This is another icon theme that I truly enjoy a lot and it needs to be updated!!

I agree with those graphic designers who treat the File Manager as an app and therefore create an app icon for it instead of simply using the generic folder icon from the "places" sub-directory. And I think one of the best FM app icons (if not the best) is the one created for Ubuntu recently by "thieum".

So, if I may, here's a blue variant (although far from perfect) to match this great icon theme: https://www.dropbox.com/s/aisy3i95w5ogsq4/Emerald_system-file-manager.svg?dl=0

As a very very modest contribution, if you like, I've created one by merging the dropbox app icon into the generic folder icon:

Thanks a lot for this.

1) I think Breeze-style Dropbox status icons would look better. I tried but couldn't do better than this clumsy thing:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/b0xs3ecnk0iv1pq/breeze-dropbox-status.zip?dl=0
But I still can see a glimpse of the previous (fallback) black dropbox when syncing in addition to my blue Breeze-style one.

2) The "/status/symbolic" directory needs clipboard manager icons (for example, I've copied "edit-paste.svg" as "clipit-trayicon.svg") and redshift status icons (I've copied those from Nitrux theme)

3) I've got a better (I think) Desktop folder icon after I deleted all copies of that mime-type icon (/apps/scalable/desktop.svg, cs-desktop.svg, preferences-desktop-wallpaper.svg, show-desktop.svg, user-desktop.svg, utilities-desktop-extra.svg and /categories/scalable/preferences-desktop-tweaks.svg) and I think it might even look better in the same blue color as folder icons.

4) The main Emerald theme lacks indicator-keyboard-LANG icons that are present in Emerald Dark - I think they would look better in Breeze style.

5) Finally, Synaptic Package Manager toolbar has a color icon for "Mark All Upgrades" unlike others.

Thanks in advance.
On second thought, I personally decided that avoiding Breeze-style icons in the tray (Ubuntu top panel) will be better for consistency there. Otherwise it's very difficult (at least now) to change all icons appearing there - e.g. my-weather-indicator and many others who use their own traditional mono-dark or mono-light icons with no matching Breeze-style alternatives.

Great job. Can you change volume tray icon in Emerald-dark to be like the one in Emerald. Currently looks like WiFi tray icon.

I would like to use them in gray. Is there another way to change to another color without using inkscape?

Hi great theme. After updating to Fedora 21 with Gnome 3.14 the icons get blured up on Evolution. Can you fix this please or tell me how to?

My icons are all vector icons， so maybe the problem is on your desktop. but I don't know how to do with it, Because it's ok on my fedora 21

Hi, i got a fresh Fedora21 with all updates and Gnome. The Problem only occurs in Evolution. I think it is just evolution nothing. else

Nice theme, i like it.
But… could you make dark-version theme too? I'm using dark background on toolbars and black icons on dark-gray looks terrible :(

Do you think you could make an icon for pkgbrowser?
Love the icon for cmake among several others :)
This is a really beautiful icon set - it looks "expensive" :)

TIA

Very nice! I was just wondering why did you name it emerald, since I don't see much emeraldish green here. But it looks pretty good anyway. :-)

Budy! I'm really not good at that name stuffs. I just thought the luster is a little like emerald, so "Emerald".

Thanks for fixing the desktop icon in the launcher.

By the way: your new icon for Kino is the same as the Totem player.
