I used the Sweet-KDE color scheme for years on KDE Plasma, but recently I’ve been converting everything to Catppuccin Macchiato. Default icons and cursors.

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

KDE Plasma 5

• Global theme: Win7OS
• App style: Oxygen
• GTK theme: Windows10
• Colours: Win7OS
• Window Decorations: Expose Air
• Fixed font: MesloLGS Nerd Font 10pt
• Icons: Windows 7 Ultimate 7600

Good standard layout. None of that panel on the left nonsense.

Theme: depends. I’m rocking Gnome on my laptop, so something like Otis looks good in it. Kripton or Jasper (what I typically use in XFCE) also look nice regardless of DE IMO. Just depends, but mostly, it’s a dark theme so my already meh eyes are spared a flashbang. Very original, I know.

Icons: Gruvbox Plus. Dunno, just always kinda feel it. Guess I like the designs? Also love me some Win10Sur and Reversal Icons.

Cursor: Bibata, typically. Oreo Cursors, if i feel like adding more pazazz and color…which is most of the time, honestly (also helps make my mouse easy to find. Not that my desktop is cluttered it’s just nice to immededly know where it’s at with a glance).

I use Plasma with Breeze Dark theme and icons and adwaita cursors. Boring but works for me.

I use bibata modern cursor + papirus icon theme

I like the Kora icon pack.

Shameless self promotion, I made my own cursor pack. It’s Splatoon-themed. https://www.pling.com/p/2040163/

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.

The default breeze-dark is good enough for me with papirus dark icons and breeze-neutralcursors.

Edit: oh also I change the accent color to #cc8899 and the window decorations to just the x to close. I use gestures to interact with windows.

Theme: any Nordic dark theme Icons: Papirus, it just can’t be beat Cursor: Do people actually care enough to change it? They’re all kinda same-y

Dracula for shell/wm theme and papirus-dark for icons

Dark breeze. I’m actively searching for icon alternatives but they are not well integrated with system-color-accent.

• 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.
