Changing the folder colour

Please visit directly the tutorial: Suru++ Folders. The tutorial is translated in 7 languages.

Changing the alternative icon

Firefox

  1. Go to /usr/share/applications/;
  2. Go to the desktop file Firefox;
  3. Open the file with your favourite text editor;
  4. Find Icon=... and modify it with one of three alternatives: Icon=firefox or Icon=firefox-mozilla or Icon=firefox-traditional. Save it.

Alternative icons

  1. Run cd "go_to_/Suru++\ Dark/64/";
  2. Download the script alt-icon.sh, make it executable and trusted and copy the path of this script to the terminal;
  3. For example:
cd ~/.local/share/icons/Suru++\ Dark/64
$ ~/.local/share/icons/Suru++\ Dark/64
~/alt-icon.sh
=> Old symlink
user.svg
=> New symlink
user-alt1.svg

If you do not like one alternate and want to try another, run like:

=> Old symlink
user-alt1.svg
=> New symlink
user-alt2.svg

File manager icon

  1. Go to the folder /usr/share/applications, for example, if you want to change the default icon of Nautilus, your favourite file manager, find nautilus.desktop
  2. Run as sudo and change Icon=... to any of these:
  • Icon=file-manager
  • Icon=caja
  • Icon=nautilus
  • Icon=nemo
  • Icon=sapcefm-find
  • Icon=thunar

Remember that if you make an upgrade of your system, these desktop files will revert to the original icon name. Move them to ~./local/share/applications. Note that after the upgrade of your system, it will add the desktop files in the /usr/share/applications, so you need to remove them.

Known bugs

Snap-built apps

Unfortunately the snap-built apps are not supported almost by any icons themes, because the icons are hardcoded and the desktop files are not hosted in the folder ~/.local/share/applications or /usr/share/applications.

To solve it, please follow the instructions:

  1. Do:
# Copy all desktop files of all snap-built apps to "~/.local/share/applications"
sudo cp /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/*.desktop ~/.local/share/applications
# To de-sudo the files
sudo chmod -R 777 ~/.local/share/applications
# To remove the duplicates
sudo rm /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/*.desktop
  1. Go to the directory ~/.local/share/applications;
  2. Open each desktop file of snap app with your favourite text editor and modify the encoded path of Icon to the simple path with no extension. For example, if you use Insomnia:
Icon=snap/icons/icon.png
Icon=insomnia

AppImage-built apps

With AppImageLauncher installed, you click an AppImage, it is automatically integrated to ~/Applications, and desktop files are automatically created into ~/local/share/applications. But if you modify one of the AppImage-built app desktop file to correct the icon path, AppImageLauncher reverts automatically the desktop file to the original and keeps again the icon path hardcoded. It also removes the option StartupWMClass. We recommend you to ban AppImageLauncher.

  1. Remove appimagelauncher via terminal;
  2. Make all AppImages executable and trusted:
chmod a+x *.AppImage
  1. Reboot;
  2. Create the desktop files manually in the directory ~/.local/share/applications. Do not forget of adding the option StartupWNClass or the icon will be unrecognised or ugly.

Hardcoded application icons with ugly name

We have already icons, but it is wrong or ugly name, or because the icon is hardcoded. For example, the application Github Desktop used Icon=desktop.png and other apps, like Insomnia, use Icon=icon.png, or worse, Icon=stupid/path/icon.png.

To deal with hardcoded application icons we recommend to install hardcode-fixer. Suru++ supports most of the applications in the list. If hardcode-fixer doesn't support your favourite app yet, please open an issue here or edit your .desktop file manually.

Hardcoded tray icons

To fix hardcoded tray icons, install and use Hardcode-Tray script. A list of supported applications is available here.

To get Suru++ to work right with Hardcode-Tray script, use the hardcode-tray option --conversion-tool RSVGConvert:

sudo -E hardcode-tray --conversion-tool RSVGConvert --size 22 --theme Suru++

Unrecognised and ugly icons

Okular icon and other icons

Not just Suru++, it also affects Numix icons theme. It is a missed StartupWMClass option in the desktop files in KDE and an icon cache bug in GNOME and KDE.

  1. Install and use StartupWMClassFixer;
  2. Install and use Stacer to clean caches;
  3. Log out and log in.
