Icons for Xfce apps (mousepad, catfish, thunar) and PDF Viewers

They are made to suit both Papirus and Breeze Icon themes. Happy to make adjustments to the taste of esteemed Xfce contributors. and lovers.

If you are using Tor Browser it will take about a minute for images to load. I couldnt find an image host website for the outernet that allows uploading via Tor Browser (and that is NOT damned cloudflarr) so youll need to use Tor Browser to view them. Or copy the svg text below into the respective file on your system.

SVG files are all made by me and licensed GPLv3 for purpose of possible use for Xfce

Icons should load here ---> <---

The PDF Viewer icon can pretty much work for any PDF Viewer but the signature inside can be made out as Atril or muPDF.

48px versions at this stage but I can whip up the other sizes when needed.

Its late as heck and I gotta go but do leave your requests and i'll get them when I'm online again.

EDIT: It seems that the catfish icon can be a bit more... obvious, but I'll leave the esteemed Xfce community to make a judgement.

Privacy is a human right... I use Tor Browser in Safest Mode to block js, and dragged NoScript addon back into the toolbar to enable js on worthy sites. I add uBlock so it matches Tails' fingerprint.
