From: Chris Billington Subject: new: x11/xapp-symbolic-icons To: openbsd-ports Mailing List Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 12:23:47 +0800 One of the responses to Gnome Project making the Adwaita icon themes 'private' in May 2024 is an icon set used by 'Xapps applications', used primarily by the Cinnamon DE/Linux Mint. xapp-symbolic-icons is a collection of fallback symbolic icons installed under the x11/hicolor-icon-theme base directory. The icon names are prefixed with 'xapp-' and a Python3 utility is provided to 'convert' source code to use them. This port is based on xapp-symbolic-icons as a low-friction response to the deprecation of the Adwaita icon themes for non- 'Gnome Core Applications' [1] The xapp- prefix is stripped from the icon names and the Python utility removed. With the port installed, non-Gnome-Core GTK (and other) applications using symbolic action icons will use a compatible fallback icon when Adwaita or other icon themes are not installed or configured on non-Gnome DE/WMs. Otherwise, there is a fair chance some icons will be missing. You could say it aims at 'sane defaults'. This port complements the x11/adwaita-xfce-icon-theme I proposed to the list recently. Tweaked version also attached- adds some xfce-specific symbolic icons, allows selection in Xfce 'Appearance' GUI, and requires configuring 'adwaita-xfce' as the active theme in other environments. Tested on 7.9-stable/-current with Xfce and dwm tiling WM. Advice please: since the port is only 'based on' xapp-symbolic-icons, would a better PKGNAME be something like 'hicolor-symbolic-icons-extra'?
