Combines the newer design of the system-file-manager app icon with the color palette of the current folder icons. Also adjusts the aspect ratio to make it slightly wider, so it is not quite as square as system-file-manager but not quite as wide as the current folder icons.

Closes #1305


This is what has been done as of the initial PR:

  • Basic folder at all sizes
  • XDG User Directories at 48px and 64px
  • folder-open (drag-accept) at 48px

My initial thoughts/questions:

1) I am thinking the 16px folder should be slightly less rounded? (went ahead and adjusted this)
2) I just added folder-open at 48px, feedback for that one would be appreciated before I start on any other sizes.
4) Is the aspect ratio of folder okay? (personally, I am liking it a lot the more I use them so I hope that can stick).

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Use the new rounded folder style from the
`system-file-manager` app icon for folders.
Add base `folder` icon at missing sizes

Clean up borders of existing folders.
Fix inconsistent aspect ratio between sizes.

These are so good! I especially like how much more open the folder-open is here. It looks like it has a lot more dimension to it. Great job

Proportions of everything looks good, and I noticed these fit the baseline better compared to other icons which is really great.

Honestly these are really lovely and they do look way more modern which is great. I just had a few little nitpicks, so I opened a branch I figured that would be easier than trying to type it out: newhoa#1
