Missing icon request: Please try this script which is a simple python script to get missing icons from your installation.
The script searches for apps in /usr/share/applications directory and if any icon name is missing from the `Shadow`, it puts the corresponding file from /usr/share/icons in /tmp/missingicons dir.

Kindly let me know if this is helpful.

Folders with multiple colours.
Stay updated, stay tuned.

Beside most popular apps, this iconset also includes some uncommon apps, used by very specific groups like xmgrace, xcrysden.

Instruction for Mate and elementary Desktop Environment
The changecolor.py is completely re-written. You will have option to choose your de (gnome/mate/pantheon/unity) and colour independent of each other.
Kindly let me know if you face any problem in running `changecolor.py` (preferably in github)

New Icon Request:
Don't hesitate to contact me if you want new icons to be themed.
Please request at https://github.com/rudrab/Shadow/issues and add label "Icon request". I will try my best to theme the icons.

Love the icon set, but i do have a few things about it that i am not too fond of. Namely the top panel icons and the applications icon on the dash the circle style adds unnecessary complications to icons.
where do i go to remove or change these back to default while keeping the rest of the icons from this set?
