Custom Icons for Windows 11 Thread (Folders, Dropbox, Google Drive, Podcasts, NVME Drive, Steam, Adobe)

[Lucas North]

I thought so but, it's not gonna look proper, is it?

Or do you just want it as an icon in itself as it is ?

Folder icon please...

 

[Edwin]

Ok your choice...

Can I get all three!?!?!?
(If not, the middle one)
I promise..., I won't ask you for anything else...











... for at least a month

 

[Lucas North]

All yours buddy, enjoy

 

[Edwin]

All yours buddy, enjoy

Excellent!!! Thank You!!!
Lookin really great! I think the folder/icon icon is best, more distinguishable, but that's for another time!
Thanks again.

I must investigate the folder issue, not sure how or why that occurred but I will track it down.
Seems to be a couple of inconsistencies have occurred that I need to resolve, if you know of any more
then please let me know in a private message so we don't add to this very long thread.

Lucas North feedback regarding the foobar folder icon, i think it would look best if the "alien face" did not have a squircle grey-ish background at all, just the foobar logo, like this :

Could possibly be right but my colleague requested it that way so who am I to go against a clients wishes, good point though buddy let's see how he views it.

Lucas North hey bud, do you feel like making one more special request ?

AMD StoreMI default icon (which is utter garbage quality-wise) :

Some high-res logo of AMD StoreMI i've found on google image :

A transparent icon without background, and maybe the logo should be in the palette of red-orange'ish like those AMD icons (I very much like the palette of AMD 04.ico, AMD 05.ico and the circle of AMD Ryzen Master 01.ico):

I've still got a huge backlog of work buddy, other work away from the forum at present but I will add it to my 'must do' list and get back to you if that's ok.

Something like this ?

 

[Steven]

I have attached the ICO as a zip to the above post.

 

[Steven]

What do you think about this one ?

 

[Steven]

Ok :)

 

[Steven]

Better ?

 

[Steven]

I made a couple of variants too

 

[Steven]

 

[Steven]

Hope this will meet your needs

 

[Edwin]

I forgot to mention:
If you're a disorganized putz, like me, here's a nifty tweak...

I'm always movin stuff around, sometimes paths get broken, so...
I grab a copy of the pertaining .ico and put it in the actual folder I'm going to customize, then I Super Hide the .ico with the attrib command...

 

[Steven]

Is it impossible? :)

These ?

Sorry for my English, it's not my first language, but I didn't quite understand what you wanted. Do you want more MacOS-like icons or the opposite?

No problem! You know how the MacOS icons in the 'dock' at the bottom are like squares with rounded corners? I was wondering if you could reflect that with basically the same roundness, etc. I really enjoy that circle-square look so I was wondering if you could match that exact form factor, in case I want to use it on my Mac or Windows :)
No worries lol I'm not very good at explaining
[PS: I changed this for my discord icon on Windows because it has the same exact shape as MacOS icons)
