Hi Jörn, Actually Numix receives pretty frequent updates. They are adding new application icons all the time. I am surprised at how often I see Numix in my updates.. around 100 icons since we began using them (if I remember right... though it may be a bit less... They also added a 'light' theme recently as well, for people who want to use dark icons in their light colored panel. Basically, in September I had version 0.2+201409110816~649 And now (this is the fifth package I have cached from building the OS) I am up to 0.2+201411142001~671 I think the last number is the revision number from git... though I haven't looked at their recipe too closely... This is the main reason I want to keep it up to date. I don't want to have an out of date icon theme, as I think it doesn't do the authors justice. They work really hard and I want our users to see all the improvements they make.
That said, I fully understand why you would assume it didn't need a PPA... most icon themes stay fairly static for years. On 12/05/2014 02:07 PM, Jörn Schönyan wrote: > Am Freitag, 5.
