        Aaaand the time is up.
        Thank you all indeed for joining this first experiment.

        @3arn0wl I see your proposal as interesting but maybe in the information side. Maybe System-Settings > About > Storage
        i could work there.

        @mateo_salta I think the way to go with the icon set is feeding from upstream Suru project. You gave here a little twist with the colors. Conservative but effective 🙂

            here is it! I took quite everything from suru-icon-theme. the video image could be not visible with SuruDark, but this was the color from video mimetype. in the music and models/templates I experimented a bit more with gradients making the back part of the folder more different from the near front part, a bit of contrast in addition...

              @mymike also I'm not very sure about the right and bottom folds, not originally present in the folder icon, but took from mimrtypes

                @mymike Very nice (you're late) I like the colors but not the folds. Good job (even you're late 😄 😄 :D)

                  This is even later - well! you can't expect creatives to keep to deadlines! 😛

                  A couple of ideas for a new desktop icon based on Suru:

                  0_1544090029800_files.png

                  0_1544090043300_files 2.png

                  And the suggestion that the app just be called "Files", rather than the more cumbersome "File Manager".

                  Also, I was wondering where the images came from on the documents themselves? And whether there were alternatives? The videos one is very orange...

                    @3arn0wl Ha ha ha... nicely played with deadelines 🙂
                    I like that icon.
                    About the name, actually in the desktop is called Files.

                      Hmmm - I took the File shape from the Suru link that @mateo_salta gave, but I've noticed subsequently that it's different to the one in his images. 😕 I wonder where he got them from?

                      Also, I quite like the idea that Files itself is "coloured" white - white being the combination of the whole spectrum - but it's a difficult hue to work with! Maybe it could have a folded background with a spectrum of colours? But then again, that might be too much... A monochrome Icon seems the other extreme though - just dull. 😕

                      (Apologies for my artwork not being up to snuff - I'm just trying to give an idea)

                        @3arn0wl There's a pattern and it's to use whitish icon on greyish background for core system app:

                        • System Settings (nearly)
                        • File Manager
                        • Ciborium
                        • Terminal
                        • Clock
                        • Calendar
                        • OpenStore

                        and I kinda like it

                          Something like this:

                          0_1545331588400_folder 2.png

                          Or perhaps this:
