README

### What is this?
La Capitaine is an icon pack — designed to integrate with most
desktop environments. The set of icons takes inspiration from the latest
iterations of macOS and Google's Material Design through the use of
visually pleasing gradients, shadowing, and simple icon geometry.

Every image in this theme is a _scalable vector graphic_ so it will look
great at any size, on any screen. In my spare time, I work on adding new
icons, updating old ones, and making this theme more complete. Since
this theme is updated often, you should clone this git repository and
pull regularly to make sure you're always up-to-date:

```
cd ~/.icons
git clone https://github.com/keeferrourke/la-capitaine-icon-theme.git
```

Alternatively, there are
[AUR PKGBUILDs](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?K=la-capitaine-icon-theme)
available, so if you're on Arch Linux, simply run:

```
yay -S la-capitaine-icon-theme # point releases
yay -S la-capitaine-icon-theme-git # git master branch
```

Fedora and EPEL users can also install from the official repositories

```
sudo dnf install la-capitaine-icon-theme
```

### Configuration
La Capitaine comes with a configuration script which attempts to
determine your distribution and desktop environment. Using this
information, La Capitaine updates several system icons and icons used
for mime-types.

For best integration with your distro/desktop environment, please run
`./configure` and follow the prompts.

#### Use a dark GTK+ theme?
La Capitaine doesn't ship with two distinct variants, because I wanted
to keep the size of this project to a minimum.

You'll need to run the configuration script to tell La Capitaine to
update its directory structure to use the dark variant.
