The new deep orange folder icons for Lucid Lynx kick ass. All the default icons in the home directory have nice emblems representing, well not really emblems because emblems have a special meaning in nautilus but you get the point. However, some folders lack a special icon and that makes me a sad sad panda. The Ubuntu One folder is just a regular folder icon and I happen to have a ~/bin folder for my own scripts ans a ~/Devel folder because I’m a coder

Now these folders too will get some love, it was very easy to create new icons with inkscape.

If you can grab the svgs here : humanity-folders-extra.tar.gz

UPDATE: I removed the bin folder icon which was already in the official theme, added icons for Games and Books. I also made alternative icons for UbuntuOne, the original orange on orange one isn’t that great.

   I’m not able to get the file. It says:
   You don’t have permissions to access file: filename

   What can I do??

   Thankyou. The cloud is much better than a green tick. But I’ve moved it because it was in the wrong place: all the other icons have the ‘emblem’ in front of the folder, rather than on top of it, like this: http://img.obfuscatepenguin.net/ubuntu/icons/

   It would be a good idea to release the emblems so they can be just added to the folder.

    Hey, I love the ubuntuonefolder3 man, just what I needed. Except I use elementary OS. Do you have the svg of the Ubuntu badge only, so I can stick it onto blue elementary folder?

    You can get the badge by opening the icon with the orange folder in inkscape, clicking on the folder and pressing delete. I don’t actually remember where I got this badge in the first place but I’m pretty sure it was part of the stock icons available in /usr/share/icons
