Can you provide installing procedure for this icon set?

Please specify in readme which theme do you use on xfce.

Thank you

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know that I created a AUR package build for your icon theme (great stuff btw):
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/victory-icon-theme-git/

So Arch users can install the theme through their package manager. Hope that is to your liking! If not, let me know I can of course remove it again ...

Best regards

First of, love the flat visual style. The only thing bothering me is the width:height ratio of the folder icons. To me, they look stretched. And I understand this is an artistic decision but hear me out.

It's these icons I'm talking about:

I'll try my best to explain why I get thrown off my track every time I look at the folder icons. A folder in real life typically contains papers or documents that typically are A4 or similar in size so the width:height ratio is somewhere around 1:1.4. This is the size that we naturally associate with folders and is also very prevalent in icon themes for this very reason.

My brain identifies the icon as a folder but it doesn't match my (and I presume many others') visual image of a folder due to the width:height ratio being off by too much. This causes a slight cognitive dissonance every time I look at them.

Looking at the icon there is a gap between the back pane and the front fold (the white area) and a gradient on the front which indicates that the folder is opened. However if you look at a real opened folder then the front pane would be at an angle to the camera and by perspective projection would have a trapezoid shape (like this). But the front fold in the icon isn't shaped like that so it too causes a dissonance in my brain. It doesn't look like I would expect an open folder to look. Compare to the drive icons:

that are perspective projected. And archives:

I propose to render the folder as being a closed folder with the expected width:height ratio. This would remove both the dissonance from having odd dimensions and also the feeling of a strange 3D projection. Or to render it as being perspective projected in addition to a slight reshape of the dimensions.

I would contribute but I can't draw to save my life, I can only tell why something doesn't "look right".

Victory icons are nice, and it has not been updated for months. There is a lot of missing icons here and there.

Please, add more. Thanks in advance!

Other archive types (zip, tar.gz, tar.bz) have archive icons but tar.xz doesn't and falls back to default.

I use xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin instead of the indicator plugin and the icons aren't showing correctly. See these images, one with hover other without.
