Let’s be honest, the rankings of gnome-look are weird at best and there is no good resource to gauge what icons / cursors / themes people like to use in their everyday DE.
So please share what icon-pack / cursor theme / GTK|QT theme you use, and why.
I use the default breeze light on plasma. Most themes are broken or just too much. Breeze is great
I’m using EndeavourOS XFCE, but with two things on top:
- Nightfox Dusk BL GTK theme
- Tela Purple Dark icon theme
I think these two work really well together
Icon theme : Papirus Theme: Catppuccin Macchiato Cursor: Catppuccin Dark
As you can see I enjoy the catppuccin colorscheme for its variety.
Theme: depends. I’m rocking Gnome on my laptop, so something like Otis looks good in it. Kripton or Jasper (what I typically use in XFCE) also look nice regardless of DE IMO. Just depends, but mostly, it’s a dark theme so my already meh eyes are spared a flashbang. Very original, I know.
Icons: Gruvbox Plus. Dunno, just always kinda feel it. Guess I like the designs? Also love me some Win10Sur and Reversal Icons.
Cursor: Bibata, typically. Oreo Cursors, if i feel like adding more pazazz and color…which is most of the time, honestly (also helps make my mouse easy to find. Not that my desktop is cluttered it’s just nice to immededly know where it’s at with a glance).

Icon theme : Papirus
-
Shell and GTK theme : Yaru Dark ( the ubuntu darkmode one )
For cursors, i use the default Adwaita. Even though i shifted from ubuntu to arch 7 years ago, i always liked the orangish theme of ubuntu.
