Boston icons 0.8 release
August, the 8th month. New Boston version, the 0.8. This one is centered on corrections, improvements, additions, better eBook support, code files and symbolics. ¶ Developed and tested on GNOME 3.36.4, the theme follows its own way outlined so far to continue making a more pleasant experience.
For example, now the Calibre app, topaz, LRF and AZW3 files have better integration. The symbolic icons support was extended to other fields for more coherence; Firefox and PDF Arranger now can bright with their own icons (Firefox symbolic is provided by Mozilla, and PDF Arranger app has new good one), so the provisional were removed. “Readme” and “Install” files have their own icon, differentiating them from the rest of texts. Multiple code filetypes appears: Java, SQL, SCSS, Sass, Kotlin, Perl, Scala, C#, Go, Ruby, Rust and Haskell. LaTeX is included too, as well as a new icon for partial downloads (simpler, descriptive and stylish).
Documentation in the package was revised, simplified and updated too, now has lowercase nomenclature. It breaks totally with old uppercase names, a little tradition on computer ecosystem, but a little nonsense today. Lowercase names for files are more current, more comfortable to write on terminal if is necessary, creating a relaxing, quick and elegant vision of it.
Boston Backgrounds has a new addition too. The wallpaper “Sand” is a cool option for those who love grey backgrounds with texture. As the other pieces, “Sand” is an original photo taken on 2017 with a Nexus 5X, specially revised for this release.
In addition, to further ensure the security and authenticity of packages, they are signed with PGP. The signature check files can be obtained here.
