script applied in the past.
What you did is setting the colour to black and 85% transparency. Is that what you want?
That's actually a pretty cool way to fix this isn't it? But maybe make the difference a bit more obvious sth like 30% transparancy?
The icons won't look the same on non-white backgrounds (e.g. dark GTK theme variant) though.
