OpenCanopy Icons

@blackosx

Windows Reflection theme is very very good. Really. Icons are amazing. FlatTile and Glassy are also beautiful but Reflection...

[blackosx]

To provide choice, I've updated the iMac themes and new the Set5 icon sets to include an alternate restart icon matching the design in OcBinaryData.

@Andrey1970 Thanks for pointing this out.

[blackosx]

Yes

 Testing the new icon, what to say .... as always, excellent work, curated and very professional. 2 little things to say, I hope not to be boring

I have arranged the icon for Linux, there is never in your sets   ( @Andrey1970 the shots I made yesterday I have to update the restart icon  )

 

 

 

if I would like to use the icons in light shade, for example those of the resetnvram and tool icon , are  only present in the dark shade  the solution is to mix them light and dark? 

Thanks for your patience

 

[blackosx]

Thanks @antuneddu

 

There will be linux icons I just haven't aded them yet.. (Here's a sneak preview of quick FlatTile build).

Exactly!

I'll generate the icons. You mix and match which ever ones you want

 

ps. Nice background image

 

[blackosx]

I’ve updated all Set5 icon sets on the repo with Linux icons. There are also a few more variations on the sets.

 

EDIT:

I’ve also added some links to the preview images to the front page of the repo.

 

EDIT2:

I’ve not added links to WindowReflection Black or the Brights sets yet but will do when I can.

Trying to recreate an old Clover theme. 

 

 

[blackosx]

Nice. A solid red fill, behind a solid black fill with punched hole and bevels. Should work just fine. I look forward to seeing it

Fix spelling of behind

[blackosx]

Yeah. I think I first saw the idea used

in the Chameleon Bullet theme by No Smoking Bandit. It’s a good technique and can make for some nice looking themes.

[Irish_Man]

Lockscreen done, I think.

OpenCore/Opencanopy 0.7.0 was updated yesterday with support for image directories so themes images can now be bundled in to a single dir.

 

OcBinaryData has also been updated with Theme dirs:
Acidanthera/Chardonnay
Acidanthera/GoldenGate
Acidanthera/Syrah

 

As always check the configuration PDF for details, but for speed for the relevant part is here:

 

Quote

 

13. PickerVariant
Type: plist string
Failsafe: Auto
Description: Choose specific icon set to be used for boot management.

 

An icon set is a directory path relative to Resources\Image, where the icons and an optional manifest are located. It is recommended for the artists to use provide their sets in the Vendor\Set format, e.g. Acidanthera\GoldenGate.

 

Sample resources provided as a part of OcBinaryData repository provide the following icon set:

• Acidanthera\GoldenGate — macOS 11 styled icon set.
• Acidanthera\Syrah — macOS 10.10 styled icon set.
• Acidanthera\Chardonnay — macOS 10.4 styled icon set.

 

For convenience purposes there also are predefined aliases:

• Auto — Automatically select one set of icons based on the DefaultBackground colour: Acidanthera\GoldenGate for Syrah Black and Acidanthera\Chardonnay for Light Gray.
• Default — Acidanthera\GoldenGate.

 

 

So to make this work for you, all theme icon files from now on will lose any prefix and just be named as the icon, for example:
AppleRecv.icns
AppleTM.icns
BtnFocus.icns

...

 

Your OC/Resources/Image/ dir will then contain a vendor dir, for example Acidanthera, Blackosx or Chris1111 (or whatever you want) and then in that dir will be theme dirs from that person/vendor. You set the PickerVariant option in config plist to match the theme you wish to load.

 

So if I set my OC dir to this...

 

 

Then I can instruct OpenCanopy to use my BsxImacBlue_ theme by entering the following as the PickerVariant

                <key>PickerVariant</key>
                <string>Blackosx\BsxImacBlue_</string>

Good work guys. And looking forward to any upcoming changes too.

 

Thanks to the devs for making this change

Also thanks to Mike Beaton for the heads up.

Thanks for the info, very well explained.

In PickerVariant I must write \Blackosx\BsxImacBlue_ instead of Blackosx\BsxImacBlue_. Does it work fine for you without the first backward slash?

 

Edited May 16, 2021 by miliuco

[blackosx]

Without the preceding backslash worked fine for me, though I only tested in Qemu.

[Anto65]

I just set it up like this and works well with Pickervariant = Auto

[blackosx]

Good to know. I didn’t test that but makes sense for backwards compatibility.

Yes, you're right, I've tried without preceding backslash and it works.

@blackosx

I want to try some of your theme. But I don't remember how to set background.icns instead of DefaultBackgroundColor in config.plist.

Let me know. Please.

In PickerVariant, I write \Blackosx\BsxImacBlue_ and  Blackosx\BsxImacBlue_ without success, only text picker.

Works Auto in PickerVariant (OC select Acidanthera/GoldenGate)

Both ways are working for me. Do icons inside BsxImacBlue_ folder have names without prefix? E.g. Apple.icns, etc.

I have to admit I have tried the above methods and examples posted by @blackosx @miliuco with exhausted permutations and at every reboot the boot menu results to text only. So I reverted to the tried and tested method of renaming the the icons and placing them in the Image folder that works every time. Maybe I am suffering a bout of brain freeze but it just won't work for me. 

Strange.

For example, I have 3 icons set made by different vendors:

•     \EFI\OC\Resources\Image\Acidanthera\GoldenGate
•     \EFI\OC\Resources\Image\Blackosx\BsxDarkFenceGreen
•     \EFI\OC\Resources\Image\Chris1111\Apple-BnW.

    
Directory tree looks like this:

├── Audio
├── Font
├── Image
│   ├── Acidanthera
│   │   ├── GoldenGate
│   │   │   ├── Apple.icns
│   │   │   ├── AppleRecv.icns
│   │   │   ├── AppleTM.icns
│   │   │   ├── BtnFocus.icns
│   │   │   ├── ...
│   ├── Blackosx
│   │   ├── BsxDarkFenceGreen
│   │   │   ├── Apple.icns
│   │   │   ├── AppleRecv.icns
│   │   │   ├── AppleTM.icns
│   │   │   ├── BtnFocus.icns
│   │   │   ├── ...
│   └── Chris1111
│       └── Apple-BnW
│           ├── Apple.icns
│           ├── AppleRecv.icns
│           ├── AppleTM.icns
│           ├── BtnFocus.icns
│           ├── ...
└── Label

Depending on the PickerVariant values:

•     PickerVariant=Default > GoldenGate is the chosen theme
•     PickerVariant=Blackosx\BsxDarkFenceGreen > BsxDarkFenceGreen is the chosen theme
•     PickerVariant=Chris1111\Apple-BnW > Apple-BnW is the chosen theme.

As I said to @Matgen84 icons are without prefixes?
