Hey everyone I was wondering how do you spice up your cursors, icons, themes, etc., In particular for desktop environments such as XFCE, Mate. Are there any good repositories to use?
I’ve taken a look at a number of apparently cloned sites like “xfce-look.org”, “kde-look.org”, “gnome-look.org”, but while they seem to show a wide offering of themes, it seems downloading from them is blocked via uBO since it reports a “fp2” fingerprinting script without which apparently downloads are not enabled. Are those sites trustworthy? They seem to be associated to a “OpenDesktop” initiative of which the only reputation I can find is that they were added to EasyList Privacy blocklist.
If there are other alternative hubs or repos from which to theme a distro (as agnostically as posisble) that’d be welcome info.
Cheers. Thanks. Et cetera.
Nowadays I mainly get themes from KDE’s system settings since uBlock hasn’t allowed me to directly install them from the “look” sites, but when I have downloaded and installed themes from those sites (mainly from gnome-look when I used GNOME) they’ve been legit, so those particular sites have been trustworthy enough to me. It’s easiest to just go through your DE’s system/theme settings and install them from there if your DE has that feature, though. Most of the themes you’ll find on the “look” sites will also be listed there.
