Description: UPDATE!! I am trying to implement another one of material designs philosophies, namely to use more than one action on an element, to show it's importance, since it is difficult;t to animate icons without your theme. Instead I'm trying another method, color. First, just on the folder components, since this is the easiest, since almost every file-manager, supports at least an open state, and a closed state. There are two alternatives to the standard type of folder already present in School Material, if you use one of these two variations, please, I'd be interested to hear your feedback. Like for instance, if you liked them, would you like to see something similar for other high priority icons, like shutdown, etc?
Alpha version of School Material. Meant for dark themes. Still under development!
Theme mostly follows Material Design guidelines, where it makes sense. Occasionally a piece might veer from the guidelines, and is usually related to shadows. I want depth in my dark theme! Very little flat or long shadows, occasionally (again, where it makes sense), I have incorporated a few. If you don't like a current icon, its likely a placeholder. Alpha!
Feel free to assign your favorites if they aren't currently covered. I myself, utilize a custom built desktop, so naming for kde, will be one of the latter updates. There is more support for xfce, openbox, lxde, or any X based menu or desktop system currently. Support for gnome has been added. All system core coverage should be included. Hopefully, you enjoy the set. Comes with pre-configured icon cache, if you add to the core files, or change names, please do not use symbols, they will invalidate the cache, and gtk will complain incessantly.Last changelog:
UPdate 0.007
More changes to the apps section, as well as a fairly large update to the action icons, very shortly I will also introduce two alternative folder options, please have a look and see if you like the new design! Thanks again for all your support!
not finalized, just once they have settled down, and aren't in such high flux. I just don't have the time to maintain two repos for it, at the moment., when I constantly tear down the one I have for it.
it is contradictory, they are free designs, but you do not share the svg, now it is more efficient to use svg to png, it is faster, and the final set will look better. regards
I will share the svg. And I agree, svg has so many benefits to png, however the linux standard at a bare, requires .png, even if submitting an svg, which the set follows. I had hoped to have a project I'm on finished by now, so I could dedicate more time to getting the set ready so I could release the svg, however my other project is still on going, for at least one more week and I just haven't had the time. But I promise, the svg will be released, and in the not too distant future. Although it would be faster, the repo is currently setup, I would have new scripts to write, adjust the flow of the main repo, and testing to do implementing the svg, as it is, I am pulling 12-16 hour days as is, some weeks it's 7 days in a row, especially since we are so close to launch, and it involves many stakeholders, I just don't have the actual phsical time to make such a large adjustment. I have to sneak in an hour here, there just to have enough time to draw new icons.
But as soon as I launch, and I can hand some work off to the tech team, getting the baseline down for icons here, is a main priority. Once that's settled, the Svg will be released. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but please do check back and they will be available soon. TM.

Sorry for the delay since last update, I have been totally swamped, but I have a fairly large release, which I hope to have finalized by today or tomorrow, this will be the largest update to School Material thus far. Thanks everyone for all the support!
Looks promising. Still need a lot of work which I'm sure you will be excited to do :) I'm hoping you will release all in vector format when you think it's ready.

isn't it working on gnome? The vast majority of icons are turning back to system default when I select "schoolmaterial" on gnome-tweeks.

updated, you should have pdf support now, and I will put libre office on the docket for the next update! Thank you for the feedback!
I'm loving this so far, but I don't have icons for .pdf files or LibreOffice files.
Updated! Thank you again everyone for the support!

And yes, I do plan on releasing the vector files. I figure once all the icons have been filled out, I plan to release them,

Wow innovative and beautiful concept. impeccable execution so far. Hope it doesn't get abandoned and that a "version 1.0" comes out soon!
Looks promising. Still need a lot of work which I'm sure you will be excited to do :) I'm hoping you will release all in vector format when you think it's ready.
