Summary

Updates the Theme & Icons section to point to the maintained continuation of Projektanker/Icons.Avalonia.
Users of Avalonia 12 will have their applications crash if they use Projektanker/Icons.Avalonia

  • The original Projektanker/Icons.Avalonia is no longer maintained — Projektanker GmbH has been dissolved and PRs to that repo are not being reviewed.
  • Optris GmbH has adopted the project and is maintaining it as Optris/Optris.Icons.Avalonia, with an Avalonia 12 port and ongoing FontAwesome / Material Design pack updates.
  • The new entry is placed in the alphabetically correct position (between Neumorphism.Avalonia and Palette Designer); the old Icons.Avalonia line has been removed to avoid pointing readers at an abandoned repo.

The XAML XML namespace URL is preserved in the fork as an opaque identifier, so existing consumer XAML keeps working — only the NuGet package IDs and C# namespace changed (Projektanker.Icons.AvaloniaOptris.Icons.Avalonia).

Projektanker GmbH has been dissolved and the original repository is
no longer maintained. Optris GmbH has adopted the project and ported
it to Avalonia 12; the maintained continuation lives at
https://github.com/Optris/Optris.Icons.Avalonia and is published to
NuGet under the Optris.Icons.Avalonia.* package IDs.

Hello @valentino-saitz-optris
I can see the repo had no update for last 11 months, but I do not see if the owner make the repo as archive.
I mention them here @just-seba @Phillip-Rommel

It's been about 10 days now with no reaction. They haven't marked the repository as archived, but their GitHub accounts have been inactive for roughly a year, so I doubt one is coming.

Meanwhile it's been over 3 weeks since the Avalonia 12 incompatibility was first raised in their repository, and people landing on this list will still try the Projektanker version and have their applications crash on startup.

it's been another month. You are still directing to an outdated, dead package. It would be great if we could resolve this. Projektanker is dissolved and won't respond. (in the meantime our package has already gotten over 10K downloads)
