I had this problem and found a reddit thread about it.

In short it seems to be an issue with the default icon size.

So after some messing around, I found a quick workaround for this issue, and it seems to be working fine so far:

  • Copy the void-logo file (or any svg file you want) to /usr/share/icons

sudo cp /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/void-logo.svg /usr/share/icons/(insert name here).svg

  • The copied file must be a different name than void-logo or else it wont work.

  • open /etc/os-release with your preferred text editor

sudo vi /etc/os-release

  • The file will look something like this:

    NAME="Void"

    ID="void"

    PRETTY_NAME="Void Linux"

    HOME_URL="https://voidlinux.org/"

    DOCUMENTATION_URL="https://docs.voidlinux.org/"

    LOGO="void-logo"

    ANSI_COLOR="0;38;2;71;128;97"

    DISTRIB_ID="void"

  • Now just replace the LOGO= entry with the copied file name. There is no need to put the file extension.

It should look like this:

LOGO="(insert name here)"
  • Now save the file and it should be good to go.

do note that /etc/os-release will revert itself when runit-void is updated

The theme I use is Skeuos-Red-Dark.

I got the theme from here. Once you download a theme, unzip it (if it's archived) and place it in /.local/share/themes.

Then open Tweaks, go to appearance and select the downloaded theme on the applications option.
